"A guard can't get people to budge even in working hours, but a squad leader can tell his men to get on with the job even during the break, and they'll do it. Because he's the one who feeds them. And he'd never make them work for nothing." This means that the squad leader is more convincing to the men than just a normal guard, because the leader is the one who runs the whole gang, and gets them food, good working places, and first in line at the cafeteria. The leader is the one who lives with the rest of the gang everyday.

He is a loving husband, a hard working farmer, a proud father, and most important a faithful Christian. He is a stand-up guy who spoke his mind. Around town, his name was always mentioned with honor and integrity. He took pleasure in exposing hypocrisy and was respected for it.

He has a lot of patience for him, because he knows that nobody else would want to take care of him, they’ll put Lennie in a cage and lock him up, like a wild animal and George he will feel the guilt if he lets that happen.
During this time in the New World the demand for food was incredibly high, and only the wealthy were the ones lucky enough to get a real meal each day (Kupperman). Times were extremely tough and being an indentured servant made things even harder. Obviously during this time the importance of food was very crucial to everyone but, as for the servants food was something that many of them could only dream of or even be lucky enough to receive. This hardship associated with food began on the journey to the New World from England when many servants died of starvation. Then it continued because

He treated Sam well and taught him the ropes when everyone else made fun of him as soon as he walked through the gym door. It showed me a lot about Tiny, and possibly that Tiny was Sam one day and was just retuning the favor. The authors writing style is very easy to follow and understanding, but at times he makes it intense when needed.

That is the strength of the book I think, not the simplicity but the way he makes you feel as though you are the writer.
In the movie Chavez said something that was basically like what kind of man can pick food all day but yet cannot pick food for his own family. Think about it that’s true Chavez is working hard all day in the sun while he can barely maintain his living style with low money, while the people who are bossing him around and don’t do anything get paid for what? For yelling at the farm workers what to do? Chavez just knew everything that him and the other farmworkers what they were doing and how they were being treated just wasn’t fair it wasn’t justice. Chavez made a huge impact for the working class.

He was the perfect example of social darwinism’s “survival of the fittest” (Lecture 5 Professor Cherron, Jan 21.). He went from rags to riches all by determination, self-motivation, and hard work. Andrew Carnegie understood worker’s rights and even went as far as to defend the union in some cases; however, his workers were not immune to unsafe or unfair working conditions. Working conditions were still extremely dangerous for them, there were many injuries, and the steel company released toxic waste, which led to many illnesses subsequently. The problem however, arises when steel prices by the ton drop.
