Of Mice and, Men. (2)

I think that the other people think Lennie is a retard, or a weakling somehow they don’t know he is trerrible strong and, dumb…Yet! I choosed to say this because it’s what I am thinking.

Of mice and, Men. (1)

We know George and, Lennie have been working/traveling together for a while since George says that Lennie always get them in some-kinda trouble. Since it seems like they’ve have many job’s together. It also says that they’ve known each other for a long time, so more than enough for me to belive in.

Viscious Circle

Elaine – Elaine is a good person, though she is the one caught in a viscious circle. She is hanging around with friends that have bad influence on her. The leader of her friend-gang make she do anything she donsen’t like

Cordelia – She is to put it simple cruel. She can’t stand being made fun of, and she bosses others around. She makes Elaine do things she doesn’t want to do. She is dependant on her friends.

Carol – She is not as bad as the others. She is at the bottom a good person, but is bossed around, just as Elaine. Carol cares for others, and she takes things seriously. I think it would be best for her if she found her some other friends.

Grace – It’s not to much about her, but from we see she is basically Cordelia’s puppet. Cordelia’s opinion is her opinion, and she does what Cordelia tells her to do.

Elaine’s Mother – She cares for Elaine, and she knows that her friends are not good for her. That why it wasn’t hard for her to tell who threw Elaine’s hat from the bridge even if Elaine did not tell her.

Death in the Barn – Page 124.

Lennie got the same problem as The Hulk, Hercules and lots of other people/machines in fairy tales and movies etc. I think Lennie is a harmless guy but he is to dumb to learn how to handle his own strenght in a reasonable way. Curly and his wife could try to make Lennie know his own strenght But how can they learn a man with a massive strenght to control it… I think the only thing that would work is that Lennie start using he’s brain. Otherwise they could try to crush Lennie’s muscles  some way by let lennie sleep, and give him not healthy food… and after a while he’s muscles would be transformed into fat.

Little Red Ridinghood (* Remake *)

Little Red Riding Hood

  

Once upon a time there lived in a certain village a little country girl, the prettiest creature who was ever seen. Her mother was excessively fond of her; and her grandmother doted on her still more. This good woman had a little red riding hood made for her. It suited the girl so extremely well that everybody called her Little Red Riding Hood.

One day her mother, having made a gun, said to her, “Go, my dear, and see how your grandmother is doing, for I hear she has been very ill. Take her a gun, and this bucket with bullets she might need em.”

Little Red Riding Hood set out immediately to go to her grandmother, who lived in another village.

As she was going through the wood, she met with a wolf, who had a very great mind to eat her up, but he dared not, because of some woodcutters working nearby in the forest. He asked her where she was going. The poor child, who did not know that it was dangerous to stay and talk to a wolf, said to him, “I am going to see my grandmother and carry her a gun and a bucket with bullets from my mother.”

“Does she live far off?” said the wolf

“Oh I say,” answered Little Red Riding Hood; “it is beyond that mill you see there, at the first house in the village.”

“Well,” said the wolf, “and I’ll go and see her too. I’ll go this way and go you that, and we shall see who will be there first.”

The wolf ran as fast as he could, taking the shortest path, and the little girl took a roundabout way, entertaining herself by gathering nuts, running after butterflies, and gathering bouquets of little flowers. It was not long before the wolf arrived at the old woman’s house. He knocked at the door: tap, tap.

“Who’s there?”

“Your grandchild, Little Red Riding Hood,” replied the wolf, counterfeiting her voice; “who has brought you a gun and a bucket with bullets sent you by mother.”

The good grandmother, who was in bed, because she was somewhat ill, cried out, “Pull the bobbin, and the latch will go up.”

The wolf pulled the bobbin, and the door opened, and then he immediately fell upon the good woman and put her into the wardrobe, for it been more than three days since he had seen AFV ( Americas funnest home videos. He then shut the door and got into the grandmother’s bed, expecting Little Red Riding Hood, who came some time afterwards and knocked at the door: tap, tap.

“Who’s there?”

Little Red Riding Hood, hearing the big voice of the wolf, was at first afraid; but believing her grandmother had a cold and was hoarse, answered, “It is your grandchild Little Red Riding Hood, who has brought you a gun and a bucket whit bullets in..”

The wolf cried out to her, softening his voice as much as he could, “Pull the bobbin, and the latch will go up.”

Little Red Riding Hood pulled the bobbin, and the door opened.

The wolf, seeing her come in, said to her, hiding himself under the bedclothes, “Put the Gun and the bucket with bullets upon the stool, and come get into bed with me.”

”No thanks Granny I’ll watch TV with you”. Little Red Riding Hood whispered loud She was greatly amazed to see how her grandmother looked in her nightclothes, and said to her, “Grandmother, what big arms you have!”

“All the better to pull the Buttons at the TV with, my dear.”

“Grandmother, what big legs you have!”

“All the better to use when going to the toilet, my child.”

“Grandmother, what big ears you have!”

“All the better to hear the TV with, my child.”

“Grandmother, what big eyes you have!”

“All the better to see the TV with, my child.”

“Grandmother, what big tail you have got!”

“All the better to push you away with.”

And, saying these words, this wicked wolf  Turned on the TV…
