In Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck shows the recurring theme of rising above circumstances by illustrating the problem of dissatisfaction through the characters Candy, and Lennie.
Lindsey, Ella, and Issy.
ReplyDeleteIn Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck uses Candy's dog to illustrate the truth in loyalty through care, love and protection. This is a prime example of true brotherhood.
Candy and his dog represent brotherhood by Candy raising the dog slice it was a pup. This shows the bond between man and dog.
ReplyDeleteSince, not slice.
DeleteSteinbeck uses Candy to illustrate the consumption of gossip that affects his security and safety, which is one of his basic needs to live. Steinbeck shows this on page 26 between the conversation of Candy, Lennie, and George. One example is "The swamper considered... "Well... tell you what. Curley's like a lot of little guys. He hates big guys. He's alla time picking scraps with big guys. Kind of like he's mad at 'em because he ain't a big guy. You seen little guys like that, ain't you? Always scrappy?"-Candy

I agree with Everett's group and can connect this to real life. Often times many people experience many hard things in life, and as a result, they usually are left feeling down. But, there are people like Candy, who can be positive even after his dog died. He talked of the farm, and his spirits were immediately up again.
ReplyDelete@Ella D: I don't know if it is a relationship of brotherhood or more of a relationship of caretaker and care. Along with a mix of the relationship of a family member.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Everett's group point on how everything can bee found with joy and how Candy finds joy out of everything. He can even find the joy/happiness in the conversation agrument that he had with Lennie, Curleys's wife, and Crooks.
ReplyDeleteIn the novel Kite Runner, the author, Khaled Hosseini, uses a common motif of guilt to illustrate how our past actions resurface and change how we act in the present, and how guilt is a motivator.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your thesis...ours kind of sound the same
DeleteYeah, great minds think alike.
Deletegood idea, maybe use fewer personal pronouns though
DeleteYeah I need to eliminate "our" and "we". Thanks
DeleteI agree with your thesis and I can see the point you were trying to get across.
DeleteIn The Kite Runner, Khaled Hossein uses Assef's brass knuckles to illustrate that the past controls our actions from previous guilt.

DeleteI realized that since you are further in the book my question would be answered there most likely.
DeleteOk thanks Kyra.
DeleteIn The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini uses Rahim Khan to demonstrate that Americans are taught many false ideas about the Taliban and the Middle East. He wants to inform people that there are many perspectives inside the Middle East, because people only see the one perspective of hatred.
ReplyDeleteGood thesis. Also you could relate it to present Islamophobia.
DeleteThrough the novel Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini illustrates the importance of a strong moral compass using the main character, Amir.
ReplyDeleteI think he also uses Amir's moral compass (or lack thereof) as a foil to Hassan and also tries to show Amir's search for redemption
DeleteIf Amir had a strong moral compass, would he have still stopped the rape, or would he not have the courage/bravery to act?
DeleteYeah I think I might re word my thesis so it somewhat includes that idea.
DeleteIn the novel Kite Runner, the author Khaled Hosseine Illustrates the effect that guilt can have on someone and how guilt can shape us into different people for better or for worse.

DeleteThanks for fixing it!
DeleteYou spelled his last name wrong.
