Detail
From his first paragraph, John Steinbeck sets the scene in Of Mice and Men through his use of imagery as he describes the natural world as a parallel to later events in the novella.
The quote "the Salinas River drops in close to the hillside bank and runs deep and green" has imagery. Deep refers to depth in personality and green refers to health. George and Lennie are deep and green. George has depth of personality. Both have good health physically at least.
The "strong and rocky Gabilan mountains" parallels George and Lennie. Strong means stable, while rocky refers to rough or treacherous. George is strong, because he has mental capabilities. Lennie is rocky, because he is of low mentality and acts like a kid by getting himself into trouble a lot of times.
"The leaves lie deep and so crisp" has imagery. Leaves lie deep is like the roots lie deep. Crisp means new or fresh. Curley is like the leaves that lie deep, because his roots lie in the ranch. Lennie and George are crisp, because they are new on the ranch.
"A path beaten hard by boys coming down from the ranches" parallels the system of the ranches. A path beaten hard by boys coming down from the ranches refers to men going to the ranches to find work. George and Lennie symbolize a path beaten hard by boys coming down from the ranches. George and Lennie went to the ranches to find work.
"The limb is worn smooth by men who have sat on it" parallels later events in the book. Worn smooth by men who have sat on it refers to someone getting injured or harmed by someone else.George symbolizes the limb worn smooth, because he lets the men talk him into shooting his friend Lennie even though he does not want to, but because he knows it will be better than letting him get tortured by getting shot in the guts and bleeding out, to shoot him in the head.
Point Of View
The third-person objective point of view solidifies the solitary lives these men lead.
"Crooks did not see him...on raising his eyes...a scowl came on his face." This quote shows that Crooks is disgusted and does not like human contact. Crooks wants his own space on the Earth, because he was not allowed to stay in the bunkhouse. He figures that if he cannot go in their then no one should be able to go into his place."Lennie smiled helplessly in an attempt to make friends." (p 68)This quote shows that Lennie s friendly and he relies on human contact.Lennie relies on relationships to help him out, because he is just like a kid and needs someone to help him out. Without relationships he might not be able to stay out of trouble.
"Curley glared at him. His eyes slipped on past and lighted on Lennie." This quote show that Curley is aggressive and full of rage. Curley is a little guy who thinks that he is better than everyone else. He tries to fight anyone for whatever reason he can. "Lennie looked helplessly at George, and then he got up and tried to retreat."(p 62-63)This quote shows that Lennie is helpless and non-aggressive.Lennie is helpless when it comes to fighting others. Since Lennie is a big guy almost everyone thinks that he should be aggressive but they do not realize how low his mentality is.
Tone
The guilt and obligation tones in Steinbeck's passage reflect George's reluctance to kill Lennie but his knowing the necessity to do so.
The word guilt shows reluctance. "George raised gun and his hand shook, and he dropped his hand to the ground again." (p 105)the George felt guilty about killing Lennie his best friend who was not mean at all. George felt like Lennie did not know what he was doing doing when he killed Curley's wife and he would not have killed her out of meanness.
The word obligation shows necessity." The hand shook violently, but his face set and his hand steadied. He pulled the trigger." (p 106)George felt obligated to kill Lennie because the other guys would kill Lennie in a more treacherous way. George knew the other guys would worry Lennie. George felt obligated to Lennie in all aspects, because he made it his responsiblitity to watch out for Lennie.
Theme
The theme "I am my brother's keeper" fits Of Mice and Men very well,because George and Lennie look out for one another.
"I was jus' foolin', Lennie 'Cause I want you to stay with me." (p 13) Lennie gives George the air of responsibility. George gives Lennie comfort and protection.
"He used to like to hear it so much I got to thinking maye we would."(p 94) Lennie gives George hope to dream of the en of their oppression. George gives Lennie the grand idea of a new life for him without bosses.
"The hand shook violently,but his face setand his hand steadied. He pulled the trigger." George causes Lennie to have a quick end rather than bleed out painfully. George had a hard time kiling Lennie,because he was his best frien. George's shooting Lennie was keeping him because he would have suffered had the other guys shot him.

Home
When most people think of home the idea of a house comes up,but in the Migrant Mother by Dorothea Lange is a tent like thing. What would you do if all you had was a tent to live in and not a house?
During the Great Depression many people were homeless. But truly being homeless is impossible, when you are with the people who care about you. In my opinion there were probably more "homes" during the Great Depression, because there was not as many material possessions to get in the way of family and friends. What do you consider a home?
The fact that people did not have money or houses would be bad. The children most likely did not act up as much as they do now.The migrant mother had to sell almost all she had in order to have a semblance of getting buy. How would you like to have to lose almost all you have?

The Giver
The Giver shrugged,"Our people made that choice, the choice to go to Sameness." This is what the Giver's explanation was for why all the color's had disappeared. Lois Lowery's The Giverintrigued me with a tale of Sameness and a bleak world.
How would you like there world if it was only in black and white? Jonas's wolrd has the absence of color. Jonas has always felt like there was something missing. No bright cheery colors are found in Jonas's world.
How would you feel if you lived in a world free of emotions? The people in Jonas's world have the pain of minor injuries all right, but noone ever feels true gut-wrenching pain. There is no joy, no sorrow, no loss, no anger, and worst of all no love. When Jonas asks his parents if they love him, they say that he should have better precision of language.
The people in the community do not think anything about killing people. In fact, there Ceremony of Release is by lethal injection and then dumping them in the garbage. The old are given this treatment, as well as third time offenders and one twin if the twin if they are identical. The people doing the releasing do not relize the wrongfulness fo what they are doing.
The Giver has several great aspects. It shows how utopias can very well turn into distopias. I recommend this book to those who like great books. This book deserves a 9.75 out of 10.

Animal Farm (Effectiveness)
The way George George Orwell uses animals to portray his message about utopoas could be said to be excellent. He shows how a utopia for one person can not come about without having a distopia for someone else.
The pigs represent figures of authority who use others for their own personal gain and perfect world. Napolean has his own personal escort of dogs to enforce his demands if any animal even thinks of acting out. Squealer lies for Napolean if any animal questions one of Napolean's decrees.
The animals, other than the pigs, traded one "hell" for another one, but this one was even worse. Napolean worked them even more than Jones did and gave them even less food than Jones. Napolean wanted the majority of the food for himself,so, he cut the rations to less for all the other animals gradually. Napolean hardly ever left the farmhouse, because the other animals on the farm were his slaves and believed everything that he told them.
The pigs took advantage of the fact that most of the other animals could not read. When Napolean decided that he wanted to sleep in a bed, he changed the rule to no sleeping in beds with sheets. Napolean told the other animals they were mistaken, when a commandment was questioned, because the animals remembered it differently.
Napolean and the other pigs wanted to be humans. The pigs drank alcohol like humans do. They wore clothes and stood on their hind legs. At the end its ironic how the pigs and humand were portrayed the same. The pigs asnd humans are both greedy and money hungry. The pigs revert back to the way the farm was before the rebellion, the only difference being that now the pigs are the ones in charge.

Cross-Examination
Someone might cross-examine me if they thought something was wrong about what I did.If they though I have too much stuff in my closet. The reason one might cross-examine this because I have alot of stuff piled up in my closet.
My closet has a ton of shoes and clothes spillong out.My closet has so much of a mess in it. I never get rid of anything in my closet. My closet has more of a mess than other peoples' closets.
If someone was going to cross-examine me for something, that person would most likely do the cross-examining of my closet. My closet has piles of junk everywhere. My closet never gets clean.

The Mask I Wear
The mask comes on once again;
the deep dark abyss of highschool sweeps in.
The laughs and smiles
hide the lassitude that piles.
The wearyness of all the jeers
ends up in mocks and sneers.
The hopes and fears of all
are crushed by the gall
of those who think they are better than the rest.
Our masks put to the test
what the eyes of our oppressers
refuse to look past.
We laugh and smile to discern
those whose only concern
remains to put down
those who dare to go against
the norm with their individualist
attitudes standing out.
They sometimes scream and shout
without a care about the social scene.

Saint Patrick's Day
Saint Patrick's Day really doesn't have any special meaning for me. I just mean that the years continue to go by and I do not have that much luck. I do not really know what Saint Patrick's Day came about.
I only wear green because people pinch you if you do not. Not everyone wears green. We do not really go into the details about why the day has come about.
I think the reason that the government created the holiday as another money scheme. Everyone goes out and buys green clothes, earrings,shamrocks, hats,etc. Saint Patrick's day has been extremely commercialized.

Persuasion
I often utilize the art of persuasion. I commonly use persuasion to get what I want form people. I f used effectively persuasion comes in handy. Have you ever you persuasion? If, so, how many times? Can you even come up with the number of times or not?
In my opinion, I am very good at the use of persuasion. One way, I use persuasion, is by finding out what household work people like doing the least, and I offer to do the work for them. I, also, figure out what people like in general.
A tactic I use when persuading people is pathos, because it always comes in handy. I can find out people’s emotions, good or bad, easily. Another tactic I use is logos. I can prove to find the logical thing and want it for those purposes.
Persuasion holds importance in life, because people have to use persuasion to get other people to do what they want them to do. I find persuasion important in getting people to agree with me. I like persuading people, because I want what I want.
American Idol contestants use persuasion to get people to vote for them. The contestants are trying to become famous, because if they do not want to get kicked off. Would you like to be famous? What would you do to get there?

Being a Winner
Sometimes being a winner just means doing the best you can. Other times you have to beat out others in some sort of competition. Being a winner means that you have worked hard and working hard paid off very well.
Winning does not always mean receiving a tangible award. Sometimes you just get a feeling of pride or a sense of accomplishment. Other times you get a trophy, medal, ribbon, plaque, etc.. The whole point in winning is knowing that you played or did well.
What are you most proud of winning? I am most proud of winning the class spelling bee. I won the bee four or five times, and I always knew that my family and friends were proud of me.

Dedication of Olympian
I am not sure, that I would ever be able to put the dedication and commitment into anything, that Olympians put into training. I mean doing so would definitely be hard. To even get to the Olympics, the athletes have to work very hard.
One thing that I would be willing to put the dedication and commitment of the Olympians to would be my education. I find education very important. Without education, you cannot do much of anything in life. Education expands your job opportunities by a large quantity.
An education helps one get to college. I strive to make good grades and to be the best person that I can be. Not everyone in the countries across the world has the freedom to take the advantage of getting an education, so, I need to use all the advantages I have.
To get into college one must work as hard as an Olympic athlete. Both work as hard as they can. Athletes have to work hard to get to the Olympics. Would you be willing to put the dedication needed to get in to the Olympics into anything.

Call of the Wild
What would you do if you were taken from the only home you have ever known by complete strangers? Buck starts out as a domesticated dog and turns into a wild one like his ancestors. Jack London’s The Call of The Wild enticed me with its tale of a dog heeding the call of the wild.
A theme of this book is taking a stand. Buck takes a stand against the other dogs. He also takes a stand against the man in the red sweater. John Thornton takes a stand against Hal, Mercedes and Charles when the time comes.
Buck was taken from his home at Judge’s by the gardener Manuel during the gold rush. The man in the red sweater taught Buck to do as he was told. Buck was transferred to different teams learning the law of club and fang. Buck was taught of something he never knew before by John Thornton; he was taught love.
The Call of the Wild shared the great tale of a dog heeding to the call. I love this excellent book. Anyone who lives absolutely excellent books, should definitely read The Call of the Wild. I rate this book a 9 out of 10, which would have been 10 out of 10 had there been more action.

The Blame Game
Have you ever had one of those days? You know the ones, when everyone around you complains all day long. I am sick and tired of people complaining.
One girl blames her problems on everyone. She always says how bad her life is, but she does not have life any rougher than everyone else. Drama seems to surround her life. Every time I see her she complains about some "problem" that her life now revolves around.
People are so negative. Life is not about what everyone else has. It is about what you have. If you do not try to make lif easy, then of cours its going to suck.
Have you ever blamed your problems on everyne else? You should not, but you should make the best of every situation. Do you think that you have life bad? You really do not,if you look around you will see someone with life ten times worse. Do you complain alot? Well, you need to stop your complaining.

Vampire Academy
A dhampir either turns into a guardian, who fights of Strigoi and other attacks, or a blood whore, who stays away from the fight and has babies. Rose, a dhampir, wants to protect her friend Lissa, a Moroi. Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy enthralled me with its exciting tale.
Vladmir Academy in Montana trains Moroi and Dhampir to utilize their abilities. Dhampir become guardians and usually die young. Moroi are the leaders in society. Without the dhampir fighting skills and protection against the Strigoi, immortal dead vampires, the Moroi civilization would crash and burn.
Rose and Lissa have not been to the academy in two years. When they return, Dimitri, a top-notch guardian, is assigned to tutor Rose in her guardian skills, fighting and running. Lissa keeps finding dead animals in her room, as if someone was trying to scare her off. Rose tries her hardest to ensure Lissa’s safety.
Anyone, who wants a tremendous book to read, should read Vampire Academy. I recommend this book to those of you who like vampires. This book is a ten out of ten.

City of Ashes
What would you do if you were being punished for a crime that you did not commit? Almost everyone in the Clave, including the Inquisitor, think Jace is Valentine’s spy. Cassandra Clare’s City of Ashes enticed me with its fascinating story line.
When Maryse Lightwood kicks Jace out, he goes to the Hunter’s Moon, where Luke is with his pack. Jace tries to pick a fight with the entire pack of . After Luke locks Jace in an office, he calls Clary, who comes along, bringing Simon with her to talk some since into Jace. Since Jace will not let Simon come in, he meets Maia, a teenage werewolf.
The Inquisitor thinks that Jace knew the entire time he was not Michael Wayland’s son. She thinks that he was a spy for Valentine. When Jace denies knowing that he was brought up by Valentine, the Inquisitor throws him in prison in the lowest layer of the Silent City. While Jace is there, Valentine reeks havoc, killing the Silent Brothers and stealing the Mortal Sword.
The book City of Ashes, the second book of the Mortal Instruments series, should be read by all. The book contains demons, action, violence, and love. On a scale of one to ten this book should get a nine, because it is not perfect, but exceptionally well written.

City of Bones
How would you like to find out that demons exist and pretty much every fairy-tale is true? How would you like to find out that you were born a shadow-hunter, demon-hunter, when all your life you thought that you were an ordinary mundane? Cassandra Clare’s City of Bones captures a teenager’s finding out that she that she was born a demon hunter in an epic, page-turning fun sort of way.
Pandemonium, a club for all ages, finds itself the sight of a murder, but not just any murder, the murder of a teenage boy. At least Clary thought, it was a teenage boy until she found out the identity of the people that killed him. Clary goes home and her mom is worried about her, also, springing a surprise vacation on Clary. When Clary refuses to go, she goes to a poetry reading with Simon, her mom winds up disappearing. Suddenly, Clary finds herself pulled into the world of demons, forsaken, down-worlders, and shadow- hunters for no reason anyone can find out.
A theme in this book is taking a stand. The Shadow hunters take a stand against the evil of the world. The marks burn across a shadow hunter’s skin serve as protection, skill builders, and practically everything, a rune can be found for because or almost everything. Whenever something goes amiss, the shadow hunters solve the problem. One reason the shadow hunters are demon hunters is, because the legend says the blood of man and the blood of angel was mixed to form the first shadow hunter.
Anyone who loved Twilight will absolutely adore City of Bones and the rest of the mortal instruments series. On a scale of one to ten this book deserves a twelve. I know anyone who reads this book will absolutely love it.

Time I took stand
When I was little, everyone bullied one of my friends very harshly. Instead of bullying her ,also, I treated her nicely. The cool thing to do was to hurt her feelings. She was not able to afford some of the things that everyone else was able to afford, so other people made fun of he raggedy, stained too big clothes taunting her endlessly.
She did not smell very nice so every one held their noses when around her, telling her she smelled bad. Her hair was always ratty and oily and she was always asked if she ever washed it. They were always tormenting her with a long excruciating string of insults.
No one played with her, because like kids tend to do they acted like she had cooties and if they played with her she would infect them with some fatal disease that was not curable. My sister and I played with her. Instead of bullying her my sister and I were the only ones to accept her for who she was, because we knew that she could not help it, what her parents could afford.
When she turned into a bully, instead of being mean right back, I treated her with as much kindness as I could. Even though she was not the best person and had unfortunate circumstances, we had no right to bully her.
What would you do if you could not afford what was popular and had to suddenly lose friends because they would not accept you for who you are? Would you take it in stride? Would you not let it affect you emotional health? Would you suddenly get a wake-up call because you had treated others the way your friends are treating you? Do you give people the respect that they deserve or judge a book by its cover.
If you are treating others with disrespect, then it is not to late to quit. Do not judge a book by its cover. When you meet someone get to know them before making decisions about them. Even though someone may not have the nicest material possessions, that does not mean they do not have a rich personality. Think about your actions, because you never know when the tables will turn. Life happens and you could be at rock bottom tomorrow.

Admire for Taking Stand
Who you be willing to give up your seat on the bus just because someone else wanted it? Rosa Parks was not willing to give up her seat on a crowded bus to a white person, even though whites were supposed to get the front seats and blacks the back. Rosa Park’s refusal to give up her seat got her thrown in jail.
I admire Rosa Parks for her courage. She stood up for what she believed in even after being thrown in jail, she started the Montgomery bus boycott, where blacks refused to ride the bus and carpooled. Eventually her hard work paid off the buses in Montgomery were desegregated. Rosa Parks was one of the chief leaders of the civil rights movement in my opinion.
Rosa Parks was a leader and a role model. If you do not think that you are strong enough to take a stand look at what she did. I admire Rosa Parks for her courage and her taking a stand. Would you be willing to take stand like that or would you stick to the normal every day way of life, accepting what is not what could be?
