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

Question 1: Write a list of all the characters in this story and describe what type of person they are.

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.

Mark Twain

Mark Twain is just a fake name, his real name is Samuel Langhorne Clemens.He was an humanist, writer, humorist and lecturer.  His most famous work is Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

Samuel Langhorne was born in Florida, Missouri. At November 30, 1835. Missouri is south west of Illinoi.

In Samuel’s late life he got much depression, which began in 1896 when his favorite daughter Susy died of meningitis. Meningitis is an bacterial infection in the meningeal surrounding the brain.

Mark Twain died of a heart attack on April 21, 1910 in Redding Connecticut. Mark Twain got buried in his wife’s family plot in Elmira, New York. Mark Twain got rich through his writing, but spent most of it in bad investments.

Mark Twain used the last twenty years of his life as an ¨outspoken anti imperialist and anti-capitalist¨. That means he was working against the development that maid the large nations and global companies. Maybe he did this because the poor nations and the poor people suffered because of this development… Who knows?=)
