Also, Grant used to be a very hostile man and he didn't care for anything but from visiting Jefferson he started to care about his life and the things in it, he dedicated his whole self to helping Jefferson become a man and he would get into arguments defending his choices with his aunt even if she was very important to him and they never fought. This is greatly shown when Grant is on a visit with Jefferson along with his aunt, Emma and the reverend Grant talks to Jefferson and tells him how he needs him and how he is someone who can do so much while he cant, then he began to cry. This shows how Grant wants to make a change in his life. Grant is a person who goes from being miserable and only cares for himself into someone who can love other things in life and fights for
Even Curley. I know where they all went.” This shows us that Curley’s wife is aware of what men in the society are like but she still decides to stay with him because she had no choice – highlights the inferior of women. Another way that Curley tries to prove himself to the ranchmen is by constantly finding opportunities to vigorously pick a fight – especially with Lennie to demonstrate his power against everyone else. “No big son-of-a-bitch is gonna laugh at me.” Shows us that he does this to resent himself from being a smallish man, this can reflect on him knowing that his size is his weakness in comparison to Lennie’s bear-like physical features. All this gives the reader an idea that men in the 1930s were careless and they would do anything to prove their authority – no matter what.

Sonny’s brother should agree with Sonny on that if they are to get along if not it might keep affecting their
He reiterates, however, that his reasons are based on merit. He feels Sonya’s high level of enthusiasm may be a detriment to her work performance because customers may be turned off by it. He also suggests that Jacqueline would be better choice because she is married. Paul disagrees but, in the end, Robert states that they will go with Jacqueline and see how it works out. The two generate an interesting debate; however they might lose their credibility because Robert brought the fact that Jacqueline was married which is not job related and could be discriminatory to unmarried applicant while Paul he continually refer about Sonya’s enthusiasm and could be the selling point but this is not also offer any substantial reasons for her preference.
Another issue raised was the fact that Irene continuously tries to persuade Brian into doing the things she wants in order to feel safe. Brian insisted on going to Brazil because of his knack to experience a more adventurous, freer, and less racist society. Irene opposes this notion to “get away”, and prevents him from expressing his desires because she believes she had made too many sacrifices in order for her and her beloved ones to live in this middle-class environment. She could not give up the life she had, to go away and start up a new
Preserving one’s reputation is a main concern to many people in the world. One might go through drastic measures just to influence how they are looked upon by other people. People may fight for an honorable respectable name to preserve their strong reputation. In the play The Crucible by Arthur Miller preserving one’s respectable reputation is a common theme. John Proctor fights to keep his good name in the community, Reverend Parris strives to keep his good reputation in Salem, and Reverend Hale regrets his actions and works to correct them.

Exclusive of Crooks, Curly’s wife tends to be romping around the farm making everything more difficult for everyone else, as Carl shares, "Maybe you better go along to you own house now. We don’t want no trouble" (Steinbeck, 85). In the end they both have a drive to be accepted and talked to, but just how far they will go to achieve it differs
Although Spurgeon is angry with his father, Ray Bivens Jr. and does not seem to understand him, he has a great desire to reconnect and somehow be close with his father. An example of this great desire would be when he drove down to get Ray Bivens Jr. out of jail. Spurgeon knew that he was not supposed to go down there and that his mother told him not to go but because it was his father he did it anyways. Another example would be when he was at the bar with his father, and his father was trying to get the keys and drive off with Farrah. Spurgeon and his father ended up getting into a fight about his father leaving with his mother’s car.
