pain, For promised joy!” Robert Burn’s quote makes us believe that even the best laid out plans for joy often go wrong and brings us grief and pain. George and Lennie’s plan was for a better future. The future where they didn’t take commands from someone; where they took care of themselves. As George and Lennie keep talking about the farm and more people joining in on the plan, it looks like it might happen. But with the foreshadowing through this quote: “Look, Lennie. I want you to look around here
George's dream. One of the characters is Curley's wife. In the beginning of the book, Curley’s wife slowly evolves as a threat to both Lennie and George. She flirts with men on the farm trying to gain attention thinking it will get her respect and a better life. Men in Curley's wife’s life doubt her and look at her differently. When George and Lennie first arrived at the farm, Candy was talking behind Curley’s back. He says, "Wait'll you see Curley's wife” (28). Candy underestimates Curley’s wife
the lan” (Steinbeck 14). In the relation of their dream, they are motivating themselves & others on the farm. What keeps them George & Lennie motivated into the dreams they want to accomplish is what makes them have belief in themselves. One reason that George & Lennie motivated is the fact that George telling Lennie he can have rabbits on the farm while George wants to live a better life than they have right now when he tells him, “I remember about the rabbits, George. The hell with the rabbits.

A clear difference between the relationships of Romeo and Juliet ,and George and Lennie the amount of key components they have to make their relationship strong.

Drew's actions would be considered social loafing, "... the tendency for people to work less hard when in groups than when alone...", he would have work less when he is with his team because he believe he was better than everyone else (Hunt and Heyman 118). Another example of someone being disliked would be John because of his past and how he treated others. John was a professional baseball player who has a history of making racist and homophobic comments. This
first by a man named Dolphus Raymond, then by two women Mrs. Merriweather and Miss Gates. In Maycomb County Dolphus Raymond is known as the guy with a lot of money who’s always drunk, and drinking from his brown paper bag. People always assume that he keeps whiskey in the bag, but what Dill finds out is that it’s actually Coca cola, and he wants people to think it’s alcohol. Dill confronts Dolphus and asks him why he makes it look as if he’s always drunk, and Dolphus replies, “Some folks don’t like the
Christine: You just going to walk away from me? Cameron! Cameron: Just go home. Author and scholar of gender studies, Deborah Tannen explains that the way men and women use language differently is a cross-cultural experience, and the above referenced conversation between Cameron and Christine reflects this phenomenon. There are significant cultural difference between men and women and how they communicate. First, the couple in the film are having a private talk, and the audience should recognize
a friendship with them. The difference between appearance and reality comes into affect. First, Mr. Radley tells Jem and Scout that he cemented the tree because it was sick when it was not. Secondly, Jem realized that Mr. Radley had lied just to keep Boo from having any friends from the outside world. Harper Lee uses irony when Aunt Alexandra hosts the missionary circle. The ladies that attended Aunt Alexandra's missionary circle acted as hypocrites. She says, '...I made a pledge in my heart

In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee uses Maycomb to represent how communities are disjointed when separated by race, gender, and class. Race had been a big issue in the book and still influences many factors today. Race separates people and makes the town unconnected. When Atticus had been appointed to defend Tom, he does his best to make sure that justice prevails. Even knowing what the towns thoughts were on blacks, he still decided to not give up. Through taking on the case he shows his children
represents maturity. “ ‘Why couldn’t I mash him?’”, Scout questions, “ ‘Because they don’t bother you’ Jem answered,” (TKAM 320). Here, Jem is not allowing Scout to hurt something that does not hurt her. He believes that if something makes the world better, then why would you harm it. Again this is portraying his growing emotionally and mentally. Finally, the cemented knothole represents the maturity of Jem Finch. “Someone had filled our knot-hole with cement.” Scout explains, “ ‘Don’t you cry, now
Poverty is What You Make It Poverty can be a terrible thing. It can shape who you are for better or for worse. Although it may seem awful while you experience it, poverty is never permanent. In Harper Lee’s novel To Kill a Mockingbird, which takes place in Alabama in the middle of the Great Depression, Walter Cunningham and Burris Ewell are both in a similar economic state. Both of their families have very little money; however, they way they manage handle themselves is very different. In this essay

is demonstrated quite often. This imbalance of power among the relationships between men and women is shown a lot throughout the book. One of these instances was when Janie was talking to her husband Joe, who was with his friend, and he said, “‘You gettin’ too moufy, Janie,’ Starks told her. ‘Go fetch me de checker-board and de checkers’” (p. 71). Janie was simply saying something to Joe, but he had no interest in what she was saying. He told her she was talking too much and then gave her an order
trying to maintain hope in himself and his town. Not only is Maycomb racially discriminated, but it is also discriminated based off of gender. Jem says, "‘Scout, I'm tellin' you for the last time, shut your trap or go home—I declare to the Lord you're gettin' more like a girl every day!’ With that, I had no option but to join
