Watch Tv Make People

A man once said, "Television is candy for the
mind. " He was right. Making an analogy to candy
is ideal; either, if taken in excess can have a
negative affect on the human. At one point or
another you watched too much TV. And at one point
or another you ate too much candy. Maybe it was on
Halloween or Christmas... it doesn't matter. The
point is that both are a treat if taken in
moderation. The problem is, nowadays, too many

are eating too much ...

Of Mice And Men The Importance George
1,827 words
Even from the very start of John Steinbeck's
novel, Of Mice and Men, the uniqueness of George,

Lennie and himself. This lets the reader know from
a very early stage in the book that George is
different, and probably the essential character.

During the story, Lennie is surrounded by death.
However, in his childish perspective of the world
he misses out on the dark and permanent side of
death, the only impact it makes on his life is
that he is fearful of the repercussions on his
life and how George may not let him tend and take
care of rabbits. Such is the case when he
accidentally kills his baby puppy: "Why do you got
to get killed? You ain't so little as mice. Now I
won't get to tend the rabbits. Now he won't let
me" (Lennie, Page ...
