Of Mice and Men [human preadtor]

In this short essay I’m going to talk about how a lot of the main characters turned out to be human predators. The characters I’m going to talk about are Crooks, Curley and Curley’s wife. A predator is one that victimizes, plunders, or destroys, especially for one’s own gain.

The first person I would like to talk about it Crooks. Crooks is the only African American in the novel, His job was to take care of the horses. In the novel Of Mice and Men crooks was a human predator one particular time. In the novel George left Lennie alone to go out. While George was out Lennie decided to go up to Crooks room. When Lennie came in Crooks got mad and told him to leave. Crooks sounded very mad he said I’m not allowed to be in your room so you got to get out. Lennie then responded and Crooks found out that Lennie was slow. He then turned into a human predator. He started to tell him how George would leave him or he would get hurt. Lennie got real sad and started to cry. That part of the novel showed how Crooks was a predator. He victimized Lennie because he could. Crooks did this because he felt bad and it was easy to break Lennie down so he did.

Another character in this book that was a human predator was Curly. Curly was not self confident, he felt as though he had to show how powerful he was because he is shorter then the others. One of the main people Curly victimized was his wife. I think that Curly bossed his wife around because he wanted to show everybody that he ran his or her relationship. Curly also was very rude to Linnie, because Linnie was bigger then him and he wanted to show the other how brave and strong he was. After Curly found out that Linnie was slow he picked on him even more. In the novel Curly started to fight Linnie because he thought that he could make a fool of Lennie. It turned out that Lennie made a fool of him because he was stronger and crushed his hand.

The final human predator was Curly’s wife. She used her looks to victimize the other male workers. The main person that she victimized was Linnie. She tried to talk to him more then the other because she knew she could make him talk to her. In the novel would do little things to male linnie want to talk to her, she would pull on her dress and more. Another thing that she did to make linnie talk to her was open up to him and talk to him about stuff he would want to talk about.

In collusion I think that the author was trying to get across was that people could also be a predator. People are supposed to stick together but instead they find each other’s weakness and try to break the other person down. Only thinking about there selves.

Of Mice and Men [Symbolize] {GRADE THIS}

In this short essay I would like to talk about the book Of Mice and Men. This book has a lot of meaning to it, if you think about what’s going on in the book. The main thing I would like to talk about is Lennie’s puppy. I know you might be thinking that’s a corny essay. But that’s my point, to show you how the puppy symbolizes so much more. The puppy symbolizes new beginnings and dreams.

I would like to start talking about how a little puppy can symbolize so much more. Lennie’s puppy symbolizes new beginnings. By that I mean a clean slate, the person will be able to start over and change everything and forget about the past. When people think of new beginning they might think their new beginning is moving, getting a new home and more. The puppy in this book shows Lennie’s new beginning. It shows the new beginnings because Lennie is at a new place and he gets a new dog. Lennie enjoys spending time with the new puppy. The puppy shows that lennie can change now. He has a new life to start, just like the puppy. The new beginning in this book is the farm that Lennie , George and Candy would like to own. Were they could share home together and “live off the fat of the land.” Where they don’t have to worry about people canning them, because they own there own farm.

The final thing I would like to talk about it how the puppy symbolizes dreams. A dream is a very powerful thing that anyone can have, a dream is what keeps a person moving every day. In the novel Of Mice of Men the main dream that every body wants is to be able to live independently.

In conclusion, I think that the novel Of Mice of Men was a really good book. This book showed me that every thing you read symbolizes something, if you really think about it. So I hope my short essay helps you notice how much meaning this book really has, and makes you want to read the novel again to get the full effect of how well written this book is.

Service Learning

For the next service learning I know that I am going to have to read over the surveys that the 9th and 10th graders gave back to us. Which is about our service learning and there ideas so we know what they wold be willing to do and would they e willing to go. I think this class is going to be easy because it should not take that long to count the surveys and stuff.

service learning

Today for service learning I had a lot of thing I had to get done.Like I said there was a lot of running around that had to be done. I had to pass around the new surveys to each teacher and student. Thats really all I did. I had went to each class and told him about my service learning and they had to full out the sheet and then I went back to my service learning group and we talked about the papers that we got and what we need to do for the next service learning.Which would be count up the surveys.

Servive learning

Day 4 I think is going to be another very important day. Now every body has jobs that they need to do.I also know that we are going to be doing a lot of running around because we already have the paper typed up that we are giving to the teachers and studeants so all we need to do is print enought out and hand them out. But we need to get all the papers back because there's questions on their that needs to be answered. So we know how every one feels about our service learning since they are going to be invloved.

Servive learning

Day 3 of service I knew it was going to be the most important service learning day because we did a lot of things on the last service learning. I actually hsd some form of homework to do. I had to go home and type up the paeper that we were talking about during the class. So I knew that that this class was gping to be a lot about fixing the paper and making sure it was good enough to hand out to students and teachers.

Servive learning

Day 2 of service learnrig I was thinking that it was going to be so hard because we kinda did some work but it was not all that yet. I thought that we were going to talk about weather we was going to teach at a middle school in the neighborhood or teach 9th and 10th graders in our school because that issue came up in the first servive learning. So I thought that this service learnig was going to be kinda harder because we actually had questions that needed to be talked about and answered.
