“He lived in a world of wonders, of excitement. He was concupiscent as a rabbit and gentle as hell. And everyone who thought of him thought next, ‘I really must do something nice for Doc.’” Steinbeck admires Doc’s qualities and displays this through his character descriptions. While Doc is not perfect, he is very knowledgeable in the medical field, attracts a lot of women and lives among misfits though he is a higher class gentleman. [Lee Chong] trusted his clients until further trust became ridiculous. Sometimes he made business errors, but even these he turned to advantage in good will if in no other way.” Lee Chong, though a businessman, tends to prefer making good relations with his customers to being a cold money-driven man. He recognizes

When comparing doodle to Christ through symbolizism, in my opinion, there is really no way to really compare, unless your preference of religion allows for hate, disrespect or the ability to ignore the significance of such practice. Doodling is an activity that, for the most part, isn't taken seriously. An artist just draws aimlessly without any thought or serious consideration involved and no real attention invested. So, how can something of the such be compared to something that people give their life and devotion to without a doubt in their mind and also pass down to their families to adopt? I don't see the comparison, it can't be one.
Despite his lack of a medical license or ability to practice medicine, everyone goes to him when they need help. They do not have the luxury of finding a real doctor or going to an actual hospital, so they full-heartedly accept what is available to them without question. Accepting what is available without question is a common theme seen throughout the story.
Leary isolated Chung from the beginning by having him solely manage the Taiwanese market. Instead, Leary should have involved other employees to work on a team with Chung to help develop new business with the Taiwanese market. By building team collaboration, Leary would have helped Chung assimilate into the organization’s culture and feel a part of the team.
First of all the theme can be clearly seen when the novel compares expectations versus reality. The first example is, “In spite of his friendliness and his friends Doc was a lonely and set apart man” (Steinbeck 100). In the beginning of the novel Steinbeck portrays Doc as someone who is friendly and very nice, although deep

Another way, Steinbeck shows How Gorge is a true friend to lennie is through how reliable he is to Lennie. An example of this is Lennie was left alone with Curley's wife in the barn and accidently killed her, by him doing this it made all the workers want to kill him. But instead of them killing Lennie George went off and “pulled the trigger. The crash of the shot rolled up the hills and rolled down again, Lennie jarred, and then settled slowly forward to the sand and lay without Quivering,” (106) This quote shows how Gorge is a true reliable friend because A true friend will do whatever they think is good for you. Just like how George went off and killed lennie, so that way he didn’t have to go through even more hell. This shows readers that
“So you forgot that awready, did you? I gotta tell you again , do I ? Jesus christ, you're a crazy bastard!” George says (4-5). You can infer that the two characters have some issues with each other. In Of Mice And Men, John Steinbeck shows the weaknesses that most of the characters have and the trials they face with those weaknesses. The characters such as Lennie, Crooks and Candy all have something that happens to them in the story that brings out their weaknesses. John Steinbeck portrays the effects that weak people reveal through the characters Lennie, Crooks and Candy.

A hidden voice wasn’t a woman's only problem in the 1930s, but dressing and manners were also of utmost importance. John Steinbeck describes Curley’s wife by saying, “‘Her face was heavily made up”(77). In the 1930s women were expected to always have their face made up before their husband got up and they could also not have a single flaw in it throughout the whole day. The same was not expected of men. Not only could men talk the way they wanted to and to whomever they wanted to but they also did not have to put any effort into looking proper and no one would say anything. “‘She wore her bright cotton dress and the mules with the red ostrich feathers”’(Steinbeck 86). Many women were still expected to wear dresses or skirts in the 1930s, pants
Lee is Cal’s housekeeper and mentor. He is an American born Chinese who pretends to be dumb to go along with the stereotype of his people: “At first he appears as a narrow stereotype of a Chinese servant, but several scenes later he emerges from that disguise as a thoughtful, educated, well-spoken man who has intentionally chosen a life of servitude and obscurity for the multiple benefits it affords him. People are unable (or unwilling) to understand him, he observes, perhaps in part because they are unable to really see him.”(Wyse). Lee himself is a symbol of free will, though he disguises himself as uneducated, he chooses to be smart and live a life to benefit those around him.
Does the media and the amount of exposure to specific news media affect fear of crime? This question is examined in a survey with data collected from three universities in the United States and one in Canada; The Impact of Media on Fear of Crime among University Students: A Cross-National Comparison, goes over the results. It’s believed that fear in itself can be debilitating leading to harmful social outcomes. Vincent Sacco believes there are three dimensions to fear of crime: cognitive, emotional and behavioral. Cognitive looks at a how a person assesses their likelihood of being victimized. Emotional is how someone feels about crime, and behavioral is a person’s response to fear of their perceived likelihood of being victimized.
