Fear Of Being Alone In John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

Have you ever felt alone and or no one to talk to or even to relate to you? Well, I know a book that does. Named Of Mice and Men written by John Steinbeck. I will give you some background info before I get into telling you more about it. The setting of this book takes place in California during the late 1900’s where people were still finding themselves. In Mice and Men the story mainly is surrounded in Crooks room, the barn and the bunkhouse. Specially, this book focus around Lennie and George and their friendship while traveling thought the book. This book gives a significant multinational theme that everyone should learn from this book which is that the fear of being alone and isolating yourself keeps you from making friendships. Which this

This is proven by Lennie and George when they are having a conversation about their friendship were George said “Whatever we ain't got, that's what you want.

Which connects to my claim that we would rather not be friends with something that we do not know just to stay in our

The opposition counterclaim might be that every friendship isn't meant to last and that doesn't mean you afraid of making friends or isolating yourself to that you and the other person just don't see eye to eye on things which is why you don't make the friendship. One of my logic to why I suspect that they would believe that is because they could see the side that people don't make certain friendships because they don't have the same view on life or agree on what life should be. I believe that this claim would be erroneous because people don't make friendships because they are in fear of what it could turn out to be so they isolation themselves so they cant even make friendships. Given these points, I presume the opposition claims would be false and not valid. Some of the main reasons we don’t make friends because we are scared of what it could turn out to
