George and Lennie's friendship is a unique one that is depicted in John Steinbeck's novella, "Of Mice and Men." Despite the challenges they face and the limitations that society places on them, George and Lennie remain loyal to each other and support one another throughout their journey.
At first glance, it might seem that George and Lennie are an unlikely pair. George is small and wiry, while Lennie is large and mentally disabled. However, their differences are exactly what bring them together and strengthen their bond. Lennie relies on George for guidance and support, while George looks after Lennie and protects him from harm.
Despite the difficulties they face, George and Lennie are able to find joy and purpose in their friendship. They share a dream of owning their own piece of land and living off the "fatta the lan'" – a dream that gives them hope and keeps them going despite their difficult circumstances.
In many ways, George and Lennie's friendship is a reflection of the American Dream – the idea that anyone, no matter their background or circumstances, can achieve success and happiness through hard work and determination. While George and Lennie may not have much in terms of material possessions, they have each other and their shared dream, which is more valuable to them than any amount of money or status.
Ultimately, George and Lennie's friendship serves as a reminder of the importance of human connection and the power of loyalty and friendship to overcome adversity. Despite the challenges they face, George and Lennie remain steadfast in their commitment to each other and to their dream, and it is this unwavering support and love that ultimately allows them to persevere.
Jack London, "Love for Life": a brief summary, the main characters
He picked it up quickly with a quick glance around him. Wherefore should he hunger—he and his sinless little ones? The blankets were wet. She flew beyond reach as his hungry hand stretched out to catch her. These stories are a great way of getting acquainted with culture and mentality of Native American tribes. Ker - ker - ker was the cry they made.
Life is a journey that everyone will make. He was afraid, because of his great weakness, that he might fall and sink into the water. The blankets were wet and clammy. He also babbled incoherently of his mother, of sunny Southern California, and a home among the orange groves and flowers. He was not concerned with the land of little sticks, nor with Bill and the cache under the upturned boat by the river Dease. What is uncertain is to when one will die.
It stood crouched, with tail between its legs, like a miserable and woe-begone dog. He did not move for a long while; then he rolled over on his side, wound his watch, and lay there until morning. Late in the afternoon he followed a stream, milky with lime, which ran through sparse patches of rush-grass. The wolf leaped lamely back, losing its footing and falling in its weakness. This time he did not hear the breath. Confrontation with the wolf The most striking pages of the story begin from the moment when the main character meets the wolf - as weak and exhausted as he is. He threw stones at them but could not hit them.
When he had travelled a few minutes it would begin a remorseless thump, thump, thump, and then leap up and away in a painful flutter of beats that choked him and made him go faint and dizzy. He found a weed that tasted sour and he ate all he could find of it, which was not much, for it was a creeping growth, easily hidden under the several inches of snow. Near the horizon the sun was smouldering dimly, almost obscured by formless mists and vapors, which gave an impression of mass and density without outline or tangibility. But he could not stop, for the mother ptarmigan was running on. The sweet meaty taste, thin and elusive almost as a memory, maddened him. He could also see the white sail of a small boat cutting the water of the shining sea. He assured himself of the existence of his three separate portions of matches, although he did not stop to count them.
He felt his way through the wet snow to the watery muskeg berries, and was guided by touch as he pulled up the grass by the roots. And south, still south, they would go, while the winter raced vainly after them, and the ice formed in the eddies, and the days grew chill and crisp, south to some warm Hudson Bay Company post, where timber grew tall and generous and there was grub without end. He had not eaten for two days; for a far longer time he had not had all he wanted to eat. But they sheered clear of him. By the spring he was suffering from advanced scurvy. He saw clearly what his own end might be— unless he could kill the wolf. In the mouth the water melts away and the seed chews sharp and bitter.
The hands had not sufficient strength to choke the wolf, but the face of the man was pressed close to the throat of the wolf and the mouth of the man was full of hair. Thus he thought, and crumpled up and sank down upon the wet earth. He was not concerned with the land of little sticks, nor with Bill and the cache under the upturned canoe by the river Dease. Jack also shoveled coal, pirated oysters, and worked aboard a sealing ship. The content of the story helps us to understand this issue in more detail.
He unwrapped them all and counted them again. Another day of fog. Had it been a well wolf, it would not have mattered so much to the man; but the thought of going to feed the maw of that loathsome and all but dead thing was repugnant to him. Saying that, this dramatic did provide an entertaining level 9 out of 10 for viewing pleasure. It was not yet dark, and in the lingering twilight he groped about among the rocks for shreds of dry moss. This was a cloudy day, and this day hunger waked in him again. It can better be said that day dawned in that quarter of the sky, because the sun was hidden by gray clouds.
Short Story Analysis: The Law of Life by Jack London
He was quite sane, yet he hated those men at mealtime. But he was calmer now and he managed to catch them. And once again he was interested in the land of little sticks and the cache by the river Dease. He did not know when he made camp, when he broke camp. When the fire is lighting Koskoosh is alive and when it is extinguished he dies. He considers her to be careless because she only carried a limited amount of fire wood for Koskoosh.
It was that of another man, who did not walk, but who dragged himself on his hands and knees. I liked this story and his writing in shorter form is as alluring as I first found in his novel. And yet he wanted to live. There was no sun or promise of sun. It was tender on the outside and gave the promise of food. The scientists shook their heads and gave their opinions on the problem. He sat up and turned his attention to immediate affairs.
He knew that it weighed fifteen pounds, - as much as all the rest of the pack, - and it worried him. If anything the females in the story may symbolise the difficulties and hardship that comes with life. What if my brother be not so strong as I? The man watched him go, struggling forward up the hill toward the skyline. His socks were worn through in places, and his feet were bleeding. Though the hunger pangs were no longer so exquisite, he realized that he was weak. It was a far longer time since he had had enough to eat.
