However, in the movie, this scene never took place. This difference drastically altered my opinion of Curley's wife.…

    This quotation allows the reader to see that, while being poor might have been quiet difficult, being lonely was a worse situation to be stuck in. Steinbeck seemed say, that Lennie and George’s case was different than most; they both had someone who genuinely cared for them, who looked after them, and someone to talk to when needed the most. It was easier to handle being a ranch-hand when there was someone always there to help you out. They were a small family, but a family nonetheless. This quote allows the reader to see how lucky they felt to have each other.…

    In both Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck and Ain’t I A Woman by Sojourner Truth, the authors use literary devices to show how women are often objectified in society. Sojourner Truth not only speaks to the objectivity of women, but especially women of color. Both authors show that women are thought to be weak. Dating back earlier than the Great Depression, you can see that women, especially those of color, were often seen as second class citizens.…

    [Candy] said miserably, "You seen what they done to my dog tonight? They says he wasn't no good to himself nor nobody else”(Steinbeck 60). Candy is introduced in the start of chapter two, he is described indirectly by the narrator as a “Stoop shouldered old man”(Steinbeck 18). He is said to have a round stump on his right arm, but no hand. His dog enters later in chapter two, whom is described as a “dragfooted sheepdog, gray of a muzzle, and with pale, old eyes”(Steinbeck 26). Through these characters, Steinbeck helps the reader understand the stereotype of the uselessness of the elderly and disabled. Along with this, Candy and his dog create a parallel with George and Lennie.…

    The Salinas River stood stock-still, and the Gabilan Mountains were almost invisible, as they were sheathed by layers of fog. Songbirds did not chirp to their melodies, plants did not sway in the wind, and rabbits did not split from their burrows. Pondering the massive punishment he would receive for the crimes he had just committed, Lennie rushed through the foggy forest to the thick brush, where George would hopefully rendezvous. However, Lennie was oblivious of who or what was after him.…

    If something good happened to you and you were acting happy in public, how would other people see and interpret your emotions? People's’ reactions really highlight the human condition and give us new views on it. A book that really displays this is the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. A theme that I found to identify and shape the human condition is: Throughout Steinbeck’s story, Of Mice and Men, he pushes to show that we humans and our different perspectives shape how we treat certain people, whether with kindness and empathy, dislike and loathing, or even confusion and ignorance. This theme is shown multiple times throughout the story, with different perspectives conflicting the most notable time being after George shoots Lennie and Carlson doesn’t know why George is distraught.…
