The absence of hope is shown through the mother's death and the dull setting of the novel. The mother is an example of how her absents of hope caused her death. “As for me my only hope is for eternal nothingness and i hope it with all my heart“(57). The mother said this in a flashback the man had after the boy said he wanted to be with her. This show that she knows that if they stay, they will be raped, killed, and perhaps eaten and she would rather commit suicide than let that happen to her. This matters because humans need to have something to live for in something in order to achieve a goal. Another example of an absenceof hope is the setting

The biggest belief that Chris McCandless has is that trust is essential to have a relationship with someone. This idea became clear to me in chapter twelve when I saw the quote that McCandless had highlighted in his book saying, “Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. I sat at a table where rich food and wine in abundance, an obsequious attendance, but sincerity and truth were not; and I went away hungry,” and then the author mentions that McCandless wrote the word “truth” at the top of the page (page 117). From the fact that McCandless wrote and highlighted these words means that the quote is important, and the word truth was significant to him. Therefore, I can see that McCandless agrees with this quote and values truth more than any amount of money or love. Truth is something obviously something McCandless cant live without and I think this is because of his relationship with his dad. McCandless’s father wasn’t truthful with his family in chapter twelve when the author said, “Long after falling in love with Billie, long after she gave birth to Chris, Walt continued his relationship with Marcia in secret, dividing his time between two households” (page 121). In this quote we can see that

This quote shows that Holden wanted to have a drink with a girl. He didn’t just try once, after he tried to be with Valencia, Holden went and called Sally Hayes.

Have you ever felt sad and gloomy, but also felt extremely happy in the same day? I believe that electric indigo is the best color to represent the book Of Mice and Men because it represents sadness, happiness, bravery, and excitement. The indigo represents the sadness and fear when Lenny ran away from the farm. The indigo also represents the sadness and bravery of George when George shot Lenny. The Electric represents the excitement, happiness, and hope when George and Lenny were on their way to get a fresh start.
