You never oughta drink water when it ain’t running, Lennie,” (3). George is telling Lennie to be careful of the water, because it might not be safe to drink, supporting the claim that he keeps Lennie out of trouble.

Curley's wife is the loneliest character because she is the only women on the ranch.She is the loneliest because Steinbeck writes “What's the matter with me?Ain't I got the right to talk to nobody?”.This proves that she doesn't talk to much people on the ranch and that she wants to talk to people but Lennie says “George says I ain't to have nothing to do with you-talk to you or nothing.”(Steinbeck 87) which also

Troy lost his leadership with Rose and Bono, and now the readers/audience see that he also lost control over his son. While arguing, Cory makes other statements that make Troy feel defenseless. Cory sates, “You ain’t never done nothing for me but hold me back” (2.4.1281). He also says, “It ain’t your yard. You took Uncle Gabe’s money he got from the army to buy this house and then you put him out” (2.4.1282). Troy loses respect from his son, and Cory becomes a person that does not depend on his father

Hidden in the thick covers of the Dark Artist community, creative outlaws thrive in a haven far away from the eagle eyes and talons of the government. The largest, most aggressive, and dangerous clique of them all is of the rap kind.

It wasn't even a real war. But if you were really in the heat of the moment

Papa is determined to make him feel as though as he is. In chapter 1, Cassie mentions that she had once asked Papa why he had to go to away and why the land was so important.

The mother is speaking to her son

began to fade. She says; “Well, I wasn't gonna stay no place where I couldn't get nowhere or make something of myself,” “So I married Curley. Met him out to the Riverside Dance Palace that same night.” "Well, I ain't told this to nobody before. Maybe I oughten to. I don' like Curley. He ain't a nice fella." (5.89). Her dream was destroyed by two things; one being her marriage to Curley because once she married him she was not allowed to pursue her acting career or leave the ranch. It was also destroyed

Sojourner Truth’s speech “Ain't I a Woman” portrays the arduous life that a black woman faces, and her feelings of being stripped from motherhood and the privileges white women enjoy.
