George stated at the beginning that Lennie always gets into troubles. “You do bad things and I go to get you out,” (Steinbeck, 11). When Lennie held Curley's wife tighter and tighter we all knew whats going to happen because first he killed a mouse and he thought he will not do the same thing with a puppy. John Steinbeck used his creativity use of foreshadowing to make the book more enjoyable to read. Lennie seems to be very strong, but in reality he is the weakest character in the novel “Of Mice And Men”, because of the lack of his mentality ability and the missing characteristic to think for himself and make his own decisions.
I was also made aware of the world when Atticus told his children that everyone has a story and “you never understands a person until you consider things from the person’s point of view”. The characters in the story seemed believable. I could relate to them because my uncle and I were pulled over by white cops during my short stay in the United States simply because we were people of color.

And Simon helped everyone in the group and talked about the part in humans by talking to the “Lord of the Flies”, that is the head of a sow that is buried into the ground and it was named like that because it was surrounded by flies; the Lord of the Flies represents Beelzebub (the devil). Simon represented Jesus that was the man that helped people and talks about evil that is inside us, that
The bunkhouse is where most of the conversations happen. Loneliness is a key theme which occurs inside the bunkhouse because this is where Carlson bullies candy into allowing him shoot his ageing, smelly, crippled dog. Candy is dependent on his dog as the dog has been with him for a long time but also there are similarities between candy and the dog they can be both labelled as useless because candy lost his hand whilst he was working on the ranch so there aren’t much work for him to do, the reason he still is on the ranch is so that he could claim his compensation that he deserves, the dog is also useless because his old and tired and wouldn’t be able to herd the sheep as before. So when Carlson does shoot the poor dog candy feels alone with no one to be there with him. Dreams is also linked in with the bunkhouse because this is where George and Lennie discuss their dream ‘of living on the fat of the land’ ‘ Lennie tending the rabbits’ but candy over hears their conversation and wants to be part of their dream.
This ritual was recited by the chief of the tribe and the tribe was gathered around by the fire in celebration.

Moses the Raven said to the other animals that they could only go to SugarCandy Mountain if they worked hard. Moses the prophet told his followers that they could only get to Heaven if they prayed often and were nice to everyone around them, and just like Heaven, none of the animals know if there really is a SugarCandy Mountain, but they want to believe there is so they can all go there after they die. Squealer George Orwell chose the name Squealer for the pig from Animal Farm because
Lennie hopes of owning rabbits, but readers know that this is impossible because Lennie doesn’t know his own strength and goes weak for soft things. Crooks hopes that people would stop treating him different due to the color of his skin. Poor Candy just wants someone to keep him as an employee so he doesn’t die in the world lonely. All of these characters show this form of irony in their own way. Each of these characters holds these dreams close but as readers go throughout the story they see that the characters dreams are nothing more than far-fetched
Children are considered to be an importance to the representation of the family. To ensure the children's moral value, fables are used to teach them righteousness. For example: When Ekwefi was telling Enzinma of why the turtle's shell is not smooth. "Once upon a time, all the birds were invited to a feast in the sky....smooth" (Achebe 82 2). Similar to the popular fable "The Boy Who Cried Wolf", the moral of the story was to teach Enzinma that liars are not appreciated amongst society.
