“While I’m at it, here’s a little for running me around today.”’ “He handed me two ten-dollar bills”pg44. He truly cares about everyone. Even when giving to others he anticipates them sharing with somebody else also. “Just buy someone else dinner some time when they really need it,”’ pg44. “C taught me to give half of what you have to help a fellow human being-and sometimes more” pg423.
Finally after Charlie about stole her shot, her father asked, "do you want to shoot it, pumpkin?" After a a little hesitation, and another rant from Charlie, Andy says yes, and shoots. After being very hesitant to shoot, she finally stuck him, and while all the men were dancing around celebreating, Andy though to herself "What did I just do." Andy's first step in the coming of age process was complete. Unlike all the men she had tried to not let down, she felt guilty about killing an innocent creature.
Some Key facts to remember Carlson: I limited, insensitive person. He does not handle the later shooting of candy’s dog with any compassion. Carlson offers to shoot candy’s dog as candy is paralyzed at the thought. Candy knows that when he is no longer needed as a swamper (cleaner), he will be ‘shot’ just like a dog. However Candy later regrets letting Carlson shoot his dog for him as he says ….. “I shouldn’t ought to of let no stranger shoot my dog”- The shooting of the dog foreshadows the death of lennie.
Lennie believes that George is just going to yell at him for what he has done. George recites the story of the farm once more, but lacking the normal emotion. George knows that he must kill Lennie to save him from what the other men might do. 43. The impact of Curley's wife's death was about the same as that as the death of the puppy.
In that moment he knew he had to shoot Lennie, George thought about when Candy’s dog had to die, how Carlson shot him, and not Candy himself. George knew he had to kill Lennie himself because of that experience. When Carlson shot Candy’s dog George could see the pain in Candy’s face. George didn’t want to experience that pain for himself. Yet he was forced into the same position.
Dallas, 1951–1966 After a year in Santo, Speck moved with his mother, his stepfather, and his sister Carolyn to the East Dallas section of Dallas, Texas, living at ten addresses in poor neighborhoods over the next dozen years. Speck loathed his often drunk and frequently absent stepfather, who psychologically abused him with insults and threats. [2] Speck, a poor student who needed glasses for reading but refused to wear them, struggled through Dallas public schools from fourth through eighth grade, repeating eighth grade at J. L. Long Jr. High School, in part because he refused to recite in class because of a lifelong fear of people staring at him. [2][3] In autumn 1957, Speck started ninth grade at Crozier Technical High School, but failed every subject and did not return for the second semester in January 1958, dropping out just after his 16th birthday. Speck had begun drinking alcohol at age 12 and by age 15, was getting drunk almost every day.
It was brown, and got it's name from Queen Elizabeth, whose nickname was Bess. So therefore since they used that type of gun a lot during her time, it was named the Brown Bess. The gun was very important to Tim's dad. Life thinks it is pointless for young men to go to war and fight over their “freedom” which he defines, as only being able to “mock your King”, and “shoot your neighbor.” Life has seen through the eyes of war, and has seen his friends die, with their guts spread out all over themselves. Life carried the body of his friend in a sack to the boys mother, and he describes it as being a very depressing time in his life.
A large portion of Holden’s depression comes from failing multiple times. He has flunked almost every class he has taken except English. When he fails, his classes, he does not care about it and goes on with his life. Holden is kicked out of Pence Prep because of his low grades and his inability to take school seriously. This quote shows that he does not care about his future in education.
1. George kills Lennie by shooting him in the back of the head to save him from a more painful death at the heads of Curley, who has vowed to make him suffer for the death of his wife. George loves his friend Lennie, whom he has looked after faithfully, and he doesn't want Lennie to die horribly, especially since Lennie has unwittingly taken the life of Curley's wife in much the same way as he petted the puppy too hard or squeezed the mice to death. Lennie didn't know his own strength. When Curley's wife screamed, he didn't know how to make her stop except to do what he did, but he did not intend to kill her.
Lennie had no idea what he was doing, and it wasn’t fair that he should be killed out of hate. George had learned from Candy when he said: "I ought to have shot that dog myself, George. I shouldn't ought to have let no stranger shoot my dog." (Page 86) Candy had taught him that if Lennie's death was unavoidable, it might as well be done by someone who cares about him. Lennie had to be killed out of
