After that Lennie is killed, shattering all hopes and dreams George had, as well as ending a long term relationship. ‘why’n’t you shoot him, Candy?’, during the 1930’s America was going through ‘The Great Depression’ everything that people lived on were hopes and dreams because people had nothing else to keep them going but the determination to fulfill the American dream ; power, fame and fortune. The murder of the one dog created a domino effect which shattered dreams, took away lives and ended relationships. The death of the puppy could foreshadow the ending of Curley’s wife, ‘a little dead puppy that lay in front of him’, the puppy was small helpless and delicate as was she. Both could not manage the power of Lennie and both ended up on the hay dead and alone ‘Curley’s wife lay with a half covering of yellow hay.
These claims are founded from the passage in which Kay and Wart arrive home after rescuing captives from Morgan, a suspected fairy queen (102). Before they return, Morgan’s griffin attacks the boys and is then killed by Kay's arrow to its eye (113). Although dead, the momentum of the griffin’s body continues onto Wart until there is “a cruel weight on top of him”, leaving him with a broken collarbone (113). The next day the boys and the recovered prisoners come home (115). Kay's reaction to their reception provides me with insight into young boy's character.

Kabir writes that “we sense that there is some sort of spirit that loves/ birds and animals and the ants/ perhaps the same one who gave a radiance to you in/ your mother’s womb/ is it logical that you be walking around…” which presents emotion as a way of knowing truth (Bly
Abraham Lincoln’s death coincides with that of Jesus, on Good Friday, before Jesus’ resurrection on Easter. Whitman still had difficulty accepting that Lincoln was really gone, and so he vainly hoped that Lincoln would come back as Jesus had. Coming back to the point at hand, Lincoln is strongly represented by lilacs.

In addition, the purple color of lilacs is traditionally representative of nobility and mourning.

Later, after Mr White stops the sergeant from burning the monkey's paw, the sergeant warn Mr. White to “let it burn” (3). Mr White doesn't pick up on the warning the sergeant is giving which leads his family to destructive downfall.

If Dickinson were to use the symbol too much it would take away from the moment of focusing on death and cause people to think more about the fly.

The sense of hearing is the last one of the five senses a person will loose as the process of dieing comes to a closer, as in this poem. The idea
