    George Barton's Death

    • 984 Words
    • 4 Pages

    For me, it was surprising to find out George was a prankster who liked to mess around with people. In the story he was always portrayed as a loner with no friends, but he was actually someone who was fun to be around. I wonder what made him change to not wanting anyone in his life. For example, in the book it talks about how Higginbotham would try calling him and sending letters, but none of those things worked to get George to speak to him (290). Even though it never states why George drifted apart from his friends, we were told George was a hoarder. Maybe he was too embarrassed of people figuring it out, which caused him to push people away. Whatever the case was, people in his past life “found him difficult to crack open” (Kleinfield 288). Even Frank, who was George’s friend for fifteen years, didn’t really know…

    Biff Loman: Tragic Hero

    • 900 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Biff, though not perfect, can very much be considered noble. As a young man, he was full of potential. He was a star football captain whom everyone loved. An example of that is when happy says, “There’s a crowd of girls behind him everytime the classes change” (Miller 20). Biff was meant for greatness, and no one knew this more than his father Willy. When told that a teacher might flunk Biff, he couldn’t believe it. He angrily asks Bernard, “what’re you talking about? With scholarships to three universities they’re gonna flunk him” (Miller 21). It was also very easy to see how much Biff adored his father when he was younger. When his father asked him if he was nervous about the upcoming game he replied, “Not if you’re gonna be there” (Miller 20). Biff had a bright future ahead of him. It wasn’t until after that very football game did his life start to change for the worse. After flunking math and finding out his father was unfaithful to his mother, he was never the same.…

    George is called a “smart little guy” by Slim, but corrects this view (as he also corrects the idea that Lennie is a “cuckoo”: that is, a lunatic - Lennie is quite sane; his weakness is a lack of intelligence). George's modesty is not false - he is bright enough to know that he isn't especially intelligent. If he were smart, he says, “I wouldn't be buckin' barley for my fifty and found” (=$US 50 per month, with free board and lodging). George is not stupid, but there is no real opportunity for self-advancement, as might be achieved in the west today by education. He is, in a simple way, imaginative: his picture of the small-holding (small farm) he and Lennie will one day own, is clearly-drawn and vivid, while some of the phrases have a near-poetic quality in their simplicity, as when he begins: “Guys like us...are the loneliest guys in the…

    What will life in 2050 or 2070 be like? Will it be any similar to the one that we are living, or will there be dramatic changes in technology which will potentially take over all of our lives? It is difficult to predict future- despite the so-called assertions that few people can predict what will happen next. For some people, thinking about the future is an exciting thing to do, as they think the future is bound to become brighter and easier for humans, due to the increasing development in the technologies used. But for most of us, thinking about the future is a broad topic that sends a shiver of uncertainty through our bodies.…
