Mice And Men Aunt Clara
1,153 words... Lennie makes the mistake, which leads to his death. He strokes the hair of Curley's wife, at her invitation, but does it too roughly; she panics and tries to cry out, and Lennie shakes her violently, breaking her neck.

Mice And Men Curley Wife
629 wordsLoneliness in Of Mice And Men In John Steinbeck s Of Mice And Men loneliness runs alongside friendship as a major theme. Although ranch life in the 1930 s America is lonely for migrant workers and many other people, George and Lennie, two of the loneliest guys in the world (13), at least have each other. For African-Americans like Crooks, women like Curley s wife, or the old like Candy, life is far more lonely. The person who expresses his loneliness most openly and deeply is Crooks the African-...

By contrast, mythic representations of the Old West tend to look absurd and silly. Stories such as the one portrayed in the film True Grit appear to be ridiculous because of their one-dimensional presentation of characters, including women; their passive, utopian environments; and the...

Men In The Bunkhouse Stable Buck Crooks
308 wordsI believe that every character in this book is lonely in their own way and has certain needs that they will inevitably never fulfil. I also feel that Crooks is the loneliest character in the book, this is because of the extremely racist and volatile environment on the ranch. He is not allowed to sleep with the other men in the bunkhouse: Crooks, the negro stable buck, had his bunk in the harness room that leaned off the wall of the barn. Crooks is never allowed to eat with the other men nor is h...
