Of Mice and Men By Jamie Clarke Chapter 7: Page 1 George stared down at the grave, it read , “here lies lennie a caring friend.” The guilt he felt was unbearable, it was like a huge boulder crushing down on him and he was doing his best to hold it up and stop it from crushing him. It was dark and the graveyard was dimly lit with only a few slow burning lanterns hung up around the graveyard. George would visit this place once every week because he just couldn’t stay away! Sometimes he would speak to lennie, he missed him so much but he knew he couldn’t change what had happened, He some how knew he had done the right thing but he also knew that Curly would be onto him soon.
To save himself Crooks tries to explain to Lennie how it feels to be lonely, ‘Maybe you can see now, you got George. You know he’s goin’ to come back.’ This monologue is important Crooks is lonely in many ways: he is crippled so he is isolated from society, he is black and he is intelligent all of which set him apart from anyone else on the ranch. At this point animal language is used again for Lennie. Crooks discusses how life would be for Lennie if he was on his own, ‘They’ll tie you up with a collar, like a dog.’ Words like ‘growled’ also show how Lennie’s temperament changes. Please note that animal language is used the most during tense scenes.
He leaves his house one night after dark and as he goes into the woods he “beheld the figure of a man, in grave and decent attire sitting at the foot of an old tree” (391). The man is said to look a lot like Goodman Brown, which could suggest that every person has the capacity to do evil. Hawthorne also implies that the Devil is an embodiment of all of the worst qualities of a man. As they walk through the woods Goodman Brown starts to see people that he has known for his whole life and it makes him question how good these people are. Among them are his old Sunday school teacher, Goody Cloyse whom the Devil reveals is a witch.
In the novel the forest is representative of natural law and authority and this allows each character to act as they wish while in it. In the case of Chillingworth it represents his darkness and his friendship with evil. He is often seen walking through the woods collecting weeds, plants and other herbs to make remedies and medicine. This shows that his medicine to help Dimmesdale was always filled with bad intentions and that he only kept him alive in order to continually torture him. There is a correlation between Chillingworth and the Black Man because both are said to dwell in the woods.
The hallway was pitch-black but he could see perfectly, as he headed towards his father’s room. He pushed the door open with a loud creak and smiled madly at the sight of his father sleeping silently. He moved like a ghost to the bedside and started beating this father. Years of being beaten fuelled him, as every hit got harder and harder. His smile fills his face as he hears his father’s screams, when his nose shatters causing cartilage and blood to drip.
They are alarmed at the light that peaked through the door and they start to complain. They father then runs out with his son leaving the cart behind them and runs for the forest because they alarmed the people there. They wake up in the middle of the night seriously cold and uncomfortable. The father sees his son shivering like crazy so he gathers fire wood and gives his blankets to

He informs his wife he must set off into the forest to embark on a journey in which we are not told why. On his journey in the woods, Goodman Brown comes in contact with an eerie man who claims to have known Goodman's father and grandfather. Nathaniel Hawthorne describes the man as an evil looking man who displayed poor character, which raises Goodman's speculation of the an truly knowing his father and grandfather. The man and Goodman continue off into the forest, where they meet an elderly woman named Goody Cloyse. The woman confirms Goodman's suspicions of the old man as being an evil spirit and to which she lets him know that she is a witch herself.
In the beginning of “A Night Ride on a Prairie Schooner”, the author used figurative and descriptive language when describing the crying boy with a limp entering “The Big Prairie” with his family. The boy was described as dressing alike as his father, blue shirt and blue denim jeans, which made him appear like he wanted to look older. As the wagon the boy rode in was moving on he listened to things like crickets chirping, the clicking of the wheels, and he watched the sky go dark while he counted the stars as they appeared. When his family entered the woods he became very aware of his surroundings, listening to the hooting of owls and the sound of night birds flying around. As he fell asleep he was described as hearing “the creak of
