His mother would smash his face against the glass and pressure him to frequently say, “ I am a bad boy!” His older brothers, Ron and Stan, would ignore him. Dave was sent to search for items in the house. This was often an all-day adventure.
Sebastian Rodriguez Galijour Creative Writing 18 March 2014 The Boy Who Cried Wolff When Jonathan’s parents divorced, they began completely new lives. Both became wrapped up in work, travel, and dating. No matter if he were with his mother or father, there would always be a new “uncle” or “aunt” visiting the house followed by loud screams and moans that would pierce through the walls. Jonathan grew up drawing on walls and pushing girls down from the swing sets. He’d come home with stray animals and new burns or scars; but as much as he acted out, it always resulted with just a slap on the wrist and a day trapped in his room.

He starts to grab his head to stop hearing the wedding song and starts to have flashback visions of him seeing Nicki in the shower and Pat beating up Dough almost to his death. This scene symbolizes that Pat isn't aware of his surroundings when he thinks of the horrifying memory of his wife cheating on him. He loses his temper and it allows him to become weak.

In this folktale, Weeping John is constantly sick because he is worried about how his family will survive after his death (Gold 148). Because he is sick all the time, he is unable to perform his work well, and the neighbor farmers hesitate to give him work. A doctor happens to pass by where John was sitting.

Tired of constantly reminding Lennie of things he should remember, George gets quickly angry when Lennie forgets to get the firewood, for example, and instead goes after the dead mouse. On the other hand, George's anger is quickly under control, and he blames himself for scolding Lennie. In fact, Steinbeck makes clear that, despite his complaining and frustration, George looks out for Lennie and genuinely cares for him. Without companionship we have nothing, relationships with other people can define who a person is. Whether that relationship is with a dog, as in Candy’s case or with a wife like Curly.
He was no longer allowed to eat meals alongside his family, play with his brothers, watch television, leave the house, or look at or speak to anyone. His mother even stripped him of any sort of identity; he was no longer referred to as ‘David’, but instead was simply called ‘The Boy’.

His father continued in his attempts to fight for David, asking his mother to let up. However, these attempts only seemed to fuel his mother’s rage towards him; often resulting in increased intensity and severity of the beatings being inflicted upon
