- 14794: Of Mice And Men
- By: Shelly Wolf When writing the novel Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck made many themes clear to his readers. Some of these themes were good statements to live by, and others weren’t. Most of these themes were about people’s social lives, because that was what a good part of the book was about. They addressed friendship, equality, and death. The first, and probably most important lesson taught by this book was the value of friendship. From the very beginning of the book, readers can tell that George and Lennie are very close friends. Later, the book tells of this odd duo’s past. Because Lennie was never too bright, George often took advantage of him. Eventually, though, George decided Lennie needed someone to take care of him and lead him through life. The two stuck together, ...

In his last moments on this earth Farquhar “...closed his eyes in order to fix his last thoughts upon his wife and children.” Being a plantation owner affected Farquhar’s politics.

- 14797: Lynchings In America
- ... of the article, the author, Benjamin Schwarz, outlined some very interesting and disturbing facts related to this gruesome act of violence: Between 1882 and 1930, more than 3,000 people were lynched in the U.S., with approximately 80% of them taking place in the South. Though most people think only African Americans were victims of lynchings, during those years, about 25% were white.

Though I tried my best to be objective when reading the L.A.Times Article, I found myself quickly becoming exasperated by Mr. Schwarz's effort to "play both sides of the field".

Why then weren't just as many Caucasians victims of lynchings ...

- 14799: Hamlet
- Hamlet Things are happening in my life that shouldn’t be, my mom married my uncle, my friends are telling me they saw a ghost and my uncle is king instead of me.
