Dialectical Journal For Of Mice And Men

John Steinbeck believes in the book “of mice and men” that, we as humans cannot comprehend when we don’t feel a sense of lost somewhere in the world, because having this loss gives us an emotional feeling that releases anger and rage on yourself and others.

In the introduction “Of Mice and Men” this theme is used a lot when they come running out of Weed. A lots of understanding broke on Lennie's face. “ They run us out of weed,” he exploded triumphantly. “ Run us out, hell,” George disgustedly. “ We run. they was looking for us, but they didn't catch us.” Paragraph 3 Page 7. This setting within the story is George is irritated with what Lennie did in Weed. I’m a lot of people would be irritated as well as George. Now in their hiding place while the townspeople are searching like wolfs trying to find food, they can’t go no where. And with Georges emotions you can feel the anger that he has built up over lennie because he had to watch over him and was alone since Lennie was too darn stupid to be a real interactive person and more like a machine.

Lennie’s actions on the people at the ranch were at first confused of why George was with him and Slim even states people feel alone with someone with them. For example when Candy’s dog was shot. “Candy if you want me to I put that dog out of it’s misery right now, won't hurt him at all,” says Carlson. “Let’s wait till tomorrow,” says Candy. “We can’t sleep with that stinken dog in here,” yells Carlson. Page 49 paragraph 3 And this harsh conversation goes on until Candy says just take him, as if he has lost all hope. Now why would Candy want to live either he lost his only friend and now inside has a bubbling boil of lava that hurts him. So with Carlson put up with the dog he can’t take it anymore and kills the dog on the spot without Candy saying
