Crooks character shows the importance of companionship by depicting how people with companions act compared to people without. Crooks didn’t have any companions so he was independent, somewhat reserved, and petulant towards the other workers on the ranch. When Lennie entered his room, he said: “You go on get outta my room. I ain’t wanted in the bunkhouse, and you ain’t wanted in my room.” It shows that Crooks desired to have a companion but he wanted Lennie to leave because he wanted Lennie to feel the way he did. The importance of companionship is shown by different characters in Of Mice and Men.
Have you ever been prejudiced against for some reason? Lennie, in Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck has. Lennie is discriminated against while on the ranch and give in to this treatment submissively. Other people on the ranch treat Lennie like a little kid instead of an adult. For example, Lennie tells Curley’s wife the George has told hin to “stay here and not get in no trouble”(68).
“Of Mice and Men” The book "Of Mice and Men" tells a story about loneliness. It can be a simple as getting along with the men on the ranch or isolate yourself from everyone. Depending on people at this ranch is out of the question,depend on but yourself and you would get by. Curlys wife, Curly, and Crooks stood out to me as lonely characters. If you lived on the ranch with no one you really knew you would get lonely too.
As the trial continues, the atmosphere in the courtroom starts to tense up. Atticus asks Bob to write his name down and Bob replies, “I most positively will. How do you think I sign my relief checks?” (Lee 177). However, Bob takes everything for granted, for example, welfare checks. He does not bother to find a job or even support his family.
In our daily lives, we are filling ourselves up every second, because no one is born perfect. In the story “On the Rainy River” written by Tim O’Brien, it is about a collage boy struggled between taking his responsibility or avoid his responsibility. Through out the whole story, the author developed the way in which the narrator was struggled and restored his honour and certainty. At the beginning of the story, the narrator was a regular collage student. Even though he was in a club that was against wars, but he only stayed in theory and had no experiences about any of them.
There are people who have lived in our country all their lives and can still relate to many of the problems experienced by those who have came from other countries to America. In the article “Paternal Absence and Sex-Role Development: A Meta-Analysis”, Michael Stevenson and Kathryn Black explain that although there are many different causes for a father’s absence, investigators have had no discoveries that can indicate a variation in the effects the incident can have on an individual, or individuals (794). On May 10, 2006, a man left this world—a man important to my family and me—my dad. The loss of such a wonderful person took on toll on everybody in my family, but the effects are much more visible in my brother, Joseph. Before my dad past, Joseph was respectful.
I thought I should have stepped to help out but pigs were given first priority to and had more power than anyone in the farm, thus I decided not to. As days passed, Napoleon and Snowball took over, and started to run the farm. Napoleon was quite different from the whole group of animals, personally I did not like him or trust ‘Animal Farm’ in his hands. Napoleon’s speeches were short and to the point, which many of us including me, who never followed what he said. Us, animals were blindfolded by him and never realized he took advantage of the lack of knowledge we had just for the his benefit now and later in the future as well.
The laborers felt they held no influence in politics therefore they weren’t concerned with them. After time, the farmers’ and the laborers’ involvement in the national politics took on different roles. The farmers started at the bottom and worked their way upward. The laborers, who had no political power or influence, threw themselves into the center of the political world. Although the North and South labor forces didn’t see eye to eye, they did help to establish ways to limit those in the corporate world in ways that surprised and scared the capitalists.
How does Steinbeck present Crooks and Curley’s wife in ‘Of Mice and Men’? In John Steinbeck’s novel ‘Of Mice and Men’, Crooks represents the life of an African American during the 1930s. In Steinbeck’s novel, Crooks is a lonely, stable buck who becomes a victim of racism and prejudicial treatment because he is the only black man on the ranch. Even though Crooks has a crooked spine (where his name comes from) he works really hard and doesn’t cause any trouble. Despite all this he is still degraded by the other ranch hands.
Subsequent to Lennie’s death, Carlson simply cannot identify with George and Slim’s distress, stating, “Now what the hell ya suppose is eatin’ them two guys?” Similarly, the ‘boss’, who sustains the archetypal lower class authority figure of the time, appearing apathetic and brazen, whose world revolves around keeping his ranch going. Although he is only physically presented when Lennie and George first come to the ranch, he is often made reference to and this portrays the separation of authority from labour, which Steinbeck successfully portrays. Overall Steinbeck’s use of ‘stock characters’ enables him to give the reader an insight into what ranch life was like in 1930s post Wall street crash America and helps Steinbeck to juxtapose the main characters’ characteristics, actions and emotions. However he also inverses this technique of using ‘stock characters’ when he portrays Slim as he appears to venture away from the archetypal ranch worker as he is empathetic,
