What is depth, and what does it mean? Depth is the extent, the intensity, depth is a distinct level of detail. When someone talks about depth of characterization, they are talking about the level of intensity that someone is using in order to describe a character. In “Of Mice and Men” describes many of his main characters in great depth. Of Men and Mice it’s a story of two traveling laborers who are on their way to a job loading barley at a California ranch. The two most important characters in the novel are George Milton and Lennie Small. They are ordinary workmen, moving from town to town and job to job, but they symbolize much more than that. Their names give us our first hints about them. One of Steinbeck's favorite books when he was growing up was Paradise Lost by JohnMilton.http://www.literature.org/authors/milton-john/paradise-lost/chapter-01.html

In this long poem, Milton describes the beginnings of evil in the world.He tells of Lucifer's fall from heaven and the creation of hell. He alsodescribes Adam and Eve's fall from grace in the Garden of Eden. By giving George the last name of Milton, Steinbeck seems to be showing that he is an example of fallen man, someone who is doomed to loneliness and who wants to return to the Garden of Eden. Perhaps this is why George is always talking about having his own place and living "off the fat of the land," as Adam and Eve did before theirfall.



Lennie is anything but small physically. He is a big man who is often described with animal images. In the opening scene of the book his hands are called paws and he snorts like a horse, Yet Lennie is small on brains and on responsibility. Someone has always taken care of Lennie and done his thinking and talking for him. First his Aunt Clara looked after him, and now George does. He is like a child, a term George uses several times in describing Lennie to Slim. Lennie has a child's short attention span and tendency to hang onto one idea stubbornly (the rabbits) he will get to tend. He is innocent and "has no meanness in him." In a sense, Lennie and George are both small men. They will never be famous or amount to anything great. Even their dream is a modest one. The ranch George is thinking about costs only $600. They will have just a few chickens and pigs and, of course, rabbits. They will not have to work real hard. George and Lennie are practically opposites in the way they look and in their personalities. George is described as small and quick with sharp features. Lennie is described as big, slow witted,

and shapeless of face. George can comfortably fit into the ranch and world.He plays horseshoes with the others and goes along to the whorehouse on Saturday night. Lennie plays with his puppy in the barn and spends Saturday night in Crooks' room with the other outcasts. Yet it is very difficult to look at George and Lennie separately. Over and over, George explains that their uniqueness lies in the fact that they are together. As Lennie says (repeating George's words): "But not us! An' why? Because... because I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that's why." It is said that Sigmund Freud, the famous psychoanalyst, has written that each person has two sides - the ego and the id.

The ego is the person's thinking side, the leader figure within him or her. The ID is the physical side of the person, the body and senses. George is obviously the leader of the two men; he does all of their thinking. He remembers the things that must be remembered and instructs Lennie about them. Lennie, on the

other hand, is all body. He "thinks" with his senses. The most important parts of Lennie's body are his hands. He likes to touch soft things, and he does so without thinking.



That's why he keeps getting into trouble. Lennie crushes Curley's hand with his hand, and breaks the necks of his puppy and Curley's wife when his hands get the better of him. It is interesting to note that Lennie gets in trouble only when George is not around. Steinbeck seems to be saying that a body without a mind controlling it can easily get carried away. A person must be a balance of ego and ID. Another way to look at George and Lennie is scientifically. That means each one needs the other in order to live. George and Lennie need each other in the same way. It is obvious why Lennie needs George.

George does his thinking for him and tries to keep him out of trouble. But why does George need Lennie? Lennie is more than just George's companion who keeps him from being lonely. Lennie makes George special. As George says to Slim "Lennie made me seem God damn smart alongside of him...." He adds, "I ain't got no people. I seen the guys that go around on ranches alone. That ain't

no good. They don't have no fun. After a long time they get mean." George tells Lennie that he could have so much fun without him, going into town and maybe spending his money in a whorehouse. But if he did these things he would be just like all the other nobodies on the ranch. Lennie forces George to keep repeating

the vision of the future farm. George seems bored or annoyed each time he begins to tell the story, but soon he gets more excited himself. Lennie's enthusiasm



keeps the vision fresh and alive. When George spots Curley's wife's body in the barn, he says, "I'll work my month an' I'll take my fifty bucks an' I'll stay all night in some lousy cat house...." George knows he will be just another ranch hand without Lennie. One other way that Steinbeck hints at George's need for Lennie is that whenever George is in the bunk house without Lennie around,he plays solitaire. George is basically a loner without Lennie. So Lennie is right then when he says that George takes care of him, and he takes care of George. There is a third way to look at the relationship of the two men – a biblical way.. George and Lennie's story has some strong echoes of the story of Cain and Abel in Genesis. George is not really Lennie's brother, but he is the closest thing to family that Lennie has. George is clearly Lennie's keeper.



He also is Lennie's killer. According to the Bible, after Cain kills Abel, he is forced to wander the earth alone as a fugitive, longing for Eden but never getting there. George too will be a lonely wanderer who no longer has his vision of a garden and paradise without Lennie.

May 9th plans

My group is the group planning to sell water ice and ince cream bars on May 9th.We are selling these treats to benifit the needy children in Children's Hospital that want and need new books.

At Children's Hospital, the paths to excellence are many. Patient care remains at the core of our mission, and it is the hallmark of our history. Families of the sickest children in our society continue to seek care at Children's Hospital because here they receive the best care available and the family support that makes all the difference.

Attracting outstanding physicians in every pediatric sub-specialty has enabled Children's Hospital to develop an exceptional breadth of leading specialized programs. The work of Children's Hospital specialists has made immeasurable contributions to the fields of cardiology, oncology, gastroenterology, plastic surgery and neurosurgery, among others. In fact, many of the pediatric surgical techniques and treatment protocols commonly used today were first implemented at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

So my group is just extending a lending hand to the need children for new books!

I SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM AND MY MOUTH WATERS FOR WATER ICE!!!!!!!
BUY TREATS TO HELP CHILDREN READ BOOKS!

Service Learning Reflection May 1

In my service learning group my group started off kinda badly.Only one person knew what day we were planning on selling our merchandise but no one knew weather we were going to sell water ice or candy,plus we didnt know how we were going to obtain the books for Children's Hospital.

So once we got ever one to finally stop talking Mrs. Madhi started stating the choices that we came up with last week ( candy, water ice,ice cream bars, cheese stakes, or just to have children bring in books.)

My group then took a tally of how many people wanted to sell each item. Coming up with the and total being water ice people began to argue.Once the noise stopped then we looked upon the positions that we would all take in this opperation in order for it to work.My position was to sell and to set up.There were other positions, like, to get the water ice and ice cream bars, supplying the money etc.

In conclusion my group ended up turning out ok. We now have everything squared away and are planning to sell water ice and ice cream bars on May 9,2008

Service learning ( community giving)

On Friday my group ( Community giving )we agreed that we were going to do 2 different projects.The first project was focusing on either CHOP or children in foster homes and the second focus was animal shelters or homelessness.My group didn't have enough time
to come down to an agreement and to look at all of the qualifications
for the choices so we don't have definite choices.

1940's weapons

world war 2 was the largest armed conflict in history, the entire world and involving more countries that  any other war, as well as introducing the most powerful weapons. My favorite weapon was the bazooka. Thew bazooka weapon was one of the first anti- tank weapons based on the heat shell to enter service, used by the united states armed forces in world war 2. it was nicknamed a "bazooka" from a vague resembled to the musical instrument. It was highly effective, so much so that the Germans copied it outright to produce their own version known as the Panzerschreck.

My second favorite was the MG42. This gun at this rate it becomes impossible for the human ear to discern the sound of individual bullets being fired, and thus when in use the gun makes a sound described both as "ripping cloth" and "hitler's buzzsaw."

Bigger started a fight with Gus because he had to find

a why to get out of robbing a white man so he makes it out

to seem like Gus was chickening out.

Imagine you as Bigger when you picked up the newspaper and read what the press thought about, how would you have felt?

Being Bigger I would have felt ashamed and hurt because

I did not attentionlly killed Ms. Dalton and on top of that i did not rape her.

I think that as soon as Mrs. Dalton called out for Mary I would have let her answer for her self and stood at the side of the bed while Mrs. Dalton talked to her.Mrs. Dalton would smell that Mary was drunk and she would have left then him and Mary could go about their nasty occasion.

Information On Homosexuality in the 1930's

superam court cases

On 2003-APR-7, Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) commented on a currently active case before the U.S. Supreme Court: Lawrence v. Texas (2003). The case involves two gay men, John Geddes Lawrence, and Tyron Garner, who were arrested after police found them engaged in anal sex, in private, inside Lawrence's apartment. Under Texas' "sodomy law," only a man and a women are free to engage in oral or anal sexual behavior. Gays and lesbians cannot. Ruth Harlow, of the Lambda Legal Defense Fund, said: the Texas law "brands gay people as second-class citizens....[The plaintiffs were] punished for engaging in consensual sexual intimacy in the privacy of one of their homes. Texas' 'homosexual conduct' law targets gay and lesbian couples while leaving heterosexual couples free to engage in the very same acts." ₁ Similar legislation exists in the contiguous states of Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma.

Laws prohibiting homosexual behavior are commonly called "sodomy laws." They have taken many forms in different jurisdictions. Some criminalize certain behavior by opposite-gender as well as same-gender couples. It would not be much of an exaggeration to say that every sexual act except sexual intercourse between a married couple using the missionary position in the dark has been criminalized in at least one U.S. state at one time during its history.

These laws and regulations can be traced back at least to biblical times. In England, homosexual behavior was originally handled in the ecclesiastical courts. By 1791 CE, when the original 13 states ratified the Bill of Rights, they all treated sodomy as a criminal offense. By 1961, the U.S. military, and all of the states and territories maintained "sodomy" laws on their books -- some dating back more than a century. Some were worded so generally that they would even criminalize consensual oral sex in private between a married couple as a "crime against nature." In 1961, Illinois became the first American jurisdiction to repeal its sodomy law.

Service Learning

Last year I was in the gardening group and it wasnt the worst but I think I was kinda a wast of time.We really did'nt get anything accomplished in my oppinion but one thing that I really enjoyed was when we decide to go to the elderly home. I found i fun and instresting.We made plants and gave them to the elderly people,they enjoyed it and we did too.

NHD Reflication

NHD was hard also this year for me because i decided to do an exbit and i had no idea what was needed for that.The sucess that i did have was that i eventually got the board done but the bad part about that was that the board didnt pass.the teachesr and the judges thought that it could have had more information and that the colors that i choose werent that greatest.Next year if i decide to do it again it will prob.be better because i have experience.

The Impact

The Great Depression had a substantial and varied impact on the lives of Americans. Physically and psychologically, it was devastating to many people, who not only lacked adequate food, shelter, and clothing but felt they were to blame for their desperate state.

Although few people died from starvation, many did not have enough to eat. Some people searched garbage dumps for food or ate weeds. The psychological impact was equally damaging. During the prosperity of the 1920's, many Americans believed success went to those who deserved it. Given that attitude, the unemployment brought by the depression of the 1930's was a crushing blow. If the economic system really distribted rewards on the basis of merit, those who lost their jobs had to conclude that it was their own fault. Self-blame and self-doubt became epidemic.

These attitudes declined after the New Deal began, however. The establishment of government programs to counteract the depression indicated to many of the unemployed that the crisis was a large social problem, not a matter of personal failing. Still, having to ask for assistance was humiliating for many men who had thought of themselves as self-sufficient and breadwinners for their families.

Effects of the depression on children were often radically different from the impact on their parents.

During the depression many children took on greater responsibilities at an earlier age than later generations would. Some teenagers found jobs when their parents could not, reversing the normal roles of provider and dependent. Sometimes children had to comfort their despairing parents.

The depression's impact was less dramatic, but ultimately more damaging, for minorities in America than for whites. By 1932 about 50 percent of he nation's black workers were unemployed. Blacks were frequently forced out of jobs in order to give them to unemployed whites.

The Great Depression Essay

Jahmilla Muse

300 word essay


The Great Crash of 1929 is the symbolic event that led to the Great Depression. There were many things that were wrong during this time, but there were four things that have had an enormous effect on society. These four things are:
Income, a large problem with the poor distribution of it occurred also. Most of society was only getting one-third of their annual income. This means that the economy was dependent on high levels of consumer spending and investment. If no one were to invest or spend a lot, the rich would only get richer and the poor would only get poorer.
Corporations, and their terrible structure. The American enterprise during the twenties opened up to all the wrong people; people such as swindlers, imposters and frauds. Holding companies and investment trusts were the companies’ weaknesses. Controlling the railroads, utility, and the entertainment business were the holding companies. This was a constant danger because if the dividends got interrupted then there would be a default in the bonds, and this led to bankruptcy.
The structure of the banking system was weak. The way it worked was that one would put their money in the bank and the bank would use that money to loan to people who needed it and the bank would collect interest on this money. Instead of the banks holding into the money, they invested it into the stock market using poor judgment. The banks lost the money and when the people who put their money in the bank wanted it back, the bank didn’t have it to give back to them. This caused a huge problem with society.
Last but not least, America’s economic intelligence was poor. In November of 1929 president Hoover said that he was going to cut taxes. When he did, it only worked for the people that received a fairly high income; even then the tax cut was barley noticeable. The government also tried to create a balanced budget. From 1930 on, the budget was way off balance, and since it was off this meant that taxes would rise. In order to accomplish a drop in taxes, there needed to be a 25% decrease in governmental expenditures, which would be merely impossible (Galbraith Pg.182)
In all, the great crash did contribute to the events leading up to the great depression, especially these four problems that occurred prior to it.

NHD Topic Reflection

For NHD I choose to do and exibit on The Great Depression.The Great Depression stood out to me because it was one of the most devestating thing that hit the US.many people suffered and there was nothing that anyone could do.The Great Depression i honestly thought would be an easire project being that it was so majorly.......but thats the reason why most of the sources are either the same or they focus on the main things.In my group is Shaun,Jenay,Shanice,Anyea and Michelle and being that we have so many people we need way more annotated bib. than the other groups but i will do my best to pass NHD.
