Miles An Hour George And Lennie
762 words
The Great Depression is comparable to Lennie and
George's life. I would like to give a comparison
of George Milton and Lennie Small to the Great
Depression. The time that this story took place
was during the Great Depression. John Steinbeck
captured the reality of this most difficult time.
During the Great Depression people needed to
travel together to share chores and duties to make
a living until something better came along. That
is the way George and Lennie traveled. They
traveled together to...

Steinbeck is fate. The techniques he uses such as
the title, repetition, echoes and symbolism are
very successful in putting across his very
pessimistic views on this theme. The two main
characters, George and Lennie, share a dream.
George dreams of a piece of land of his own.
Independence. A couple of acres, a cow and some
pigs. Lennie dreams of tending rabbits. With the

Mice And Men Curly Wife

My mother is dead, my father is dead, my sister is
dead, and now I am going to kill myself. When
reading that list is becomes obvious after the
first couple of deaths that there are more to
follow. In John Steinbeck's masterpiece Of Mice
and Men, the use of deaths as a motif, or a
reoccurring theme, is just the opposite. As we
begin our journey with George, small and quick,
dark of face, (2) and Lennie, a huge man,
shapeless of face, (2), we experience the death of
a mouse that Lennie carries in...

Forced To Live Mice And Men
1,382 words
Loneliness is a state of being alone in sadness,
resulting from being forsaken or abandoned. As I
understand it, loneliness is when a person has no
one to talk to, no one to confide in, nor anyone
to keep companionship with. Loneliness also makes
a person slip into a desolate state, which they
try to conceal under a tough image, and is an
emotion even the strongest cannot avoid. In his
novel, Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck deals with
loneliness by looking for comfort in a friend, but
settling f...

Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck At first glance,
Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is a tale of two
best friends traveling the countryside looking for
work. This would seem like the norm for lower
class people trying to survive in the rat race of
society. Yet, the story isn? t merely George and
Lennie? s search for jobs. Rather, it is about
their all out quest for the American Dream, the
dream of owning their own stake of land and ending
their subservience to their bosses. In order for
this to...

Reaction to Of Mice and Men The book that I have
read that has really stayed with me is Of Mice and
Men by John Steinbeck. I really enjoyed reading it
which is unusual because I usually dont enjoy
reading to much. There was something about George

Seeing how they were and how they shared life was
really intresting. George didnt have to bother
with Lennie, he could have abandoned him and gone
on his own way. But he did not do that, he stayed

The episode I am going to use to show how tension
is created in OF Mice and Men is when Curley has a
fight with Lennie. This section starts near the
end of chapter three. It is obvious that somewhere
within Of Mice and Men Lennie is going to have a
confrontation with Curley because of the clues
earlier in the book. For example when Lennie and
George first meet Curley he is some what
unwelcoming and confrontational, He glanced coldly
at George and then at Lennie. His arms gradually
