Character sketch of Harris –

Harris is a vain fellow who pretends to be extremely hard working but usually pushes off the burden on other people. he is outspoken and does not hesitate to tell his friends what he thinks about them even if it may not be pleasant. for example he outwardly tells george that his new blazer is utterly revolting and that he must not wear it around them (harris and j). when harris takes on a job he makes a huge fuss out of it like the narator;s uncle podger. it may not be anything majorly important but if harris is going to do it .... the world would know about it. he also thinks very highly of himself and his voice though his friends do not want him to even attempt singing. he is extremely fascinated by tombs and graveyards much to j 's dislike. he is also quite short tempered and it is best to let him rant off his anger rather than try and talk to him about it.he wouldn 't mind a drink at any time of the day and enjoys the company of his friends .

    Timothy Beaulieu Ms. Messier English 10H 2/27/13 George the Murderer As George’s lawyer, Timothy Beaulieu, I will be defending my litigant George Milton in this murder trial. George Milton was charged with premeditated murder for killing Lennie Small. One might find it alarming that George killed his best friend, Lennie, after all their aforementioned adventures together. Another might find it eccentric that Curley’s wife was killed and then Lennie gets killed shortly after. Accusations one after another by Curly himself has led up to George being charged with premeditated murder. Curly can not say that George has been planning this murder for a long time because of how random Curley’s wife’s death was. I do feel sympathetic towards Curly because of his loss; however, I am positive that he does not have the answers to why George decided to kill Lennie. George’s decision to kill Lennie is justified because if Curly and the mob got a hold of Lennie, they would have hurt Lennie and they would have possibly tortured him as well. George’s decision to kill Lennie is also substantiated because George wanted the best for everybody, plus he wanted Lennie to understand the beauty of owning a farm and farm animals. Curly would have hurt Lennie really bad, or he would have put him in a cage and kept him locked up. “I’m gonna shoot the guts outta that big bastard myself, even if I only got one hand” (Steinbeck 98). George said that Curly is known for confrontations, his mean­spirited personality, and…

    I’d like to analyze the text, which is entitled “The happy man”. The author is William Somerset Maugham, an English writer. He wrote novels, short stories and plays and most of them had a great commercial success. He is known to have explored many professions including doctor, spy, and playwright.

The genre of the story is narration.…
