Unlike the boss Slim is greatly respected by his fellow workers and deemed as a great leader. "[Slim] was a jerkline skinner, the prince of the ranch..", all ranch workers looked up to Slim "His authority was so great that his word was taken on any subject, be politics or love."(37). On the other hand we have boss's son Curley who walks around with a chip on his shoulder. Curley is always looking for a fight and seems to rub everyone the wrong way. He behaves threateningly to Lennie because "he hates big guys.
When we first meet Slim he is described as “A tall man stood in the doorway.” This quote could be immediately referring to his actual physical height or it could be referring to his position within the ranch as a well respected member of staff. When people are higher up, it allows for an immediate increase in power and statutory rights, this could show how much of an influence Slim may have over the other characters. This also links to how the other characters respect him and show a certain amount of obedience to him and what he asks of them. The quote “he moved with a majesty only achieved by royalty and master craftsmen.” The words “majesty” and “royalty” are usually used when talking about important figures in society like monarchs for example. This quote is telling us that when he walks in the room he has a certain presence that’s usually only achieved by great people, the kind of person children use as a role model.
Whereas the power of hierarchy is portrayed through the Boss, Slim and Curly. In the novella Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck presents physical power through the character Lennie Small. Lennie is a huge character, with immense physical strength. We can deduce this, from the opening description “A huge man” . The description here has foreshadowed
~"He was the prince of the ranch...His hatchet face was ageless." Slim is described as being princely and royal from the start, being someone who anyone can talk to about their problems or just for advice. His looks and demeanor support his personality. ~"...calm, Godlike eyes fastened on him..." We know that Slim isn't actually a god, but his inviting personality that makes George open up to him makes him seem like that of a god.

He would always command loudly to his soldiers, he was always the closest to any other warrior when fighting, and most important of all, they were all shooting at him and he was never hit by any bullets. He was one of the best fighters in his time period, probably still the best as of today. What’s significant about Crazy Horse is the fact that everyone thinks of him as a legendary warrior; hence the objects and places that were named after him. After his surrender in the Battle of Little Bighorn, he was stabbed to death. Since this day, everyone always sensed that he was still around as a spirit looking over him or her, protecting him or her like he did
All The King's Men: Written Response How are memory, the past, politics, transformation, corruption and alcohol related to one another? In Robert Penn Warren's All the King's Men, Governor Willie Stark is both disturbed and unconcerned by his past. The Governor is adored by his people, and finds that he has outright control of any situation from its establishment to its resolution. Subordinate people encircle him; however, they prove to be part of a larger problem. Stark is seen to possess a dynamic, yet influential persona with the ability to mesmerize and overcome those around him.
I herded sheep with him." He said proudly, you wouldn’t think it to look at him now, but he was the best damn sheep dog I ever seen." This quote uses foreshadowing because for one thing, it is a companion to Candy as Lennie is to George. Also, the dog's death may have been Candy's fault just like Lennie's death may be George's fault. The effect of using foreshadowing is that foreshadowing puts the reader in suspense.
“Slim’s calm invitation to confidence.” “ * "He's got a team" showing Slim is a leader. This quote shows us the different levels of authority amongst the itinerant workers. * Slim's "authority" means that he gets to decide who deserves justice, and who deserves a little leniency. He's good at reading character, saying "I can tell a mean guy from a mile off", this too shows his influence on the rest of the ranch members. * “You hadda, George.
In John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, the men on the ranch view symbolism in many different ways. The boss and Slim symbolize respect in different ways. The boss is described as: “On his head was a soiled brown Stetson hat, and he wore high-heeled boots and spurs to prove he was not a laboring man” (pp. 20). The boss only demands respect through how much money he has, and how he appears.
