This event was very unpleasent for Candy. I agree the ranch was a very unpleasent place for many reasons, everybody who lived in the ranch had no choice. They could not choose where to live, what to eat, or what to do because they didn’t have family and anyone to support. Workers on the ranch are used to living by themselves so that's probably why they all only care about themselves and not how unpleasent they make life for everyone else on the
Lennie had crushed his hand in his giant ‘paw’, breaking most of the bones in his hand. If someone knew that there was a dangerous man around the ranch you would not let your loved ones go around the ranch alone. His absence shows that maybe Curley didn’t really care much about the safety of his own wife, as he let her walk around the ranch like there was nothing to worry about. I think Curley neglected his duties as to protect his wife because Curley either doesn’t really care about his wife and only really married her for the pride or he cared about her but didn’t think about her as much as he should have he thought more about his pride and respect than the safety of his own wife. I also think that George is morally responsible because he is obliged to take care of Lennie, George knows everything about Lennie and therefore should have known what he is capable of.
Character Description 1: Lennie Small A very important main character we are introduced to in this story is Lennie Small. In my opinion Lennie is the most interesting character in the story because he differs from the other characters in many ways. Lennie Small as well as his companion George Milton are migrant workers who travel around the country working on ranches. They hope that one day they will pursue the dream they share of owning their own land or as Lennie says “living off the fatta’ the lan”. Lennie is incapable of making decisions by himself and relies and depends on George entirely and also looks to him as sort of a big brother.
Another time that he shows his braveness is when he protects Katniss from Cato as well as the careers. By joining the careers, the reader assumes he betrayed his team when really it was to steer them away from her. After he hisses “’ What are you still doing here?’” and then “shoves [Katniss] away from him hard” (192) we learn that he is assuring that his love stays out of danger. Peeta didn’t even need to scream “’Run!’” (193) she was stumbling away as efficiently as she could just as “Cato [slashed] his way through the brush” (194). Peeta knew that the careers were much stronger than him and that they would certainly not be content with his actions of letting her get away, however
George stays with Lennie, I believe, out of a sense of duty and an overwhelming loneliness. George promised Lennie's aunt that he would look after Lennie, and now he has become so used to being with Lennie that he does not know any other way. Lennie, despite the frustration George feels in taking care of him, is George's only friend. From Lennie's perspective, George is the most important person in his life, his guardian and only friend. Every time he does anything that he knows is wrong, his first thought is of George's disapproval.
We would think of this person as sort of, untouchable, but Staples explains why he sees it this way. "I only needed to turn a corner into a dicey situation, or crowd some frightened, armed person in a foyer somewhere, or make an errant move after being pulled over by a policemen. Where fear and weapons meet-and they often do in urban America-there is always a possibility of death." (Staples 314). Staples tells us that by being perceived as dangerous by others, he was always just a step away from being faced with death.
George loved Lennie and Lennie loved George. In the beginning of the book George shooting Lennie was the last thing on my mind. For they had already been in trouble. I was expecting them just to run like that last occurance. George must have been tired of
All the characters suffer with unhappiness in their lives because none of them can escape the misery of being on their own. While starting the novel we are told by George ‘Guys like us that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world.’ By this George means if they didn’t have each other, than he and Lennie would be all alone. While the novel continues to the first introduction of the ranch, everyone seems lonely. Crooks experiences the most isolation because the society is extremely racist. He
This quote offers clean evidence of McCandless’ willingness to continue climbing while ignoring the reality that his family was exhausted which was a potential danger. Here, McCandless’ attitude started to illustrate the rebelliousness that his father foreshadowed. His family was in total agreement that McCandless felt that “the odds did not [apply] to him. We were always trying to pull him back from the edge” (109). His family attempted to exercise some guidance in order to protect McCandless.
The people who do this kind of work and make a career out of do not do it because of any fame or lucrative multimillion dollar contract that they are going to earn at the end of the season; they do it because they love what they do.
