Sweet Story Of Buttercup Sweets By Ernest Milkyway

He tells George that he does not have any relatives, so he would be able to give all of his money to him and Lennie. That is if they let him in on their dream to buy their own house. This shows just how bad Candy wants to get out of that ranch and that he will do anything to not be lonely. Loneliness is shown through Candy because he feels like he does not belong and because he has no other friends except his dog, so he feels secluded from the others.

Candy uses expressions such as 'she got the eye ' and goes on to call her a tart. "Well, I think Curley 's married...a tart". These are the first of many derogatory terms used to describe her.

At an old age and only having one hand, Candy is a person that is easy prey. Candy is an old man who is worried that he may be kicked out of the ranch when he gets too old. He is also made to do things that he does not want to do. Carlson, a worker

Candy sees Curley’s wife would show to be a challenge to everyone from the earliest moments, which he justifies his saying so pointing out the "glove fulla Vaseline". This showed the danger of her, as if her husband finds out how she tries to interact with other men in the ranch, his short temper would be sure to cause trouble, especially when Lennie is around with his uncontrollable strengths.

The character Candy preforms abundant examples of how he is lonely and needs companionship. In the bunkhouse with Slim, Whit, George, and Carlson, is one example. Carlson is suggesting to Curly about his dog, "I'll shoot him for you" (Steinbeck 44). This wording suggests that Carlson is ready to murder Candy's only friend which will motivate him to be secluded and bitter. Through the representations of his feelings Candy presents the belief that he is lonely. Candy is talking with Lennie and George when he says, "They’ll  can me purty

Strawberries are treasured by numerous throughout the world, but feelings may transformation after the unveiling of some dark secrets of strawberry farms. “In the Strawberry Fields” by Eric Schlosser brings up many concerning realities about what life is truly like for strawberry pickers. Many of these farm workers are illegal migrants from Mexico. Because of their illegal status, they are far less probable to go to the authorities with complaints of unfair treatment. Many strawberry field owners are more than willing to take advantage of this. Strawberry pickers are often overworked, poorly paid, and not treated fairly. Most are Mexicans searching for work so

Candy is a character that suffers a lot since the time he is mentioned in the book because he is an old man who didn’t have a hand, and who had an unconditional love to his only true friend, his old dog. He admits to himself that soon he won’t be of use in the ranch when he said, “Soon I won’t be able to swamp out no bunk house” (Steinbeck 59). This quote means that Candy knows that he won’t be able to do his job and that he isn’t doing a good job thanks to his incapability. He feels miserable. However, he feels even more miserable when is left bereft when Carlson killed his dog with the argument that his dog was very old. Therefore, in order to move on

He was an older man that lived in the bunk house, who lost his hand in a work accident. He was considered a swamper, the man who cleans the bunkhouse. In Of Mice and Men, the narrarator implied that "The old man came slowly into the room. He has his broom in his hand."(Steinbeck 24). Candy was seen as old and disabled and not capable of performing certain jobs. Because of this, he was more likely to lose his job. Wealthier people don’t have to worry about money as often, so they experience life a little bit easier. Today, most men have the opportunity to have pretty settle jobs. There are government programs to help support disabled people and also older people, so they don’t have to keep enduring the hard labor that they once had to

She is still the same person she was just a moment ago; snotty, mouthy, and disrespectful. She is shown to have no filter when she says things. Squeaky is referring back to Nursery School when her parents forced her to dress up. She absolutely despised it and thinks “I am not a strawberry. I do not dance on my toes. I run” (Bambara 108). She prides herself on being different from others but does it in a mouthy and unnecessary way. When Squeaky is receiving her pin number from Mr. Pearson, he calls her “Squeaky”. Her thought process is that if she can’t call him Beanstalk, he can’t call her squeaky. “Hazel Elizabeth Deborah Parker, I correct him and tell him to write it down on his board” (Bambara 109). This shows that Squeaky is snotty. She has no problem biting back against anyone and anything. After this, Mr. Pearson tells Squeaky about how Gretchen, her arch nemesis, will give her a “run for her money”, and he even lightly suggests that Squeaky should go easy on her. “I give him such a look that he couldn’t finish that idea into words” (Bambara 109). The fact that Mr. Pearson even nudges the idea of allowing someone else to win makes her offended and furious. Squeaky is even disrespectful towards adults. She is the same person as she was in the beginning and only shows that side of

Just like George and Lennie, Candy was also lonely and alone in the world, “... I ain’t got no relatives nor nothing...” it was a different matter when he

Patronization is Racism In Ernest J. Gaines’s A Gathering of Old Men, each character embodies a different aspect of racism in the South in the 1970s. Whereas Luke Will and Fix are blatant racists who unapologetically discriminate against African Americans, characters like Candy reveal their prejudices when only their authority is threatened. Although Candy acts as an ally to African Americans, her respectful attitude disappears when a person of color disagrees with her.

Candy: Candy injured his hand in a farming accident and lost the use of it. His working career did not go as planned because of this.

He lost his hand in an accident which is a major factor in his isolation as he is unable to work alongside the other men. Candy is powerless and afraid of the future. He does not go into town with the other men or socialize with them much. Also Candy gets really excited at the prospect of joining Lennie and George's dream of the small farm, "And they give me two hundred and fifty dollars 'cause I lost my hand. An' I got fifty more saved up right in the bank right now.

Throughout many works of literature, characters are described to go through a rite of passage, developing the plot and solving conflicts. A rite of passage is when a character goes through life changes, realizing his/her flaws and maturing as a person. Walter Lee Younger is a man that goes through many different character changes, which cause conflict amongst the other characters. Once he goes through his rite of passage, he is able to fix his flaws and mature. In Lorraine Hansberry’s play, A Raisin in the Sun, characterization is used to portray that one must experience a rite of passage in order to mature.

Of Mice and Men The motif of loneliness hits hard at home as the most prominent motif in the novella Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. While George and Lennie have strong feelings of loneliness as the main characters, Candy, Curley’s wife and Crooks receive the strike of some of the utmost level of loneliness even as secondary characters in the novella. Missing an arm, coming in at an age higher than everyone else, and not having any relatives to fall back on separates Candy from the rest of the bunch. Curley’s wife flies solo during her life at the ranch, as the only woman she finds loneliness no matter where she turns. The racial boundaries put in place keep Crooks far away from everyone else, leaving him with a [level] of loneliness
