Although both The Pearl and Of Mice and Men are both written by John Steinbeck and have many similarities, such as the destruction of the main character’s dreams, their resolutions are extremely different. Although both books have a character who was extremely close to the main character die at the end, the manner of death of these characters are very different. Unlike how Lennie was very peacefully shot and was happy right before he died, Coyotito was killed in a much more depressing way. The death of each character in each novel is vastly different, but they both effectively crush the living character’s dream. Some may say that the resolution of the two stories are the same because a character dies in each, however they could not be more different.…

He is both tall and well-muscled; at first glance, one would likely be afraid of him. However, Lennie is a far cry from that stereotype. Instead, he is incredibly childlike. His dependency upon George is parallel to the relationship between a parent and child, with one caring for and protecting the other. Despite his size and demeanor, he is portrayed as gentle, innocent, and almost helpless; there is a striking juxtaposition between what the world sees and who he really is.…
When atrocities occur, the individuals who committed the crime, as well as the act itself are often labeled as “inhumane.” However, with those events being so ubiquitous, it becomes ironic to describe them with a term signifying “not human” - despite the campaigns and endeavors to eliminate these iniquities, they subsist, and humans are the ones to perpetuate them. Similarly, in John Steinbeck’s novella, Of Mice and Men, the two protagonists, George Milton and Lennie Small, experience those cruelties firsthand as they pursue employment as migrant workers during the Great Depression. Yet the injustices and prejudice they encounter are inextricable aspects of society - regardless of their efforts and improvements, their circumstances regress…
Salt and Caramel, on their own they are just flavors for the human taste pallet. However, if you put the two flavors together the contrast heightens each one making two plain flavors come alive with body and savory substance. Like the concept of salted caramel, history and literature work on the same juxtaposed concept because to explore both the depths of history and literature you must contrast one with the understanding of the other. Steinbeck, a novelist who wrote prolific works like The Grapes of Rather and Of Mice and Men, has shown both fields the importance of knowing the other’s respective disciplines. One work in particular, The Winter of our Discontent, shows the historical change between the 1950’s and the 1960’s.…

While analyzing Steinbeck’s novel, most readers may find that Aristotle’s Appeals are displayed throughout the novel…
