two companions‚ George Milton and Lennie Small. George Milton is a farmworker who is "small and quick‚ dark of face‚ with restless eyes and sharp‚ strong features … [with] small‚ strong hands‚ slender arms‚ and thin and bony nose" (Steinbeck 1). And Lennie Small well Lennie is a strong child like character‚ Lennie has the looks of a man but the mentality of a child. Throughout the novella George treats Lennie nicely and lovingly. This is only because George is a good friend to Lennie. The reason as

as a result by not knowing how to make decisions‚ not knowing his own strength‚ and not knowing how to control his temper. The first way Lennie’s an unpredictable man is by the decisions he makes. Lennie was feeling the woman’s hair admiring her soft silky hair. The girl asked Lennie to stop and the woman then started to yell. “[All the sudden]Lennie was in a panic. His face was contorted.

Slim is described always in terms of dignity and majesty. When he first comes into the bunkhouse‚ he moves "with a majesty achieved only by royalty and master craftsmen. He was a jerk-line skinner‚ the prince of the ranch‚ capable of driving ten‚ sixteen‚ even twenty mules with a single line to the leaders." Slim is tall‚ ageless‚ and an expert in his job. His voice is the voice of rationalism. When Carlson suggests killing Candy’s dog‚ Candy appeals to Slim as the final authority. Slim is so

Carlos Slim The reason I have decided to research Carlos Slim is because he is currently the most wealthy man in the world and has been since 2010 according to the Forbes rich list.

This is in contrast to many of the other characters who are alone by themselves which seems to be the norm at the time of the Great Depression. The reader is able to look at how the need to have a companion is portrayed by Steinbeck‚ especially during the harsh economic times that the story is set in.

For example‚ if the price of rice increased and a certain Filipino citizen cannot afford to purchase it‚ he will switch to the best alternative which was corn.

Based on my observations‚ Filipinos were attracted to “big discounts and sales” because they believe that they could spend less. There are some that they marked the date of their most awaited sale of their favourite

the characters had something that we could sympathize with. For George‚ it was how he always had to run away from jobs because of something Lennie did‚ for Crooks‚ it was the fact that he was treated so poorly for having a different skin colour.

Curley and slim and what techniques he uses to make this comparison evident. Slim is presented as a very opposing character to Curley in the book through his appearance‚ actions/body language‚ his history‚ dialogue etc. Slim is described as the “prince of the ranch”‚ which is ironic as if Curley’s father is the boss of the ranch‚ or in this case the King‚ then surely Curley should be the prince‚ however it is else wise. We discover that Curley does not live up to that status. Slim is more of
