“A pioneer must have imagination and dreams,” says Willa Cather. On a Nebraska prairie, traveling back at least 30 years ago, there were two friends. Alexandra and Carl Linstrum. Alexandra and Carl has a good relationship with each other but there are dramatic differences between the two. Alexandra gives off an aura of independency, including the fact that she is a hard worker, smart, confident, stable, and has roots on the divide. Carl on the other hand, is opposite from…

My stupid project. 9th grade the year we read books and write pointless papers so here is another one. This year the class of 2020 read mice and men. The book is when some big and little guy leave their home city because the big guy is not right in the head one day he grabs a lady's dress because it's pretty and she thinks she's getting raped. So they leave to Salinas CA to work in a farm where they want to save money for their dream ranch. But things go wrong. Mice and Men's location was…

Of Mice and Men how hard life can be for different kinds of people. Of Mice and Men shows how hard “the American Dream” is to achieve, through the lives of George, Lennie, and Curly’s wife. George and Lennie plan to have their own land with rabbits. Lennie makes it hard for George to keep a job, therefore making it harder for George to get money for the land. Curly’s wife could have been a movie star but her mother stopped that from happening. Lennie does another bad thing, messing up…

Humans choose when to allow thoughts to flow through their mind. Through this it is easy to derive another thought: Happiness is as selective as memory and any other process that requires one to actively contemplate a situation. It is easy to identify this in hindsight, which is what makes it simple to realize one’s own realizations. In “Gooseberries”, Ivan is the character who reflects this concept of hindsight and revelation. With his knowledge, Ivan attempts to explain his epiphany on the…

We are walking to the ranch, “Damn it”, I’m so thirsty , I wish that we find out a lake or something to drink. Lennie is walking on front of me, his mouth always talk about the rabbits, “God dammit” he’s so noisy , just wanna shut his mouth and kick him away. “I see a lake,George,” Lennie said. “Where?” I replied. “ Right there George, I’m so thirsty , and I wanna drink some water from that lake”. After he said that , He runs to that lake, oh man , he is running like…

Every truly great book has not only a good plot, but also a symbolic significance, and Of Mice and Men has both. John Steinbeck must have spent more time thinking about the message he wanted to get across than writing the book itself. Of Mice and Men, entirely deserving of the Nobel Prize that it has won, has a significant and powerful import that is about so much more than just a unique pair of migrant workers looking for a better life. I learned from this book that friendships and partnerships…

In “Of Mice And Men” by John Steinbeck, George & Lennie are in search of a good outside of Weed. It has to be outside of Weed because a very serious incident that had happened. It was a misunderstanding but George & Lennie decided to leave to avoid the trouble. Throughout the story, George treats Lennie with so much compassion,love, and kindness & Lennie is very thankful for george. I believe that readers would understand how loving one could be to another person. In the beginning of the…

Everybody has a dream. Some Nightmares, some dreams. In the book Of Mice and Men, Lennie and George shared the same dream. The two lived out on their own, traveling from farm to farm looking for work. The book took place in the great depression, so like the name, they were in the heart of one. George and Lennie were partners in crime in the time. Always together, working, eating, and I bet sometimes sleeping, when Lennie gets a little frightened. The two even shared a dream, and it was a cool…

Why communities should not ban books I believe that it is only right that the school district and the school district only, decides on what kids should read in school. If a parent wants a to change the way their child is taught then it is my belief that maybe the child is better off being home schooled by such parent. One reason as to why parents/communities should not decide on books read in school is that once communities are given this power, they start to ban books. When a book is banned…
