The Representation Of George In 'It's Full Of Everything'

George and all readers learn from this story about the merciless and callous effect the human nature has on mankind. The general theme of the novella highlights the voracious and often malevolent aspect of human nature. The novella in its essence flails at the idea of ‘every man for himself’. George learns many lessons throughout the book that can be applied to a reader’s everyday life. Loyalty and Sacrifice

Parents often say, “Listen to your elders.” This cliché can make some people apathetic, but when looking back, most appreciate the wisdom of their elders. The knowledge imparted to children is crucial for their ability to understand and improve the world. In XIV by Derek Walcott, the speaker uses imagery, metaphor, and other literary devices to convey the storyteller’s significance to his life.

George was a blond haired young man, with a long, distinct face, tapered cheekbones, and a firm chin. His green eyes were large and clearly unique, placed perfectly underneath his bushy, rectangular eyebrows. The thinly plucked eyebrows of his face flowed exquisitely with the curved hunch of his striking eyes. His body was scrawny and fatigued now, and his mind, abused after constant drug use, was mostly numb. His silvery, booming voice was very distinguishable, especially among his generous peers. His vivid, luxurious valuables indicated a successful business man, and a successful, hardworking business man George was.

Clarence gave George his book, and in it was written: "Remember no man is a failure who has friends. That was a lesson that George learned. His friends helped him in a time of need, just like George had done for them their whole lives. George learned that he really did have a wonderful life.

GEORGE: I’m celebrating because I’ve got a friend who tells me all the things that

The development of George affects the family as a whole. First, George, Rameck and Sam decide to listen to a recruiter from Seton Hall University giving a presentation in the library because they don’t feel like stay in the class when their teacher told that they could decide to leave or stay. They were goofing off and half listening. The recruiter said that Seton Hall was dedicated to train students to enter medicine as the doctor through a program that gives free tutoring, counseling and other support. The EOP(Educational Opportunity Program) was designed to make higher education for poor students who have the ability to succeed in college. “I could hardly believe my ears. I thought to myself: Free college. Free tutoring. Help getting into

After George saves Clarence from drowning, Clarence reveals to George and the Tollkeeper that he tricked George into saving him: “I didn’t fall in. I jumped in to save George” (Capra, It’s a Wonderful Life). Clarence’s assertion confirms his awareness of George’s ethical value, knowing George would save him and this would prevent him from suicide. Soon after, George wishes he had never been born and Bedford Falls transforms into Pottersville. Now in Pottersville, people do not know George Bailey and they treat him poorly, unable to perceive his ethical value. Stopping by what was Martini’s and is now Nick’s Place, Nick does not recognize George when he calls him by his name: “What’s that got to do with it? I don’t know you from Adam’s off ox” (Capra, It’s a Wonderful Life). Nick does not know George and this contributes to his and Clarence’s being tossed from the bar. Walking through the streets, George takes in all that Bedford Falls becomes without him and the Building and Loan. The ethics of the small town has been replaced with flashy lights, pawnshops, glitzy theaters, and crude people to fill it. On his ride with Bert in his police car, George learns what has come of Bert’s life: “I live in a shack in Potter's Field and my wife ran away three years ago and took the kid...And I ain't never seen you before in my life, see?” (Capra, It’s a Wonderful Life). Without the Building and Loan, people like Bert do not get homes and are forced to live in “Potter’s Field,” making him crass and unprincipled, as evidenced by his firing his gun into an open crowd. Like the others, Bert does not recognize George nor understand his ethics; he wishes to put George in a mental

One thing that George was used too, was change. When he went on his traveling adventures, got different jobs, and met new people; he wasn’t afraid. George liked to travel the world, so he could experience what the world had to offer. George visited New Orleans, Canada, and many other places. He went to these places because he couldn’t experience snow, different cultures, and no segregation in Texas. George got a new job everywhere went, so he could get enough money to leave and go somewhere else. George always met someone who he would befriend, because he was easy to get along with and everyone who was around him had an enjoyable time.

Lennie remains optimistic through his disabilities by staying confident and knowing that if he can reach his goals, George can as well. When George needs something, Lennie is there for him because he knows they have a special bond. Lennie also needs good advice from George because, without it, he is incapable of making the right decisions for his future. George and Lennie’s bond for each other is very strong, “Together, they form a family unit” (Siegel).George and Lennie demonstrate how they try to achieve their goals by working together. Ultimately, George and Lennie’s complement each other well, providing their opposite strengths in situations in order to help them lead a better life.

As the story nears the end the past catches up with the present and it goes on to describe George’s dedicated student lifestyle. He writes: “Every morning I get up and I wonder what I might learn that day. You just never know.” George also reflects on the attitude of people these days: “People worry too much. Life is good, just the way it is.”

Lastly, the most important thing in George’s life is the beauty of music. He has a nightmare in the middle of the night, about what could have happened to the music room, “The monster clawed to shreds the heads of the biggest drum in the state. Helmholtz woke up howling”. He headed to the school, there he reflected on the beauty of his instruments, “As he polished he could hear the great horns roaring, could see them flashing in the sunlight, with the stars and stripes and the banner of Lincoln high going before”. In the lab next door, there was

George Milton is a hard- working man who travels beside Lennie, yet he would rather travel by himself. He would not have to worry about anyone but himself. He travels with Lennie, and we often find him telling Lennie how much better off he could be without him. One simple reaction to Lennie sets George off on a rant enough to say,

George’s good nature can be seen through the way he takes Lennie under his wing. For George, there is no benefits that come from taking care of Lennie, he just does it out of the goodness in his heart. An example of this can be seen when George helped Lennie escape out of the town of Weed, in which Lennie had been accused of rape for clutching onto a girl’s dress. Unlike Lennie, George does not have any mental disability and can perfectly function by himself. This is the aspect that makes him such a good person, because taking care of Lennie is just like dragging around a ball and chain. George could be living a much better life on his own without Lennie. To prove this, George even says it himself when talking to Lennie: “God you’re a lot of trouble. I could get along so easy and so nice if I didn’t have you on my tail. I could live so easy and maybe have a girl” (OM&M 7). Despite these words, George still takes care of Lennie because George knows that without his guidance, Lennie would be left to be taken advantage of out in the dangerous world. From George’s devotion to Lennie, it is shown that one who is good will guide others, even if it means sacrificing something he could have

George does feel at times he is better and can accomplish more. While thinking about his job interview and the fact that it is only a "junior position," he feels "his necessity would make him bitter, but thankful." When he decides he needs to lie about his education at the interview he "laughs at own cleverness of nuance and logic," and thinks that "no one is Toronto would know the difference." George used big words like decrepitude and often corrected his actress roommate on

Famed actor Johnny Depp portrays the character of young George. The story starts out with the young life of George and the many attempts by his mother to try to leave the family because of scarcity of money; eventually the family suffered bankruptcy. From a young age, George’s father taught him that
