Ranch

In the 1930s, migrant workers George and Lennie take new jobs on a farm in California bucking barley for the ranch owner and his son. In the beginning, George and Lennie discuss their past and how they have come this farm; they have come from the north where Lennie did something bad and forced the two to flee. After they arrived at the ranch, they begin their work and in the process meet the other characters; some they manage to befriend and others become enemies. The duo encounter the boss’s…

First, let me apologize for the tardy K-1’s this year. The lateness was a result of our transition and tax law changes. There was a lot of transition on the ranch this year: • The first new ranch manager in almost 30 years • The acquisition of (on of) the premier fencing companies in the State • Cattle prices at record levels • Five year average rainfall had been 12.7” vs. 2014 with 40.6” • The start of a Corriente cattle herd • The lease of 2500 acres of pasture in Kapalua You all know that…

happen. Soon Lennie and George are motivated by their dreams and start to work harder. Steinbeck shows in his novel how dreams often play a huge role in your survival when you are living in a lonely world. Crooks, the black stable-hand, saw men on the ranch come and go, “the same damn thing in their heads” (Steinbeck 73). Crooks soon becomes lonely and miserable, losing his own hopes and dreams. Curley’s wife believes that she “coulda made somethin’ of myself” and says, “Maybe I will yet”…

the worse. Steinbeck uses discrimination to dramatically affect characters such as Lennie, Crooks, and Curley’s wife. To begin with, Lennie is treated completely differently because he is mentally challenged. George and Lennie are travelling to a ranch to find work when Lennie looks over to George and asks for the third time where they were heading to. George says to Lennie, “‘So you forgot that awready did you? I gotta tell you again do I? Jesus Christ, you’re a crazy bastard!’”(Steinbeck 4).…

endures goes beyond this, with all of the men constantly thinking that she is going to get them into trouble because she is the boss’ daughter-in-law. The clearest example of this quick judgment sexism is shown when George and Lennie first arrive at the ranch, and Lennie admires her beauty after first meeting her. This open expression of admiration is swiftly shot down by George. “‘Gosh, she was purty.’ [Lennie] smiled admiringly. George looked quickly down at him and then he took him by an ear…

Crooks is a black man who works and lives on the ranch and is separated from the white ranch workers. During the time period of the book there is lack of respect towards blacks; white people don 't like the African American race. Crooks is always forced to be isolated whether it 's his living space or talking to people or…

their isolation by using their imagination. In addition, they are accepted by the other workers on the ranch, while Crooks faces loneliness because of his race, his mistrust in others, and his physical disability. Candy is an old worker who has lost one of his hands in a farm accident and is reduced to the role of a swamper. He's spent the best years of his life working on someone else's ranch, only to lose his hand and have little money. However, he has a companion,…

from the fact that he was the best skinner on the ranch the “ prince of the ranch” (33). With his power he leads the men, whatever he says is the law and the men will obey such as when he said that Candy’s dog needed to be shot even though Candy did not want to he still obeyed and let Carlson shoot and kill his dog (page number 45). Slim’s power and the decisions he makes with that power help him gain more respect from every single man at the ranch. Respect can be a very powerful form of power…

Steinbeck describes the close relationship between Candy and his dog. Much like George and Lennie, Candy and his dog are rely on eachothers company . The dog is Candy's companion on the ranch, which makes him the only worker that isn't lonely. Carlson convinces Candy that his dog should be killed, and no one on the ranch disagrees. Though Carlson states that his reason for shooting the dog has to do with the dog being old and crippled, Steinbeck makes it seem, that Carlson is jealous that Candy…
