Bunkhouse

“I'll race you back to the bunkhouse!” We took off running and pushing each other, Cody won. “Ah! I won.” Cody said. “I'm to tired to run.” I said as I tried to catch my breath. “Brooklyn, Cody, get everyone out of the bunkhouse, dinners ready.” Uncle Sam yelled to us. Cody and I walked up the steps. “Guys, time for dinner.” Cody said as he walked in the bunkhouse. “Okay. Were coming.” Strait yelled as he got up from the bed he was laying on. Cody started running down the stairs, as he ran down the stairs, he slipped and hit his head. “Cody, are you okay?” I asked. I got no response. “Cody, Cody, Cody!” I said as my voice got louder. Strait walked out of the bunk house. “Strait. Hurry, run and go get Dad. He’s hurt!” Strait ran down the stairs, going around Cody. My heart dropped as thoughts of what if this is it for him and it messed him up for the rest of this life. “Boo!” Cody said, sitting up. “Ah” I screamed. “What. Are…

Of mice and men; places and their significance I chose to write about the pool in the beginning of the book and the bunkhouse. I have chosen the pool because it is a calm and relaxing place, like a paradise compared to the bunkhouse. The bunkhouse is a simple building with as little money spent on it as possible and no effort to make it comfortable for the workers living there. The characters spend a lot of time throughout the book and most of the key events take place here. The pool is of…

during The Great Depression, the novel begins when two grown men come looking in search of new jobs on a ranch. In Thomas C. Foster’s How to Read Literature Like a Professor and John Steinbeck’s novel, Of Mice and Men, both the authors use symbolism to show that it is related to an action or event experienced through individuals imaginations with a possible range of meanings and interpretations. In chapter 12 of Foster’s text, he uses caves and rivers as symbols of various interpretation and…

. This is shown best when we are told he has “his bunk in the harness room.” Contrasting to the main bunkhouse where there are eight men positioned together, Steinbeck is making it very clear to the reader that he is on his own. As he is isolated and separated from the main body of men it highlights how in 1930s America black people were still marginalised by society and segregated. As well as this we learn that the harness room is “A little shed that leaned off the wall of the barn.” The word…

Early in Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck's stark, barebones description of the bunkhouse setting indirectly characterizes the ranch hands as institutionalized, rootless men, oblivious to their own isolation. Although the "long, rectangular building" serves as home for several men, the "whitewashed" walls and "unpainted" floor betray a sterile,…

As being the only black man in the ranch, he’s not allowed in the Bunkhouse with the other men, and therefore, lives in a barn, where he has everything to himself and doesn’t allow anyone in his space. But, to overcome the feeling of loneliness, he either reads books or continues doing his job. However, when hearing about the Dream, he soon realizes that neither of…

The bunkhouse was dead silent and all eyes were on George. Not a single word was spoken. It had seemed like this silence would go on forever. It was like a ghost house in there. Finally Slim spoke up and quietly said, “Let’s give ‘em some space boys, les’ go on outside.” All of the men left the bunkhouse, all except for Candy. He went over and sat with George. He sat for a few seconds without saying anything, putting his one good hand around George. He finally spoke up and asked, “ George, Is…

Of Mice and Men is a famous novel written by John Steinbeck. It was published in 1937. This novel is about two young men named George Milton and Lennie Small who move to a ranch to work during the period of The Great Depression. These two displaced men go through several situations at the ranch but still hope to work their best. Disenfranchisement is clearly presented in the society of this novel using gender and space through literary theories such as Foucault and Feminism. Steinbeck creates…

In the novel Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, Steinbeck shows us two different setting places to give us a better interpretation of how the story is moving along and the different characters. The first setting place is the pool that George and Lennie, two meager migrant workers, stumble along when they are trying to find another farm to work at. The author gives vivid descriptions of the location using words like, “Evening of a hot day, Little wind, Crisp sycamore leaves, Still, green pool”…

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. The migrant workers, and the main focus of the book, George and Lennie got run out of the town Weeds and now working on a farm. The writing style John…
