    Comparing Steinbeck's 'Of Mice And Men'

    I think steinbeck called it “Of Mice and Men” to be more mysteries and not to give anything away from the story.i think “Of MIce and Men” is a good title because it makes you want to read more because you want to find out what the stories about.Steinbeck wanted to the plot to be how mice and men are similar or how lennie killed so many small things and george kills lennie like he’s a mice because he's small.This title betrayed that the story was gonna be about mice and men and how they are similar and we do similar things.…

    A Comparison Between John Steinbeck's 'Of Mice And Men'

    This paragraph will be about the disgust and horror which is conveyed during chapter 3 of, Of Mice and Men during a fight between Lennie and Curley. Towards the end of the novel the fight begins where Curley ‘slashed at Lennie with his left, and then smashed down his nose with his right’, already this quote shows the power of Curley in this fight and the sheer harshness and magnitude of the whole situation. The word ’smashed’ used is onomatopoeia, meaning it’s spelt how it sounds, so the reader can almost hear the impact of the punch on Lennie’s face and are made to feel sympathy towards Lennie as he did nothing wrong and fear for what may happen to him at the hands of Curley. In addition ‘slashed’ and ‘smashed’…

    Comparing Kosinski's Of Mice And Men

    In Kosinski’s novel, the first thing Chance does upon awakening each morning is tend to his beloved plants. He very gently touches “every plant, every flower, every branch of the garden” (3), a direct metaphor to Christ and the church. Chance, who possesses the qualities that were taught by Christ, compares the plants he tends to human beings. He compares their life cycle to that of humans who need care in order to live, to survive disease, and to die peacefully. He makes the following observation in the film: “Young plants do much better if a person helps them,” emphasizing his compassion and nurturing nature.…

    Frankenstein Comparison Between Of Mice And Men

    Where there is so much as a speculation of an abomination, there is a society desperately scrambling to reinstate dominance. Society’s fight for supremacy is prevalent in both books, Frankenstein by Marie Shelley and Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. The creature from Frankenstein and Lenny from Of Mice and Men are both mortally wounded from the agonizing blows of society. They share the same cuts and bruises, but neither of the characters receives the necessary stitches to help heal the wounds. Due to the mental distress, Lennie and the creature share the same feeling of rejection that contributes to the overall theme of loneliness.…

    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.…
