This situation is repeated when Candy walks pass looking for Lennie and expresses to Lennie “this is the first time I ever been in his room”, which triggers Crook to invite him in too as he follows on to say “You can come in if you want”. The sense of eagerness is repeated which shows he longs for company which is further hinted as he says “A guy goes nuts if he’s lonely.” Loneliness and Isolation is something Crooks is used to, structurally speaking, section 4 starts and ends by Crooks rubbing oil on his back, alone. The sense of isolation is emphasized with the fact that throughout the whole book of Of Mice and Men there is only one section on Crooks, and the whole section focuses on him which brings up awareness of segregation which was at its peak at the time towards black
After using Marla’s mother into the homemade soap him and Tyler are creating without her permission, the narrator starts feeling an amount of guilt and regret.

In the analogy one of the prisoners is released, he turns around and discovers the fire, people and the rest of the things behind the prisoners. At first it was painful for the prisoner to look at the fire as his eyes were only accustomed to the shadows, gradually however he becomes used to the light and can see more clearly. Plato uses the cave to represent the World of Appearances or the Empirical World- the world in which we live. The shadows on the wall represent images, shadows and other illusions which we can see from the sun, here depicted as the fire. The prisoner is dragged by force out of the cave into the true sunlight.
Steinbeck carries this theme throughout Of Mice and Men, the Great Depression what a dark and lonely time in America’s history and Steinbeck was trying to tell us it did not have to be this way. People can always reach out and develop relationships in order to stave of the “meanness” of isolation. Prejudices in the 1930’s kept people isolated itinerant worker life harsh and kept people on move and on their own.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.
They are scarcely remembered. Women play a small role in these six short stories: “The Things They Carried,” “Love,” “Spin,” “Sweetheart Of the Song Tra Bong,” “Stockings,” and “The Lives Of The Dead”. Beloved female characters such as Martha, Mary Anne Bell, Linda, Kathleen, and Henry Dobbins’s girlfriend all affect the men of the Alpha Company. The men romanticize the women and use their occurrence in writing, photographs, and even their imagination, as a manner of comfort and memento that humanity other than killing and war does exist outside the mayhem of Vietnam. They represent the part of life that the soldier’s were hoping and dreaming about, and they are getaway from war.
Rebecca Wagner Book Report One English 9 Block 4 9/14/11 Ride Like The Wind True Colors by Kristen Hannah is about a crime that shocks a small town, a terrible mistake made by our legal system, sisters who have lost their way, a boy who doesn’t know how to be a man without his father, and true love. I went on a journey to a corner of Washington State, 1992 where girls look forward to the County Fair and sleep in a dusty stall every once and a while. I loved this book and I could relate to a lot of the characters. It was compelling, passionate, and inspiring. It shows that even through hardships, your family will always be there for you.
The images within this poem evoke a strong sense of loss and strength. I immediately connected to this poem, as I recently had to put my dog of ten years down. My dog and I shared a special bond and we had a very special relationship similar to the relationship between the owners and their cat that is described in the poem. The first thing that stuck out to me was that the owners buried their cat with his bowl. Clearly the blue bowl is a symbol.
The tourists drink in every word the priest says, almost seeming hungry for more. MacCaig cleverly portrays them as birds, using words such as “clucking” and “fluttered” , making them seem like brainless followers who, despite taking in every word the priest said: “passed the ruined temple outside” Here we are told that the tourists and the priest walked right by the beggar, pretending he didn’t exist. This is a strong example of hypocrisy as the tourists have just been told to help the poor, yet walk by this “ruined temple”, perhaps described like this to remind us he is a living, breathing man who has fallen on hard times. Later in the third stanza, another contrast within the beggar is made known. The dwarf is further described, and the reader is told he has infected eyes and a hunchback, further bringing about feelings of sympathy in the reader towards this unfortunate man as we imagine his discomfort.
“I feel that this award was not made to me as a man but to my work.” (Faulkner, pg 1) This excerpt from his speech shows the readers that Faulkner does use his emotions to write his books. One of Faulkner’s characters named Vardaman, an 8 year old boy, shows great love for his mother. The loss of his mother affected him very badly in which he began to “vomit the crying.” (AILD, pg 54) In meaning that the death of his mother made him cry so badly he was unable to stop crying. His compassion for his mother is very strong. With the love and compassion Vardaman has for his mother shows that he has tremendous respect for his mother.
