Young men thought themselves immortal, laughed off death, and never made it to their thirties (Staples 195).

"Boo was about six and a half feet tall, judging him from his tracks; he dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch, that's why his hands are blood-stained - if you ate an animal raw, you could never wash the blood off. There was a long jagged scar that ran across his face; what teeth he had were yellow and rotten; his eyes popped, and he drooled most of the time." (To Kill a Mockingbird, p.13).

Their deaths and Lennie’s eventual death result in the unfulfillment of the dream, leaving everyone lonely and without purpose. Dogs, both old and young, are a comfort to those with otherwise very lonely lives. Candy, the ranch worker, had grown attached to his old sheepdog, which he had had raised from when it was a puppy.

He remembered how soft the feathers felt and he would spend ages just running his hands through them, still soft and warm, tinged with blood…. so pretty. ‘George gonna be so mad at me’, he said to himself.
From the time Grendel was little until now, he had no one to talk to and everyone misjudged him. The deer, the ram the human, all of their first impression toward Grendel was freight. As you can see from the text, when Grendel said, “Pigs!” (27 Gardner), in response Gardner wrote, “the king snatched an ax from the man beside him and, without any warning, he hurled at me” (27) this explained how misjudged Grendel was, just from trying to say the word pig, the human still attacked him as if he was already a monster. The goodness and purity within Grendel was never able to be express because no one has given him a chance. In both the human and animal eyes Grendel is seen like a monster.
