    How Does Steinbeck Present Curley's Wife in of Mice and Men

    Her relationship with others isn’t very positive at all. She approaches the men at the ranch under the pretext of looking for her husband, “Any you boys seen Curley?”, although it is apparent that she just wants to flirt with them. These men call her “rattrap” and “jail bait”, though this turns out to be true as Lennie is lured by her. They also call her a “God damn tramp”; the men are disgusted by her using her sexuality to get attention. It’s mainly Candy who calls her these things, for example, “tart” this word suggests that she presents herself in a flamboyant manner. No one seems to care about her, not even Curley – when he finds his wife dead, he decides to kill Lennie instead of staying with her. “I’m gonna kill that big son of a bitch. I’ll shoot him in the guts. Come on you guys.” - I got the impression that he sounded almost excited when he said…

    Raymond's Run Short Story

    At the start of “Raymond’s Run” we all notice just how protective Squeaky is. Part of that is because she has a tough life and takes care of her disabled brother Raymond. Squeaky doesn’t want to ta with you she’d “Much rather knock you down and take my chances.” Squeaky will fight you if you ask for it. Squeaky loves running, but she doesn’t settle for good- only the best- and only the first place medal.

    How Does Miss Maudie Show Courage

    Nelson Mandela once said “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” Harper Lee, the author of To Kill a Mockingbird, uses characters to display courage many times throughout the novel. It's about a white father defending a black man in the racist town of Macomb, Alabama, in the 1930's. I found a few examples of courage for each character that stood out to me most. Atticus, Scout, and Boo Radley. First, a brave, hardworking, single parent, Atticus Finch. He first shows courage when he shoots a mad dog to protect his family when he hasn't touched a gun in over thirty years. Another character in the story, Miss Maudie, explains “I guess he put down his gun when he reilized god gave him an unfair advantage over most living things...” Another courages thing Atticus does, is standing up for…
