“No cause justifies the deaths of innocent people.” - Albert Camus. The book, Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, negates Camus’s quote. This book is a fictional/tragedy book that results in one of the main character’s death. The two protagonists, George Milton and Lennie Small, get a new job on a ranch in California during the Great Depression.

Most of the characters including Lennie, George, Crooks, and Curley’s wife somehow show that they have once had a sense of loneliness.

"All conflict in literature is, in its simplest form, a struggle between good and evil". This quote by anonymous individual could be explained as; all themes and struggles in literature can be lead down to their most basic forms as conflict of good versus evil.

Cognition is the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses.

As apparent from the data collected, fathers have become substantially involved with their children, even engaging in supposedly and historically feminine and private tasks such as cleaning and feeding. There could be multiple reasons resulting in this outcome for example, Floyd & Morman (2006) shows that fathers that display interest in home and are reserved with the quality of childcare are often married to high-earning wives, making a brilliant point by emphasizing that couples decisions, stay and home fathers and breadwinners mothers experiences, sense of self and interaction are interconnected to construction of the gender roles (Floyd & Morman 2006, p.120). However, it is also present through the comparison of fathers on weekdays and weekends that the private sphere of women fulfilling the domestic labour, whilst fathers are expected to undertake paid work in order to secure their masculinity still remains.

Full time employment results in 47 hours of dedication per week committed to making money, and studies show that this is likely to increase after children are born (Cunningham-Parmeter, 2013). Furthermore, the pattern of family roles is in opposition to the pattern of wage work, as reinforced in the 2008 Bureau labour statistics, which

It appears that there is no great place to be in her story. Reading this story for the first time, the reader could assume Atwood has an obsession with bad relationships, boring average marriages, and death. The key to understanding what the author is trying to convey is realizing how the stories all link together and how they all lack the essence of excitement and desire. The author brings the idea that without focusing on the “how and why” of life and only focusing on the “what, what, what” will leave you with an average
