Initially, they are unsure of each other, and of just how much they can share with each other, but as the story unfolds, we see more of a friendship beginning to evolve, for example George defends Candy when Carlson is threatening to kill his dog. Also, when George disapproves of Candy and Lennie spending time with Crooks, we see an interesting authority from George over the other men, and Candy is ‘crestfallen’ when George scolds him. ‘Well you guys get outta here. Jesus, seems like I can’t go away for a minute.’ This shows the power George holds over them, perhaps because he is the leader almost of the dream, and they all greatly trust him. In comparison, the relationship with George and Curley’s wife is almost the opposite to his friendship with Candy, as there is no trust or ease between them.
He is talking about Curley’s wife with the clear intention of discrediting her to George. This displays him to be a heedful rumourmonger amongst the other itinerant workers: “Well, I think Curley’s married a tart.” In addition, another language device that Steinbeck uses in this passage to present Candy is adjectives. There are a wide variety of adjectives used such as, “reassured” and, “safe” which also describe Candy’s inner thoughts and feelings. The fact that Candy feels secure when taking to George implies that he is reluctant to talk to any of the other ranch hands because they usually disrespect him and exclude him for who he is: a disabled individual. However, “reassured” may suggest a sense of caution and perceptiveness about Candy, and suggests that initially he did not trust George and Lenny.
How does Steinbeck create sympathy for Candy during the dog shooting incident? Steinbeck created sympathy for candy by using many different writing techniques; he did this to try and connect with the reader and make them feel sorry for Candy. In section three Carlson suggests that he would shoot the dog however Candy tries to put it off but Carlson doesn’t agree. So looked at Slim for help. “Candy looked a long time at Slim to find some reversal.
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.
In the novel 'of Mice and Men' written by John Steinbeck, one of the protagonist who names George travels with his friend Lennie, they find a new job in the ranch and try to adapt themselves to new circumstance. During this time, they meet an old swamper whose name is Candy. Generally, Candy and George are different because they have different backgrounds, and they are similar because they have the same wishes about their futures. To start with, the reason why George chooses to come and work on the ranch is that Lennie and George have no choice but to leave their hometown. In the novel, George and his friend Lennie worked in their hometown-- Weed.
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. Candy’s final comment about the dog truly influences George’s decision to kill Lennie. Later George will shoot Lennie to spare him from the unbridled violence of candy. For both, death is to be seen as a merciful release.
In one of the most moving scenes in the story, the ghost of Christmas present took Scrooge to watch the Cratchit family celebrate Christmas. Even know the Cratchit family were poor, they were all thankful just to be together and have a goose to feast upon. Bob Cratchit even showed his respects to Scrooge by making a toast. ‘He hoped the people saw him in the church, because he was a cripple, and it might be pleasant to them to remember upon Christmas day, who made lame beggars walk and blind men see. ‘God bless us everyone!’ Dickens is giving the Christmas image which is all about getting together and feasting.
BSL was made to try to regulate specific breeds of dogs. Usually, BSL targets breeds that are thought of as dangerous breeds. Proponents of BSL claim that BSL is a great way to reduce the threatening pit bull breed (www.animallaw.info, 2007). People who support BSL usually have imagined pit bulls as vicious dogs bred just to fight. BSL is slowly being seen as ineffective laws because leaders of communities are being educated more about pit bulls.
Dear Lennie, I know killing you was wrong of me, but if I didn’t do it then Curley and the other guys would have killed you. I didn’t want it to have to come to killing you, but the guys gave me no choice because they would have killed you or put you in an insane asylum. I killed you because I would have rather done it then letting one of the other guys do it because you are my best friend. If I let one of the other guys kill you then that would have made me feel the same way Candy did when they killed his dog because he said, ‘“ I ought to of shot that dog myself, George. I shouldn’t ought to of let no stranger shoot my dog’” (Steinbeck 61).
