Chapter one of Of Mice and Men began by introducing the relationship between the two main characters, George and Lennie. George and Lennie have a unique, brotherly, parental, and friendly dynamic that I believe will be interesting to continue to investigate over the course of reading this book. While reading chapter one, we were exposed to more of the parental side of their relationship, specifically in the scene where Lennie is guzzling down river water and George is warning him to slow down or risk feeling sick afterward. In this instance, George acts like a parent by predicting the consequences of Lennie’s actions as opposed to what a bother or a friend might do which is to allow him to drink the water and feel sick afterward. In addition,

Poliomyelitis was a highly infectious disease that spread through many Americans in the early 20th century. As a matter of fact, over 3,000 Americans died of the disease each year. Families were overwhelmingly desperate for doctors to find a cure. When one suffered from polio, they generally experienced painful symptoms which included not only fatigue and muscle weakness, but even death. Therefore, when the polio vaccine was introduced by scientist Jonas Salk in 1953, it greatly contributed to Americans in numerous positive ways. Environmentally, the vaccine saved countless young American lives affected by the disease thus decreasing American mortality rates. Socially, the polio vaccine convenienced families who were either directly afflicted

Roosevelt became president with infantile paralysis (polio), which was diagnosed in 1921, and the public found out.9 Having the American people's president seem weakened by such a disease but push on through expectations showed that little to nothing was going to get in his way and stop him.10 Including FDR's case, close to 25% of those age 21 and older had paralytic cases by the early 1950s.11 Before the vaccine, there was a peak of about 50,000 cases of polio in 1953.12 Concern of the people was also around it's highest point due to the increasing risk of the horrid disease most feared at this time. Hopes for a solution were still going strong. Friends, family, and even strangers kept prayers for those in need. Anything that could be done was done until the vaccine was established.

I chose this particular passage because Crake’s comment about female artists angered me, and I wanted to look further into the rest of the passage. Jimmy’s frustrations with Crake mirror my own when trying to explain the importance of art to strictly science focused people. Crake’s mockery of Jimmy and disinterest truly made me angry in this passage, and I felt a connection to Jimmy desperately trying to defend something important to him. The discussion Jimmy has with Crake in this passage begins when Crake mentions that torment over relationships is needless suffering, and in his vision, humans would be better off being mated for life or completely promiscuous. Jimmy argues that Crake’s idea would take the choice and courtship out of relationships.
