Victor is the type of person that cannot handle responsibility well. We first see this in Chapter 3, after his mother’s death, “My mother was dead, but we had still duties which we ought to perform; we must continue our course with the rest and learn to think ourselves fortunate whilst one remains whom the spoiler has not seized.”

They can push you to reach more goals or lead you to make impetuous decisions. It is our choice whether we allow them to help us or harm us. People look to dreams and goals for a drive; hope. These dreams can bring people together or tear them apart. John Steinbeck’s novel, Of Mice and Men, illustrates the story of two migrant farm workers striving to reach their dream of owning a farm.

Yet, despite a strong sense of animosity towards the farm, Maddie, at the end of the story, gives up her individual body to be a part of the farm. Why did Maddie 's perception of the farm change? Laurel Bollinger would explain Maddie 's change in perception by stating that her personality was more inclined to join the farm. In "Symbiogenesis, Selfhood, and Science Fiction," Bollinger examines the notion of symbiogenesis, the process in which organisms combine to form "an entirely new organism", and its appeal (Margulis in Bollinger 43). She would conclude that Maddie always had qualities that made her predisposed to "plural selfhood," which Bollinger defines as having multiple selves combined into one body (Bollinger 43).

To be our brothers and sisters keeper means that we have to watch out for them and care about even if it 's not our favorite thing to do but we do it because we care about them.

A Backstory and Examination of Frankenstein's Obsessive Nature In order to understand why Victor runs from his inner conflict brought upon by himself and others, it is important to examine the event that established his obsessive nature early in his adolescence. Victor speaks of his childhood very highly, he says that his parents were present in his life and loving, so what could be the problem? Enter Elizabeth.

that takes place in the story of Don Quixote. When the narrator talks about how Don Quixote is going to ask his neighbor, Sancho Panza, to become his quire he says that, “..Don Quixote approached a farmer who was a neighbor of his, a good man—if that title can be given to someone who is poor..” (Cervantes, 69).

I created the Job Posting as a way to represent the needs for different trades when settling Virginia. Most likely people would have heard about the opportunity to move by word of mouth, but I felt that a Job Posting would affectively show the need for different types of trades in America. I used images of John White’s water color paintings of Virginia and the Native American Tribe Secotan (Nadie’s homeland) to help make a connection to the story. In A World Away people of different occupations were needed to travel to the New World to help establish a colony. Tom was allowed to follow Nadie back to her land because he was a blacksmith and he was needed.

As the French poet Anatole France once said, “To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe,” and Jason Silva, “There 's always going to be the circumstances you can 't plan for. There 's always the unexpected relevance and the serendipity” (“Plan Quotes”). In the novella Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, two migrant workers are featured in the Great Depression, George Milton and Lennie Small. With all the odds stacked against them, the two men head towards Salinas, California with a plan in mind to own their own piece of land. The most prevalent theme displayed by Steinbeck throughout the book entails; when unexpected situations arise, current plans are no longer attainable.

He also said that he plans to get a Master 's in Alternative Energy following his Peace Corps time. I asked him why he thought it was important to participate in community agriculture, and he cited the "dire situation of the Earth." He believes that sometime in our generation, the planet will either go on a trajectory of depopulation, starvation, and desertification or a trajectory of renewing equilibrium. Sam is hopeful for the future because he believes that places like the Homeless Garden Project indicate that "there are people out there thinking these things. " It is a "manifestation of the recognition of a problem, and a sincere desire to change the course of history."
