John Steinback’s ‘Of Mice and Men’ Essay

John Steinbacks ‘Of Mice and Men’ is a story of two voyaging laborers in the brutal sorrow long periods of 1930s America. Steinback utilizes a ‘Cyclical Structure’ after completing the book I saw numerous similitudes between the first and last part. The main similitude was the area. In Chapter One Steinback makes reference to an abandoned spot almost a non-streaming pool, and afterward presents both Lennie and George, the equivalent occurs in the last section yet this time Lennie is separated from everyone else having fled from the farm. Lennie is appeared to the perusers as dimwitted thus Steinback utilizes this to a favorable position; ‘His gigantic partner dropped his covers and flung himself down and drank from the outside of the green pool; drank with long swallows, grunting into the water like a horse†¦ Lennie plunged his entire head under, cap and all, and afterward he sat up on the bank and his cap dribbled down on his blue coat and ran down his back†¦ Lennie fiddled his large paw in the water and squirmed his fingers so the water emerged in little sprinkles; rings broadened over the pool to the opposite side and returned once more, Lennie watched them go. ‘Look George. Look what I done.’ Ste inback makes reference to the drinking of the pool water later in Chapter Six. The second likeness that I saw was of the fantasy that Lennie and George shared. Much the same as a little youngster, Lennie likes the possibility of their fantasy and requests it to be rehashed on various events. The most noteworthy occasions are referenced in the book; toward the starting where the two of them feel that they can accomplish the fantasy and toward the end, not long before George shoots Lennie. Lennie has this ‘problem’ where once he clutches to something he can’t let go. In Chapter One George and Lennie are fleeing from a farm in Weed, due to Lennie clutching a girl’s red silk dress, as he felt the silk, the young lady imagined that she would have been explicitly attacked thus terrified. She ran off to tell the other farm laborers giving George and Lennie time to run off. In the Last Chapter Lennie runs from the Soledad farm to the brush territory since he murdered Curley’s spouse. Enduring Lennie’s terrible conduct, George feels pressurized thus says that he could live significantly better without Lennie; ‘Why, I could remain in a feline house throughout the night. I could eat wherever I need, lodging or wherever, and request any damn thing I could think of.’ This is totally referenced in Chapter One and in the last part George’s sentiments are spoken to by Lennie’s visualization as Aunt Clara; ‘ And then from out of Lennie’s head there came a little fat elderly person. She wore thick bull’s-eye glasses and she wore an immense gingham cover with pockets, and she was treated and clean. She remained before Lennie and put her hands on her hips, and glared disapprovingly at him. What's more, when she talked, it was in Lennie’s voice. ‘ I tol’ you an’ tol’ you,’ ‘ I tol’ you â€Å"Min’ George on the grounds that he’s such a decent fella an’ great to you† But you don’t never take no consideration. You do terrible things. † You never give an idea to George, he’s been doin’ pleasant things for you alla time. At the point when he got a piece a pie you generally got half or more’n half†¦ All the time he coulda had such a decent time in the event that it wasn’t for you. He woulda took his compensation an’ created an uproar in a whorehouse, and he coulda set in a poolroom an’ played snooker. Be that as it may, he got the opportunity to deal with you.’ Realizing that he has accomplished something awful this time, Lennie reflects back the whole saying’s that him and George said before going to chip away at the farm in Soledad. From the Ketchup contention Lennie takes steps to leave George and move up into the mountains, once more in the last section he takes steps to go off into the caverns to ‘Aunt Clara’. Steinbacks utilization of language depicting the water snake and the heron gives the peruser a mysterious message; If your not cautious something terrible may occur, and simply like the watersnake being gotten by the heron, the watersnake speaks to Lennie and the heron speaks to George.
