    “To be, or not to be?” in one piece? In John Steinbeck's novel “Of Mice and Men,” made into an enduringly popular movie, the lines about the rabbits have became emblems for the whole relationship between George and Lennie -- the quiet-spoken farm laborer and the sweet, retarded cousin he has taken under his arm. I would not have thought I could believe the line about the rabbits one more time, but this movie made me do it, as Lennie asks about the farm they'll own one day, and George says, yes,

    Does George do the right thing? George does the right thing by finding Lennie by brush where they camped and told him to imagine the farmland they were going to have before he shot him down. My first reason for George doing the right thing would be Curley would have shot him in the gut. Curley said, “ I’m gonna shoot the guts outta that big bastard myself, even if I only got one hand”. To me, this sounds like Curley is going to make Lennie suffer for busting his hand and killing his wife. So George

    What do you think Steinbeck says about the theme of friendship in Of Mice and Men? Of Mice and Men describes the life of a man and his best friend who has the mentality of a child.

Every time George and Lennie obtain a job, Lennie gets in trouble and they are

    After reading and listening to the lyrics of Queen Latifah’s “Evil That Men Do”, a connection to gender and race identity is all but significant. The only line that truly provokes my mind in the regarding gender identity is the repetition of “the Evil That Men Do” and, even then, the issue of gender identity doesn’t appear to be of much concern. The line just comes off as a pointed finger. Still, the third stanza does target gender identity specifically – maybe, indirectly, racial identity as well

    Why Do Men Cheat On Us?

    I am setting out to answer a question that has been plaguing women for many years. Why do men cheat on us? Is it something us women do that causes it? Is it something they are taught is ok somewhere along the way? Does it have to do with the fact that their genitalia are on the outside? Or is there no logical explanation in the universe for it? (I’m leaning towards the last one, but hey, that’s just me.) Men always seem to have an explanation for their behavior, or more likely, an excuse. These
