Lennie is made a more believable character by Steinbeck comparing him to a bear. Ironically lennies name was Lennie Small but he was far from this. ‘He walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws’. This gives Lennie the actions of a bear , making him walk and act like a bear. His hands are referred to as ‘paws’ to signify size and strength.
Just because his friends are don’t do well in school doesn’t mean that he is to. He helped out Johnny when he was in need, right after Johnny murdered that other Soc, Johnny suggested that they run away Ponyboy didn’t just leave him he ran away with him. Plus Ponyboy didn’t do anything wrong, he stayed with his friend no matter what. That day when Dally, Johnny, and Ponyboy were at the movie theaters Ponyboy didn’t disrespect the two girls like Dally did. He gave them respect and wanted Dally to stop.
All Lennie actions show his innocence. They way he likes to pet, the way Lennie does not understand the real things and the way of how people treats him is what shows that people do not need to be smart to transcend in life. Or the way George protects Lennie and the way George take decisions in his life and Lennie’s life shows that to exceed in life, you do not need to be the smartest person in life. You only need the
George’s and Lennie’s characters are round, evolving throughout the story. There are also a few stock characters. Curly, the ranch owner’s bully son, has a wife whom he neglects.

First reason is that the Spinosauras has a height of 14 ft. but don’t forget that it has a spine growing on its back, while the T-Rex is only 13 ft. Second reason is that the speed of the Spino is fast and it will be harder for the T-Rex for it focus on it and, cause a full force attack on the Spino because the T-Rex also has bad eyesight. Last but not least is its body shape is made so it would be harder for threats inflict damage upon. Let’s see who the dominant dino is! Height plays a big role in the dino world if a dinosaur is small the tall dino would have a big advantage over it because of its height. The Spinosauras was over 13ft.
His name can be said as an oxymoron. Steinbeck adds early in the book, “Huge man, shapeless face,large pale eyes,wide shoulders,walks heavily with arms hung loosely” (2). This shows that Lennie is a very big figure and makes him stick out against the average man. This could be a direct correlation that Steinbeck does to make Lennie's disability stick out more and make it more perceivable to the reader. Lennie is often depicted as animalistic in this book as well.
Social disengagement theory has the most value because it states the natural process individuals go through as they age which is being less socially active. The social disengagement theory is better than the activity theory because it is more useful in this scenario as the man is not physically active as he needs assistance throughout the whole day therefore the activity theory is of no use when looking at the scenario whereas social disengagement theory is useful as the man is less socially active and does not interact because as the scenario explains, he is not able to spend much time with his children and
Both messages are similar to those one might find in tales designed to support a moral message. The Overcoat and The Necklace each use opposing ideas to help support the same moral message about the materialistic world. In the story of The Overcoat, we find a man who is content in his life. His contentment is based on not needing anything but the satisfaction of his work. The life we see in Akaky Akakievich does not need the approval of others and does not need the acquisition of things in order to achieve anything more within his self awareness.
They are describing the American Dream of owning land, being independent, having material possessions that provide security, and, in general, running their own lives. Lennie's interpretation of this dream is that he will tend the rabbits — soft, furry animals that provide him with a feeling of security. This is a place where he won't be scared or running because he has "done a bad thing." Lennie's voice fills with laughter and happiness because safety means soft things and tending the
Although he is not involved in politics, the boys of his town admire his traits and believe that he is a perfect candidate to represent the population. Smith is even called a “hero” among some of the boys. Smith loves the outdoors, is good with his hands and is a “people person”.
