Chris never would have left without intending on returning. Chris’s dysfunctional family and his abusive father, prompted him to take the trip even more. His, sister Carine, however, he loved to much to abandon. Chris wrote in a letter to Carine once that she was the only one who understood him. The two had a closer relationship than the average brother and sister, due to their fathers’ random outbursts of rage.
As soon as he found out that Lennie was being hunted down by the men on the ranch, especially Curley, he didn’t try to stop it or convince the men to re-think their actions. Once George told him of his plan to kill Lennie himself, Slim understood but he didn’t actually try to help them avoid the situation. He could have done so by encouraging them to run away and he could have given them some money to give them a head-start. I do agree to a great deal that Slim is a positive role-model for those around him. He possesses positive traits like believing in equality and trying to do the best by those around him.

The Positive Effects of Westward Expansion There were many changes in the United States during Westward Expansion. Though many changes were negative, the positive things outweighed the bad things. Without Westward Expansion the US would never be the strong, independent nation it is now and we gained almost one third of the land that we own now.

After all of the bad things that our country went through, we came out as a stronger nation.
This is the term used when land was taken away from the nobility and given back to the king until the noble has earned it back. This benefitted the king as well as he would gain the profits from the land until the noble was given it back. Henry also used something called the Order of the Garter to praise his nobility, as opposed to throwing land and money at them. This was a title that effectively cost Henry nothing but it carried some honour with it. Some nobles (William Stanley) were unhappy with this reward as they saw it as an empty reward, they wanted land or money instead.
Gold has to have a value on physical materials because America was run on the Gold Standard System. The economy shows us how gold has a value and now it’s changed over time. Gold was somewhat known, but wasn’t a major issue until March 15, 1848 because gold had become a worldwide currency. The Gold Standard was created to fix the prices of their domestic currencies to be a specified good amount.

Their marriage was most likely caused by Jean getting pregnant with their son, which made Ross feel like he had to marry her out of force. In the story, Ross specifically tells their son, Kevin that he should try not to marry beneath himself because he will end up stuck in the same situation as him.
I believe that when they first got married there was some kind of love in their relationship, but when they realized they could not conceive a child Don Elias blamed his wife. Even though it was most likely he was the infertile one, he treated her as if all she was good for was to take care of him like a maid. This is what made her a hard, bitter old woman. Dona Matilida believes it was her fault, and feels guilty about not being able to provide him with a child he so greatly desired. This caused her to turn a blind eye to what he was doing around town with other women.
Myrtle believes she's not fit for her social class, considering she's a expansive woman. '"All I kept thinking about, over and over was "You can't live forever; you can't live forever! "'Since Myrtle is quite obviously below the Buchanan’s class (yet another reason she goes for Tom), Fitzgerald (through Nick) ridicules her for insisting that she is above her husband. He didn't have a lot of positive to say about
English Composition 1003-10 25 September 2011 The Blind Leading the Blind After first reading Raymond Carver’s short story “Cathedral” one could easily get the impression that the narrator is a closed-minded jerk.
