Whenever I am in doubt, I double-check my facts.
represents the book Of Mice & Men is white because white represents hope, isolation, and new beginnings and those three themes are introduced frequently throughout the book.
To start, the color white best represents the book Of Mice & Men because the color white represents hope, and in the book many people have hope in their dreams. For example, one person that has a dream is Crooks, whose dream is to be treated fairly and equally. This was shown when Lennie strolled into Crooks’ room. George and a few others had left the ranch, so Lennie was looking for someone to hang out with. Lennie then tried to hang out with Crooks, making Crooks think about how nice it is to talk to someone. However, …show more content…
He then takes his anger out on Lennie telling him that George might not come back from town. After, realizing how big and scary Lennie actually is, Crooks takes his statement back. Candy then appears, and they all talk about the dream farm. Crooks then suggests that he wants to be on the dream farm, creating another dream of his, which can be shown with this quote, “[Crooks] hesitated. "… If you … guys would want a hand to work for nothing—just his keep, why I'd come an' lend a hand. I ain't so crippled I can't work like a son-of-a-bitch if I want to." (pg 88). The ranch gives Crooks hope that he might actually be treated equally, making him too, dream of the ranch. After, Curley’s wife comes in, and Crooks tells her to leave, making her threaten to have him lynched. This makes Crooks realize that his dream of being treated equally will never happen. Curley’s wife also …show more content…
Goodnight." (pg 148)
This quote shows Crooks giving up on his short-lived dream of owning the ranch because he realized it was a fantasy and told Candy he wouldn’t want to work on it. Another person that has a dream is Curley’s wife, whose dream was to become a movie star. This was shown when Lennie accidentally broke her neck after she offered him to stroke it, which can be shown with this quote, “And then she [Curley’s wife] was still, for Lennie had broken her neck.” This shows the part where Lennie broke her neck and accidentally killed her. Moreover, the color white best represents the book Of Mice & Men because the color white represents isolation and many people feel isolated in the book. For example, one person that feels isolated in the book is Crooks. This is because he is never visited because of the color of his skin, and people treat him unequally. Another person that feels isolated in the book is Candy when his dog died. This is because Candy had the dog since he was a puppy, and loved him the same way George loves Lennie. Also, the relationship between Candy and the dog was very similar to the relationship of George and Lennie, who also felt isolated in the book. A time George felt isolated in the book was, obviously, when Lennie died. Lennie and George had such a tight relationship that when George was about to kill Lennie out of mercy, his hand was shaking so violently he barely even hold the gun. This can be shown with quote:
