of mice and men

of mice and men is about how a man has chosen to become friends with a mentally disabled guy named lenny…..this film shows that in those days all workers had the American dream of kicking back in a farm.In the 1st scene it introduces liny and George getting chased out of their town. The reason for this is Lenny doesn’t understand that girls like their personal space and Lenny thought that touching her dress is fine but in the girls eyes that is sexual harassment. Lenny and George then decide to go to a different town and change their scene by working at a barn house. The boss isn’t convinced that Lenny is capable to work there, but George convinces him. George and Lenny get shown to their bunks and they begin to work. That night they get introduced to all the crew and the boss’s son Curley who then picks on Lenny by saying hurtful things but George tells Lenny to ignore him.The next morning they are getting ready when Curleys wife comes in, she’s stunning with her black hair and flowing sun dress….Lenny says to George that she is beautiful but as George knows he says to stay away from her. Lenny has a fetish for patting things till they die and that’s why George doesn’t want Lenny near the girl.After a few days Lenny wants a puppy so George organises with one of the guys to give Lenny a puppy from their litter but Lenny is suppose to keep it in the barn.knowing lenny he kept sneaking the puppy in. later in the film curly comes into the barn after his wife gave lenny and George $950 towards their dream and starts to beat up lenny, when George tells him(lenny) to “get him” lenny take gorges advice and grabs curleys hand and crunches it till it breaks and bleeds.later on George and the other guys are out playing horse shoes while lenny’s in the barn playing with the puppy when lenny starts to pat it…with lenny not knowing how string he is he accidentally kills the puppy and freaks out, when curleys wife comes into the barn and asks why he did that lenny reply’s with “I like to pat soft things” curleys wife thinking it would be ok asked lenny to pat her hair but when she asked to stop lenny didn’t as he doesn’t understand. When Curleys wife starts to scream Lenny freaks out and breaks her neck killing her instantly. He realises what he has done and runs away in fear to where Lenny told him to go if he’s ever in trouble.later candy a man who works there that only has one hand comes to look for lenny but then see’s curleys wife laying there , thinking she’s just sleeping he goes over to her and says “miss this isn’t a place to have a nap” she doesn’t reply then candy realises….he runs out of the barn and gets George. The both of them come in and know straight away who did it. George realise he’ll get the blame so he walks out of the barn telling candy to get everyone else and bring everyone into the barn and he’ll walk in later. candy does what George says and everyone comes in including curly, asking who did it they then all realised the lenny’s hat on the ground…at that moment curly looks at the hat then turns to everyone and says” let’s get this son of a bitch, where’s my riffle”. George being caring wanted to find Lenny first. He tells candy his plan and runs down the bank to find Lenny; gorge knows exactly where he is and finds him. Lenny is excited to see gorge and makes gorge tell him the story of their dream. George begins, Lenny says over and over again with excitement “and George I’m going to tend the rabbits” and at that moment gorge garbs his hand gun and shoots Lenny in the back of the head. You might think this action was cruel but gorge didn’t want curly doing this, he wanted to do it himself as he knew if they ran away it was bound to happen again.I think this film is mostly about finding out who’s the monster in this story?? Is it curly in the way he treats everyone like dirt or is it Lenny the one who doesn’t understand what killing is?? This film is harsh but good in a way of showing the truth that there are many monsters in the world, but it just counts on who you believe.

speech:

  • wills speech is elegent and he likes to get his point across by sying comments like “i don’t want to sound patronising” but when it comes to girls he talks like he knows everything  and shmes them out in front of his mates.apperance

apperance:

  • he’s clean and always wears his uniform correctly and gives of the vibe that he’s better then you and you have to be popular to get to actuall y know him. or his mates to accept you first.

actions:

  • insults girls as he think they are taking over his school, He only believs one side of the story and acts like a fool around his friends to show off. In the end he falls in love with francesca and is really in the story only looking  forwrd to the futre so much that he has planned it but doesn’t relises how much it will hurt the people he loves.

other:

  • he’s planning to go traveling  and his nana and francesca’s nana has history together!!

siobhan character description

siobhan

Symbolism of name

  • Siobhan shows that francesca has many different friends and she symbolises the one that gets most of the boys attention…….if you know what i mean!!! She was francesca’s best friend in primary until the “popular girls”said not to hang out with her! 

Speech

  • siobhan use’s language that to her is not effensive….it seems that she will insult francesca or any of her friends and to them it’s insulting but to siobhan it’s funny. she will brag they boys love her and don’t use her and say things that bring francesca down but not in the way she means to!

Appearance

  • she’s a female that wears skippy clothes to get a guy’s attention when she struts her stuff!

Actions

  • siobhan’s actions are odd…like on page        she’s found crying on the end of a bed with her hair in a mess and her clothes half off! with these actions described she possibly didnt want to have sex with the guy that was in the room at the time or she thought he loved her, also on page    it explains that in primary school she was very loud and a bit of an attention seeker, and when she’s arround francesca she seems to have more respect of herself like on page    .

Other

  • many girls these days seem like siobhan…not in a bad way though…with all the clothes now avalible it seems that a long skirt to us girls is no longer than 5cm (not that short), but now with th little kids range now avalible it’s going to carry on
  • With the manners these days it seems we’ve become more aggressive and not as tolerent, we’ve also become cheeky and dont take any crap from anyone, because in the 21st centry kids have control!!!
