Keating must have wanted them playing with his soul then. Because when a person becomes what people want him to be he opens up his soul to be influenced. When a person gives pieces of your soul to too many people he is left with an empty shell. In effect that person becomes a virus, living off the souls of others but never re-obtaining a soul for himself. As a “virus” Keating would “ .....

.... have a girl.” George’s job is to work on a ranch “bucking grain bags bustin’ a gut.” Primarily, that is his official job, but the most important of them all is to watch his simple-minded friend, Lennie. George has to speak for Lennie, lest he slip away and give the reason why they ran out of weed. In the beginning of the book, the first impression is that George is harsh with Lennie, but in terms of the entire novel, we might say that he was, if anything, not strict enough. George and Lennie have created a dream of their having a place someday, and a reas .....

.... of his life. The turning point of his life was when he first wrote a comedic piece for a friend for a local radio station.

.... this case, the plot develops to the point where their dream seems more attainable with Candy’s involvement. But here lies the tragedy of this classic novel. Their dream turned into a cliché of a line in Robert Burns’ poem where he writes that “the best-laid schemes o’ mice an’ men gang aft agley.” Their dream seemed it would become a success until a tragic event brought failure. The novel brings about the question of whether or not human life has a purpose. The reader may ask himself if a person’s purpose in life is only to kill and be killed. One may questi .....
