John Steinbeck Symbolize Curley's Wife

Did he really have bloodstained hands? Did he really stab his father? All those questions were probably running through his head when he decided he wanted to make Boo Radley come out. Dill wanted Boo to come out so he could satisfy his curiosity about the infamous Radley. Everything that was known about the Radley’s was negative; Mr. Radley was taciturn whenever he was seen in town and “bought cotton” for a living, Boo was a criminal, and the family did not go to church (pg.

There, the two hunt and fish while Pap drinks booze. Huck finds a saw and was close to escaping the cabin when his father came back. Pap started to complain about the government and how they were hypocrites and liars for postponing the trial for Huck’s money and how he might lose his own son. He felt like he has no freedom while an African American, who’s supposed to be a servant, does.

Crooks knew he would never get a chance at a dream even though he wished it could because of the big guy. The author uses crooks loneliness in differentness to the other friendships. When Crooks and Lennie are in the barn, Crooks explains to Lennie that “a guy gets too lonely an’ he gets sick”(73), talking about himself. Steinbeck was trying to make Crooks appear completely different to George and Lennie’s characters. While George and Lennie have each other, Crooks only has his books, and even those books don’t make him happy, he says, “ain’t no good.

The ad of the house in the paper symbolizes the American Dream but the house in reality symbolizes deceit as Jurgis finds out that the ad is untruthful and misleading. The helpless hogs on the conveyor belt foreshadow Jurgis’s powerless future since he is unable to overcome life in the lower class due to various hardships. Sinclair’s use of word choice helps portray the ugliness of human existence for allowing the distribution of poorly sanitized meat, and the struggles of living in society’s lower class in

This quote also connects back to Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men, and the character Crooks because of his race other workers on the ranch treat him differently. He is separated from other workers, and he also can’t go in the bunkhouse where all the other guys stay. Other workers on the ranch use offending words to describe him. In Chapter 2, Candy describes Crooks using this quote “The guys wouldn’t let him use his feet, so that nigger got him. If he coulda use his feet, Smitty says he woulda killed the nigger” (Steinbeck 20).

Candy's dog is also old and useless and Carlson was having enough always telling him to take it outside because it smelled so bad and to also kill it because it's useless,. But one day they were inside the cabin playing cards and Carlson finally persuades Candy to kill the dog.

Ever since Moon Shadow was a little boy he wanted to go to the Golden Mountain. But his mother didn’t allow him to, only his father would leave home to work in the demon land. Growing up his mother would never answer any of his questions about the demon land. But the reason she would never talk about it was because she was scared. Finally after a while his grandmother started to feel sorry for him and told Moon some things about the Golden Mountain.

Salves in America were treated very poorly, Crooks is an example of this because he is forced to sleep in the barn while the other workers sleep in cabins. His social status limits him from interactions with other people and he expresses his feelings in chapter 4, "A guy needs somebody-to be near him.' He whined, 'A guy goes nuts if he ain't got nobody. Nobody never gets to heaven, and nobody gets no land." Crook’s bad circumstances and grim reality make him a difficult person to interact with and befriend, and this is shown when Lennie tries to talk with him and Crooks keeps pushing him away with unkindness.

He symbolizes the older generation, the critics of any new rebellion because he could care less about Napoleon and Animal Farm and so can the older generation. Mr. Jones is often an indigent drunk farmer who owns the Manor Farm, now called Animal Farm. He is depicted as Czar Nicholas II, the last of the Czars, as both were unpopular leaders who had no connections or intentions of ruling their country or farm. According to Shmoop, Nicholas II got Russia involved in World War I and could not manage to handle the situation, therefore, causing a strike to happen in 1917. Eventually, him, his wife, and children left to Ekaterinburg, and the Bolsheviks took over, whereas Jones comes back drunk from Red Lion pub, and forgets to feed the animals where he tries to whip the animals into submission but it does not work.

When the ranchers went to town and left the outcasts behind, Crooks’s character and role in society are developed through the dialogue between the people who are left behind along with him. Soon after Lennie walks into Crooks’s room, Candy joins the men in the stable which Crooks protests as he tries ”to conceal his pleasure with anger” (Steinbeck 75). Being African American has given Crooks a hard life, as he does not get to take part in the activities of the other ranchers like heading to town or playing cards. At the time, many African Americans suffered from the same problems of isolation from society, for there was no civil rights movement to give them equal respect, pay, or authority as other people. Even today, racism is a major issue
