H/W Of Mice and Men Notes up to page 9 5.11.12 Page 3 – On this page I thought that John Steinbeck described the overall setting of the place. “A few miles south of Soledad‚ the Salinas River drops in close to the hillside bank and runs deep and green.” Straightaway Steinbeck sets the scene and puts us in place.

English/Sympathy January 18‚ 2012 In the play a Street Car Named Desire my feelings were never the same toward the characters.

Williams sets the mood with a description for the kitchen that is demoralising and forlorn‚ ‘The kitchen now suggests that sort of lurid nocturnal brilliance’. The description Williams gives for the poker players as “men at the peak of their physical manhood” highlights that the men in the scene are strong and well built which in the atmosphere created by the author can also serve to make them appear intimidating. Williams gives a pause for the play; ‘there is absorbed silence as a hand is dealt’

not mentioning her name‚ and by referring to her as a possession of Curley ‚however this also reflects to 1930’s America‚ when women weren’t given any importance and were treated with a huge amount of disrespect. They didn’t have much power over the men and were considered ‘useless’. Henceforth Steinbeck may have not given her a name as women were not considered important enough and she may not have deserved a name in this era.

hardly realistic; he thinks of nature as full of fluffy and cute playthings. He has no notion of the darkness in the natural world‚ the competition and the cruelty. He wouldn’t have the faintest notion how to feed himself without George. In this too the men balance each other: George sees the world through suspicious eyes. He sees only the darkness where Lennie sees only the light. George may complain about how burdensome it is to care for Lennie‚ but this complaint seems to ring hollow: in truth‚ George
