I learned to swim and the next thing that I knew, I ended up flying.” As long as there is a group of people in this same predicament, then the efforts shouldn’t end. Teamwork will help. The chorus repeats itself again. “I’m above water. I almost drowned yesterday. Swimming in sand and looking for change. I swore that I’d give my life away if someone could come and I could be saved.” It seems as if there was a point where she would have…

the street, performers pop up every minute performing amazing feats of balance, agility, and magic. Even every once in awhile, a lucky guess at your age, weight, or birthday will amaze all the surrounding people.

the epitome of bad marriages. They are always looking for each other, but can never truly find each other both physically and mentally because of their differences. In a similar illustration of their displeasure with each other, Curley’s wife opens up about her marriage to Lennie saying, “’I get lonely,’ she said. “You can talk to people, but I can’t talk to nobody but Curley.
