Physically Candy is presented as old and frail. He is introduced in this passage as " the old man" immediately instigating a feeling of frailty and exhaustion. However this is contradicted by his opinionated and judging nature in the passage. Steinbeck also echoes Candy's character and overall appearance in his dog. The writer associates the dog and Candy as one using synonyms of the same adjectives to describe the two:" The old man moved towards the door and his ancient dog lifted his head" This further instigates the feeling of fragility in Candy, as it shows how him and his closest companion are old and in terms of the ranch, which depends upon strength, expendable and useless.
They couldn’t understand what we all knew. We drew some blood and placed an IV catheter in Johnny’s front leg with no complaining. He’s such a good dog. For Blue it took a bit more effort (he’s not very fond of restraint). But he’s a good boy, and we placed his IV as well.
At last George tells Lennie to look across the river and Lennie obeys him for one last time. Here George is painting a picture for Lennie. He is describing it in utmost detail. Right when George can see it and becomes overwhelmed with happiness, George ends his life with a shot to the head. The euthanizing of Lennie is just how we put dogs down today.
George’s dominance is also shown through a simile, “Like a terrier who doesn’t want to bring a ball back to his master” where George is the master and Lennie is the terrier. At the bunkhouse, we find words such as “white-washed” and “unpainted” contrast to the Edenic setting at the beginning. Foreshadowing is used throughout the book, such as how Lennie dies the same way as Candy’s
I’m sure most of the people in the park thought I was under the influence of drugs. When I started to drag the leash again as if I was walking my dog, another dog bit on the leash and started to pull, when it’s owner got a control of it I yelled to the gentleman ‘’ keep your dog in control it could have killed my dog’’. I can honestly say that in 18 years of my life no one has ever gave me such a weird, disgusted and hateful look like that guy
An example of this is when he shot Candy’s dog and he doesn’t apologise to Candy, but instead he cleans his gun in full view of everyone. This demonstrates that Carlson doesn’t feel sorry at all for shooting Candy’s dog and instead feels that Candy should apologise to him for having the dog for so long, and making him put up with the smell of the dog. However, some people might argue that Carlson is a sensitive and caring individual because before Carlson shot Candy’s dog he said “This ol’ dog suffers hisself all the time.” because “He’s all stiff with rheumatism.” This could suggest that Carlson is sensitive and caring because he wants the dog to be put out of its misery and he thinks that nobody should be made to suffer, not even a dog and he even says “I wisht somebody shoot me if I got an’ a cripple.”, which suggests that he wouldn’t want to be in pain and nobody else would either. Although I disagree with this because I think that Carlson is just trying to find another excuse for killing the dog. I think this because all the other reasons that Carlson has suggested have been reasons that suggest that he doens’t really care how the dog feels and he just cares about himself and his own wellbeing.
He describes the dog as ‘ancient’ and complains about how much he smells. He also mentions to Candy that the dog is old and has a lot of trouble getting through each day. Since the dog is deteriorating, Carlson tries to persuade Candy to kill the dog. “‘God awmighty, that dog stinks. Get him outa here, Candy!’…‘Got no teeth,’ he said.
In the end of Job’s story he is rewarded with double everything he had lost before and had a happy life until his mid 100’s. Holocaust victims suffered everyday with trying to escape the Nazi’s torture. For the majority of inmates the suffering of Auschwitz was soul-destroying. Primo Levi, author of “If this is Man” a memoir of Levi’s 11 month stay at Auschwitz, stated it this way in imagining what the Nazis might say to their victims: “‘We, the master race, are your destroyers, but you are no better than we are; if we so wish and we do wish, we can destroy not only your bodies but also your souls, just as we have destroyed ours’ (Levi 1988, 53–4). Levi’s suicide seemed to demonstrate that the reach of the Nazis was unlimited.
I felt angry about how Kress' irresponsibilities that caused his pets died in a famine because owners have the duties to feed their pets well. Since the beginning of the story told me about Kress was such irrepressible of making his pets suffered from starving, I think he would feel no guilty when he stopped feeding his sandkings to entertain his guests as he showed off to them in the parties. I think Kress was admirable as a human because everyone should not strew up animals' living areas as forcing fish to live on the ground. In the story of "Sandkings", Kress refused to listen to the sandkings' seller - Wo's warning about letting sandkings had wars by their own conflicts, and he didn't treat his pets nice. With what he treated the sandkings, they started behaving displeasures by twisted his sculptures on the castles.
Taking into account Scrooge’s nature it may be said that this is thoroughly true. All through the story it can be appreciated how Ebenezer treats people and how they respond to such nasty manners. For instance, the businessmen that Scrooge does business with frequently show no feeling about his death and go to his funeral simply for food. After having seen such an appalling flash of his future life the main character feels dreadfully blue. It is my view that people should treat others how they want to be treated, the kinder and more generous people are, the happier they will
