Lennie and george have been traveling together ever since lennie's aunt clara died, she asked george to watch after lennie because he's not that intelligent and he gets himself into quite a lot of trouble on his own.…
Other than trust, accepting each other is a key role in their friendship. George accepts Lennie with his mental disability which is why they have a strong friendship. Lennie is extremely strong so when fighting Curley, George sticks up for Lennie, “‘Get him, Lennie. Don’t let him do it’” (Steinbeck 63). Since Lennie is extremely strong, George knows that he should let Lennie stick up for himself and not allow Curley to make him feel weak and inferior to the rest. George also accepts the fact that Lennie cannot remember tons of information that he has been told, “‘I’ll tell ya again. I ain’t got nothing better to do. Might jus’ as well spen’ all my time tellin’ you things and then you forget ‘em, and I tell you again’” (Steinbeck 4). This shows…
The relationship between george and lennie had their ups and downs, Lennie’s problems would always seem to get them in trouble. Lennie wasn’t the smartest in the world so he often needed help with his…
George does not want Lennie to go to town with them because George doesn’t want Lennie to see how the world really is; similar to a parent doesn’t tell a child what terrible things happen in the world. Also, alike what a parent might do with a child is that George tells Lennie to go hide when he gets in trouble. This shows that Lennie acts like a child because he does not confront the problem. He solely listens to what George told him to. “Well look. Lennie-if you jus’ happen to get in trouble like you always done before, I want you to come right here an’ hide in the brush.” (Steinbeck 15) George says this multiple times to Lennie just so he can remember what to do if he gets in trouble. George believes that if Lennie hides somewhere he will be safer than if he just keeps running away from the problem. George treats Lennie like a child because; also, he doesn’t let him do certain things such as leave the farm. He does not want Lennie to see how the world actually is Lennie does not confront his problems, he hides in the bushes like a child does.…
But when he gets there he does something wrong again resulting in them having to run yet again. Proving that George could not keep letting Lennie do this to the world without consequence to what he had done, though Lennie could try to teach him to help him he knew he would forget what he…
Even though Lennie doesn't always obey George, he is willing to give up what he wants to do in order for George and him to stay together. Lennie does this because he truly cares about George.…
“Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming.” or so Dory says. Dory is a royal blue tang fish from the movie Finding Nemo. Dory suffers from short term memory loss. Finding Nemo came out in 2003 and takes people into the deep blue sea. Memory is something that people take for granted. At least, until their memory starts to fade. Memory is an important factor in everyday life people have to remember to turn a stove off. Finding Nemo, Brenda Milner, and a couple of articles will help explain anterograde amnesia.…
" "˜I turns to Lennie and says, "˜Jump in.' An' he jumps. Couldn't swim a stroke. He damn near drowned before we could get him.' " (p. 44) Not only is Lennie unable to understand the meaning of importance, he has no memory of important assertions if they do not directly pertain to rabbits. He cannot even remember his Aunt Clara, who took him in as a baby, and he lived with until she passed away. In order for Lennie to conceptualize and remember ideas or instructions, he must repeatedly recite them to George; even this ritual will not insure a recollection of the information. Although Lennie's poor memory is a severe problem, his ultimate drawback, is his unacceptable behavior. Although unintentional, Lennie causes harm, and…
Lennie was born with a disability that causes mental retardation, because of this he doesn´t always know right from wrong and acts like a kid. He shows this when he gets upset at George for taking away his dead mouse that he hid in his pocket. George tells him that he can say a word when they get to the ranch that they are going to work at, if he does then they might not be hired because of Lennie's impairment. George says to Lennie, ¨If he finds out what a crazy bastard you are, we won´t get no job, but if he sees ya work before he hears ya talk, we're set¨ (6). This tells us that…
In the beginning of the story, George escaped with Lennie from Weed to prevent Lennie from getting lynched. George did absolutely nothing, he had nothing to hide from. Also George warned Lennie about Curley, he told him that he has seen people like that before and demanded Lennie to stay away from Curley (Steinbeck 29). In addition, in order to make sure Lennie got the job, George talked for him (Steinbeck 21). George is like a parent to Lennie, from the beginning we see how he told Lennie that the water he was drinking from didn’t seem potable. He told Lennie to throw the mice away, not to be mean but because it was already dead, it wasn’t fresh. Lennie acted acted like a child and George acted like a parent, he said and did stuff similar to what a parent would. He did all that because he cared for…
Dear Diary, I’m getting lonely without a normal buddie. I’m stuck with this retard Lennie, and just want someone to hang with that I don’t have to watch over like a kid. It would be great to have someone that would go to the cat house and get drinks with me once a month. But then on the other hand I have Lennie. I can’t just leave him, he can’t survive on his own. If he doesn't starve to death he will either be locked up somewhere or eaten alive by some animal. Its too much pressure for me. I wish I hadn't taken responsibility for this guy. My life would be at easy living on my own. It’s sad because he's not a bad guy, just no one understands what's going threw the poor guys head. I like the guy he's not bad just he's a little annoying and…

However the opening of the novella displays a bond of friendship and mutual understanding shown by George and lennie. Steinbeck writes “he pulled his hat down a little more over his eyes the way George’s hat was.” Our immediate interpretation is that Lennie looks up to George as a role model, the quote “way George’s hat was” infers that Lennie looks up to George as someone who can guide him and teach him much like a younger brother’s attitude would be towards an older sibling. Steinbeck writes “Lennie looked timidly over to him. “George?” “Yeah, what ya want?” “Where we goin’ George?”… “So you forgot that already did you?”” this implies that without George, Lennie would be hopeless and would get no where because he would always be lost. When Lennie says “where we goin’” he sounds slightly worried, this will be because he knows that George will get angry at him because he is constantly having to remind him on the objective. The word “already” suggests that Lennie is always forgetting things and George is getting more and more fed up. The adverb…
Wearing only has moment –to-moment consciousness because he has not only retrograde amnesia but also anterograde amnesia, Wearing can still remember how to play the piano and conduct a choir, but he has no memories of receiving an education in music. Wearing can play the piano but once he stops he has not memory that he played and starts to shake intermittently. This shaking is a physical sign of the lack of ability to control his emotions. According to Medlibrary (2002) “Wearing’s brain is still trying to fire information in the form of action potentials to neurostructures that no longer exist” (p. 1.). “The resulting encephalic electrical disturbance leads to fits”…
Alzheimer’s is a horrible experience for everyone: the diagnosed person and the family members now turned caregivers. For the latter of these some have described it as worse than being the one who has the incurable disease. This is because the person with Alzheimer’s forgets and does not know what they are doing, that they are changing, whereas the family experiences the slow excruciating pain of seeing a loved one go through this disease and knowing that there is nothing you can do to restore what they once were. While watching The Forgetting: A Portrait of Alzheimer’s I witnessed many families and their experiences with Alzheimer's. The most heart wrenching scenes were where the family caregivers said things like ‘I hate him sometimes……
