    Of Mice and Men

    Henri Frederic Amiel once stated, “Destiny has two ways of crushing us- by refusing our wishes and by fulfilling them.” In Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, this is very true for George and Lennie. The pair has moved from ranch to ranch trying to keep down a job but Lennie who easily gets in trouble always thwarts them. They long to live the American Dream but they, like all the other workers, will never reach their dream that seems to be just beyond their fingertips. George watches over Lennie as they travel together but he cannot stop the mess that Lennie will get into at the newest ranch. Steinbeck conveys through the symbolism of playing cards, light, and Lennie’s hands that we are destined to play the hand fate deals us even if our hopes and dreams are dashed in the process of our destiny.…

    Of Mice And Men

    Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is a novel that draws many emotions out of the reader. This story tells about two men, George and Lennie, who travel for work. Lennie is assumed, by readers, to be mentally disabled. He is not very smart, does not remember or understand many things and the other characters in the story comment on him being like a kid or childlike. George sacrifices continually through the entire story. He sacrifices not only the opportunity to have a better job but he also sacrifices himself. He shows his unconditional loyalty to Lennie even though it comes with a high price. The dialogue in this story allows the readers to make many assumptions about characters and setting. George and Lennie are portrayed in this story by…

    Of Mice And Men

    As one traverses through the journey of life, he becomes confronted with many obstacles. One such obstacle becomes apparant through the illusion that society has taught him that all men are created equal. However, there comes a day in every man's life where he is discriminated by his peers, and he learns the reality that all men are not created equal. It may be because of his behavior, or even just because he has a disability. His actions can cause an inconvenience to his peers, and to society as a whole. At times, the way he communicates can be frustrating to those who he deals with. In John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, the author portrays how people with disabilities have to learn how to blend into the society that mocks their differences. In his Of Mice and Men Steinbeck portrays characteristics of people with disabilities to be outcasts to society. Steinbeck conveys this theme by using symbolism, and parallelism. One example of parallelism is shown by this quote "I been around him so much I never notice how he stinks." Herndon 2 "Well I can't stand him in here," said Carlson. "That stink hangs around even after he's gone." Parallelism is shown between the Candy's dog and Lennie. People mock the dog's horrible stench, which is symbolic to people mocking Lennie being an idiot therefore the dog's death foreshadows Lennies death.…

    Of Mice and Men

    In the United States Criminal Justice System, there is a category of defenses that may excuse an individual who has committed a criminal offense of responsibility for their actions. Insanity is one of these defense excuses, and it claims that the state of mind of the individual in question at the time of the transgression was insufficient so much so that they are not accountable for their actions. One of the various tests used to determine the defendant’s state of mind is called the M’Naghten rule. This rule states that at the time of the offense, the defendant either did not know that what he was doing was wrong, or was unable to distinguish between right and wrong, due to mental incapacitation. In John Steinbeck’s novel, Of Mice and Men, one of the main characters, Lennie Small, clearly commits the physical act of murder. The question that remains is whether or not Lenny had the mental stability at the time of the crime to be held legally responsible for his action.…
