Roadside Attraction: Candy is going to be important So as I was obsessively looking over all the Roadside Attraction trailers, I noticed that Candy kept sticking out and I think that she’s going to be important in this episode. For example, in the first teaser ever shown for RA we see a clip of the spider monster (aka Darlene) attacking the sky tram that the gang is riding. In this clip Dipper yells “Candy wait don’t pull that lever” and Candy can be heard counting down from three before she pulls it. The second time I watched this trailer it stuck out at me how pissed off Candy was before pulling the lever and even after pulling the lever she’s still really angry not to mention she’s placed in the middle of the shot which means she’s the character we are suppose to primarily focus on in this scene. …show more content…
Typically in the show, Mabel and Dipper are the ones to go off and solve the mystery together but what if in this episode it’s Dipper and Candy? Like, usually when running away/to something or just in general Dipper and Mabel are placed next to each other, but in this episode Candy is the one by Dipper’s side in the scenes we’ve been shown. Here it looks like they’re all running to go save Grunkle Stan or something, and Candy and Dipper are leading the group instead of Mabel and Dipper Similarly here, Candy and Dipper are at the front and Mabel is not running next to her brother like in most other
Candy’s dog. This is a sign of Carlson not knowing what it feels having someone besides
In Of Mice and Men the character Candy is an old ranch worker. Candy has been working on otheres farms for years, while working on one of these farms he lost one of his hands in a farm accident. Candy was seen as a outcast to the other rach hands just like Lennie, Crooks and Curly's wife. The reasons they are seen as outcast is different and is what seperated them into different groups in American Society that they can relate to.
Candy didn't have anything so he wanted grow old on the ranch with George and Lennie (pg59-60) but then Lennie kills Curly's Wife and his dream dies (pg.94). Candy's dreams end in a pessimistic outlook because all he wanted got destroyed leaving him with nothing. Crooks dream was to be respected and not looked at for his color and wanted to live on the ranch with Curly Lennie and George (pg.64). Even though he wanted this he noticed by what Curly's wife said to him that his dream will never be achieved, so he changes his mind (pg.
Candy is old and physically disabled. He is given the job of a swamp and is responsible for sweeping and mopping the bunkhouse. His dignity is dispossessed because he does not have a regular job like the others on the
While there, Henry hears noises coming from the Williams’ Ranch, and suspects that there is a party being held there. Henry and Della decide to go to the ranch, which was just harassed by the Downey Gang.
Steinbeck expresses the theme of loneliness in the character of Candy. Candy is lonely because his is missing half an arm. Candy?s disability separates him from society, an example of Curley being set aside is when everybody else goes to town he is left in the barn with Crooks, Lennie, and Curley?s wife. Candy?s only friendship was with his old, smelly dog. Candy?s dog was a symbol of himself (old, and useless). When Carlson kills Candy?s dog he kills Candy on the inside as well.
He is fond of his dog even though it is old and smelly. Candy had that
Candy dealt with his loneliness by being friendly with George and Lennie and becoming a partner in obtaining the small ranch that was George and Lennie’s dream. Candy kind of an outcast because of his age difference from other ranch hands. “I could cook and tend the chickens and hoe the garden some”(Candy 319). Candy attempts to be useful in someone else life. He heard that George and Lennie have this dream to “live off the fat of the land” as soon as they get enough money. Candy wanted to join, he offered as much as he can. He wanted to join the dream but not only did he want to join, he wanted to join the friendship of George and Lennie. “Maybe I can give you guys money”(Candy 325). Candy offered his money that he gets from the government for his disability. An exchange for money Candy gets a friendship out of it. So he is paying George and Lennie to be friends with him really. I think money will never buy a real friendship. Not only was Candy lonely and miserable trying to deal with loneliness, but so was Crooks...
aiding others in their power struggle. Candy is only seen for his age, which is a sign of
The central element of this novella is its symbolism. This novella has plenty of symbolical forms, such as people, creed, and some of the animals. Candy has several terms of symbolism, for example his disability is a symbol of the migrant workers who are just literally forgotten about, they are forgotten when they are no use to the owners. Candy’s dog is a symbol of a life only for advantage to others Lennie also for shadows this, he is belittled of his mind but enormously commented for his strength. Also he is compelled to lie about the fight he had with Curley, this is a symbol of typical male society in the, “Depression era”.

...deal with them that together, they could “get a big stake” (63) in order to buy a “little place an’ live on the fatta the lan’” (63). Candy says he would “cook and tend the chickens and hoe the garden some” (67). However, after Lennie accidently kills Curley’s wife, Candy in “his greatest fear” (107) asks George if they could still “get that little place” (107). But he knew it was no, and right at that moment his American Dream comes to an end. Therefore if Candy would be all by him following his American Dream without depending on George and Lennie, he would have been successful.
After Candy enters Crooks’ room, Curley’s wife enters the room also and tries to hold a conversation with
George and Lennie have to continue to move around the country looking for work until Lennie screws up again. The instability of work only makes it that much harder for them to complete their dream of a farm of their own. Candy’s participation in the dream of the farm upgrades the dream into a possible reality. As the tending of rabbits comes closer to happening fate curses them with the accidental death of Curley’s wife. The end of their wishful thinking is summed up by Candy’s question on page 104, “Then-it’s all off?”
