mice & men themes (UGH!)
Candy and his dog represent, death, sickness and even the ending of dreams. Although they are old and uesless doesn't mean they can't be cured from sickness and off life support, and it surely doesn't mean they can't have dreams. However, Candy for example is a perfect example. He makes plans with George and Lennie, but his dreams cease when Lennie kills Curly's wife and everything is forced down hill. I guess things don't work out in your favor, when you over think things.
In conclusion, Of Mice and Men is a mega awesome novel filled with symbols that represent or reflect a character. This book is a must read because it's filled with loads of english class appliances that any teacher would want their student to read. Trust me, you don't want to upset them, you know english teachers and their lessons on symbols...

Chapter 3- Shut up and drive
Dalton and he had to take Mary any were that she wonted to go and she just turned into another person she stared smoking and she asked Bigger was he going to tell.
I think that Richard Wright wrote this part in the book because he people have to personality for example Mary was a good girl when she was in the house with her family but when she is by her self she gets drunk and smoke
Chapter 2 - Nightstick 29-31
I think that Richard Wright wrote this part in the book because he was trying to be funny an tell what boys talk about and do when there girl friends are not around and what boy talk like and how they act.
Chapter 1- Get down or laydown
I think this part was made because he wonted to let people know that even if you are big and you try to act big but there is always a weak spot in you that you are always scared of something and but you have to act big in font of your friends so they think that you are not scared of anything.

Personally, I don’t think that religion should be banned from school. However, I don’t believe that we should be forced into religion in school or have mandatory classes on religion. Don’t get me wrong I am a Christian but I could see where people against religion in schools are coming from because, well… It hasn’t been proven.
I believe that If a teacher is Muslim and is a women they should be able to wear their kemars, vials and over garments while teaching. I don’t believe that they should have to take it off. I think that teachers should be able to teach religion in classrooms without persuading or leading students in believing what that teacher believes in. I believe that because just because it is a religion people should still know about it.
