Chapters 24-29: Claire, Day’s wife, took care of Robert and Simon and her very own children. She and Day argue over their girls’ names. It wasn’t the best time to discuss this topic, for Walter was in a very stubborn mood. Claire keeps calm, however, and knows that Walter is just frustrated with his work. The squad was already under a lot of pressure after having the whole city trust that they would identify Jack the Ripper, but then here came the Harvest Man, another criminal that would take probably take a long time to capture. Blackleg and Hammersmith find the initials A-R engraved on a wall at one of the Ripper’s crime scenes. One clue was a starting point at least. To eliminate millions of suspects, the squad declared that this person …show more content…
He and Nevil burst through the door of the rented cottage. Inside, Claire held Henrietta tightly and ran up to Day with a sad look on her face. They now started a search party for Winnie, led by Leland. Nevil searched desperately for the baby, with Mr. Carlyle by his side. Day entered a dim and quiet house. He opened the last door of the house and was startled by Jack’s voice. He requested for the baby, but Jack responded, “why is always about you?”. His voice scared Day, as he rambled off on how he would never kill Walter, and that he had a relationship with him. It was almost impossible to tell where Jack was in the room , and he admitted that he could not see The Ripper. He was commanded to go outside and enter a carriage without speaking to the driver. At first, Walter’s mind told him to refuse to listen to the deadly criminal, but after getting threatened, Day followed his instructions. The Harvest man, sweaty and hungry, crept through the silent house, with a rope coiled in his hand. He hoped to tie the mother and father before they woke up. The Harvest man then notes that this man had features that were difficult to discern, “but it was possible that the bone structure was good”, then he got to

    "A work of literature must provide more than factual accuracy or vivid physical reality... it must tell us more than we already know. " - E. M. Forster. This means that the story must provide a little more then just facts and vivid physical reality. It must give more knowledge of what is already known and what is and must be achieved. I agree with the critical lens is valid because without the method of writing readers would be lost when they read about articles.…

In Of Mice and Men nearly every scene serves as foreshadowing for the inevitable tragic ending. In the first scene the reader learns that Lennie likes soft animals, but often kills them accidentally; this indicates that he may later kill again.…

    In the fictional novella, Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, George’s decision to kill Lennie at the end of the novella was justified. The reason this decision was even a possibility was because Lennie, a colossal, powerful, and simple minded man, committed a horrible crime. He accidentally killed Curley’s wife. A woman who has the “eye” for other men. She is, of course, married to Curley, who is a young, mean, and abusive man.…

    In the movie, “Of Mice and Men” Weed was very different than the one in the novel. First and foremost, the lady in the red dress chased Lennie and George; the book did not portray it that way. The men were also chasing Lennie and George. I believe the director chose to do it this way because it brings action, and it also makes it more interesting it. Also it is the beginning of the story, so he possibly may have wanted to add an attention grabber to draw you in.…

    True Perspective True understanding is earned after a true bond is formed and it changes your perspective to only see love unlike a stranger who only views hate. Throughout the novel this concept is manifest; not only in George and Lennie's long friendship but in every character we are introduced to. The theme revolves around the fact knowing a man well will never lead to hate and the closer you are the harder it is to judge upon them with anything else but love. Closeness impacts how we see someone and makes it extremely difficult to hate actions that would come off differently to a stranger. Bonds create a sort of blindness for the negative and when we make one we are cut off from the reality that a not as close friendship would contain and this is highlighted multiple times in the plot in Of Mice and Men.…

    A literary work can only be received through symbols, through concepts - for that is what words are…” This is said by Andrei Tarkovsky who is a famous Soviet and Russian film maker. The symbolism in John Steinbeck's book Of Mice and Men is an excellent example of the words that Andrei talked about. Of Mice and Men has symbolism so small that is you don’t look close enough you might miss it. This book is placed in the mid 1930s in California when there were migrant workers.…
