Cotton Candy Land
For all well-behaved children, boys and girls, there exists a magical place which no adults can find. Some call it happiness, some call it joy, but mostly all children call it a dream come true. Though not many people believe in the existence of this place, it does not make it any less real. The place holds all things little children could possibly dream of. It was called Cotton Candy Land.
A child’s love for cotton candy goes beyond words. Not only do they want it in every flavor but they want the candy to never end, and that is what Cotton Candy Land is. There is a cotton candy in every flavor imaginable to mankind and it is bottomless. The best thing about it is that no child can ever get sick from eating too much candy in Cotton Candy Land. Needless to say, the place was truly blessed with a hint of magic dust.
Once upon a time ago, Cotton Candy Land was ruled by Princess Vanilla. She was daughter of King Pistachio and Queen Macadamia. Both the Kind and Queen decided to leave Cotton Candy Land in the hands on Princess Vanilla, to give her more responsibility. Princess Vanilla was only 8 years old, but she already had possessed her mother’s graceful charm and her father’s wit and humor. There was no doubt; this 8 year old can take reign of Cotton Candy Land.
However, Princess Vanilla was quite unhappy. She was the only child in the whole of Cotton Candy Land. There lived no other humans in Cotton Candy Land, only other animals and their babies. Her best friends are Miss Golliwog the Porcupine, Mr Timpu the Giant Tortoise and Mrs Pilligog the Giraffe. She wished there were other children to enjoy the Cotton Candies with her as these animals don’t quite enjoy Cotton Candies as much as she did. They didn’t know how to create a floating castle out of Cotton Candy or even a fluffy bed to jump on. She truly was lonely.
So Princess Vanilla decided to venture out one day into the forest. She needed to find some friends for her to play with. With just her yellow

Spose I went in with you guys. Tha’s three hundred an’ fifty bucks I put in” (p.33). George’s reaction to what Candy said prompts Candy to bare his soul to him and tell George that he will “´make a will an’ leave [his] share to [Lennie and George]” (p.34). But more importantly, Candy develops a friendship with George which is seen later in the story when Candy divulges to George his inner feelings regarding his dog, showing the beginnings of a friendship, “I ought to of shot that dog myself. . .I shouldn’t ought to of let no stranger shoot my dog” (p.39).

    The Candymakers

    In the novel The Candymakers by Wendy Mass, Logan, Miles, Daisy, and Philip are competing to make the world’s best candy. Logan is the son of the man who owns the candy factory Life is Sweet. When the annual competition comes to see which twelve year old can make the best candy, Logan enters along with 31 other kids but only three others practice at Life is Sweet. Daisy, Miles, and Philip all come eager to make candy, but each is hiding a secret. Which one will become the supreme candymaker? The thematic statement I chose was “It is better to try something and fail than to never have tried at all.” My evidence is that Logan made a delicious candy, but it didn’t do what he wanted. He didn’t win, but he knew that his dad was proud of him because he tried, and he was proud of himself.…

    Candy demonstrates the theme of loneliness throughout the whole novella. By the way he acts towards other characters in the novella. For example, he was only close to his dog before he met George and Lennie and he was so eager to meet them and make friends. Additionally, Candy looks desperate when the outlook of being part of Lennie and George's dream of the small farm comes up, he says, "And they give me two hundred and fifty dollars 'cause I lost my hand. An' I got fifty more saved up right in the bank right now. That's three hundred..." This shows he’s willing to give every cent to join up with them and their dream and loneliness has made him desperate. Candy also had a close relationship with his dog. After his dog was shot, it was almost described as if it was Candy that got shot. As the dog was being executed, Candy laid in bed and stayed silent. The dog and its weakness is a symbolism Steinbeck used to compare to Candy and his missing hand. Candy’s loneliness affects George and Lennie and alters the dream to a three man thing instead of just George and Lennie.…

    First, Candy has the dream of getting him a piece of George and Lennie’s land on their farm. This small piece of land means much to Candy, as shown in chapter 3, Candy is talking to George and says, “…you’ll let me hoe in the garden even after I ain’t no good at it. An’ I’ll wash dishes an’ little chicken stuff like that…I’ll be let to work on our own place” (p. 60). From this, it is suggested that all Candy wants is a small piece of land where he can go when he is considered old and worthless by others. It is his ticket for feeling useful, and not living off streets once he cannot perform his job as a swamper. Although the plan seemed superb, it was ultimately flawed. Candy could have probably made the rest of the money as he promised, but because Lennie killed Curley’s wife in chapter 5, they could never go through with the impractical plan. The decision of not getting the farm and his land solidified by what George said to Candy in chapter 5, “—I think I knowed from the very first. I think I knowed we’d never do her. He usta like to hear about it so much I got to thinking maybe we would” (p. 94). Conclusively, Steinbeck shows that the dreams of many are destroyed by reality and unfortuitous circumstances through the destruction of Candy’s dream.…

    Sympathy for Candy

    • 943 Words
    • 4 Pages

    You also feel sorry for him as he has had a terrible accident and has had his hand cut off “i aint much good with only one hand” this also creates sympathy as he himself is acknowledging that he isn’t of much use. It could also mean that no one around the ranch cares about his accident. This is sad as he was once a useful and now he is isolated from the rest because all the others are fit and healthy and he is crippled. He has low hopes until Lennie and George tell him about their plan.” 'Cause i ain't got no relatives nor nothing” this is another quote to make you sympathise for candy as it states that he has no family to leave money for so he can give the money to them to fulfil the “American dream” of George and Lennie. This is sad knowing what candy has been through and what he thinks of himself. Furthermore, another language device Steinbeck uses in the passage to present candy is adjectives. There are a variety of them used such as "reassures" and "safe" in order to describe candy's feelings. The fact that candy feels "safe"…
