- 173: John Steinbeck

Crook on the other hand of a place where he will be equal to white men ... a closed book to us, and only in the final chapter Steinbeck attempts to describe Lennie and his hallucinations, but the result is very poor. Theme: Without a doubt it is companionship. The friendship between George and Lennie is so close that George takes it up for his feeble-minded friend and protects him above all, even his own interests.

- 175: Of Mice And Men
- ... a poem by Robert Burns. The poem was about the plans of mice and men going wrong. The book generally is about all of the migrant workers, all with their own dreams. The main characters George and Lennie go from farm to farm, trying to work up a stake and save enough to buy their own farm. The other characters in the book are also all lonely in their own way ... seen as outcasts. Curley’s wife is a woman and therefore insignificant, perhaps this is why she has not been given a name.

He’s much taller and better built, and consequently an amazing worker. Unfortunately for him and George he is not very intelligent. George enjoys going to brothels, getting drunk and ...
- 176: Movie Review of It’s a Wonderful Life
- ... my favorite movies of all times. The characters were very good. I thought this movie to be beautifully told and acted, with Reed, Barrymore, and other ensemble members perfectly cast. The actors were very convincing. George Bailey was an ordinary guy. An example of this was went he was at the train station waiting for his brother, Harry. He said, "Do you know what the three most exciting sounds in the world are?…Hanker chains, plane motors, and train whistles." He appreciated small things like that. I think that Jimmy Stewart played the role of George Bailey extremely well. Throughout the whole movie I continued to be worried about George. I began to feel sorry for him. I thought that Lionel Barrymore played Mr. Potter commendably. He really seemed to fit the part. As the audience, I grew a strong grudge against him, from ...

In Winesburg many characters appear in more than one story, but one character, George Willard is present in nearly all. In almost every story, someone talks with or about the reporter. The local newspaper is something that links the people in town together. Speaking to the reporter is the people’s only way of communicating. Simple, healthy conversation for these people seems to be a very difficult and rare thing. Everyone in this little town has trouble communicating and they each see in George Willard an ability to express themselves. George Willard helps the book form a complete whole. Sherwood Anderson didn’t want this book to have the tight continuous structure of a novel. He said that he wanted to create a loose form ...

The first significant relationship presented in the novel is that between PS and his Aunt Lila and Uncle George.

Being a six year old child yet to develop his own personal sense of identity, PS trusts implicitly in Lila and George and believes, in his innocent naive way, that they will always do what is best for him. This is not so much carelessness on PS s part, as an ignorance of any other type ...
