perhaps even on the belief of “survival of the fittest”-social darwinism. Candy’s dog and Lennie are two characters that do so perhaps the most significantly‚ although in the case of Candy’s dog it is slightly less obvious as he’s not given much of a personality. Upon digging deeper into these two characters‚ you will find that they share similarities despite one of them being human and the other a dog. Both Lennie and Candy’s dog are seen as weak and useless. This is especially true for Candy’s dog-nobody

Book Analysis East of Eden By Jon Steinbeck This unforgettable novel‚ East of Eden‚ was incredible for its time and without a doubt is Steinbeck’s most memorable and philosophically poetic classic.

Steinbeck illustrates how Cal’s external locus of control motivates him to rely and conform to the expectations and actions of individuals he has idolized. Cal places the ultimate idolization on his father; he believes his father’s love is the greatest trophy in life. All of Cal’s actions revolve around his father’s acceptance‚ rather than his own desires. Cal is imprisoned by his father’s expectations and therefore cannot advocate or act for his furtherance.
