Later Carlson followed himself with, “Why’n’t you shoot him, Candy?” (Steinbeck 44). Candy stated that he did not mind the smell of the dog, and that he wants to keep the dog. Carlson became angered by this. He keep trying to get permission from Candy to kill the dog.
Much like how the weather and seasons change the atmosphere of a setting, word choice and imagery can also morph and shape the mood of an environment as well. Especially in a world where there are countless numbers of words, choosing a select few to use as a description can illustrate an image in which readers can envision as they read. It can even portray a specific message or theme that the writer has in mind! On that note, authors such as John Steinbeck utilize this method in stories to establish a contrast or change within the plot. In the novel, Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, the author begins chapter one in the hot afternoon, introducing us to George and Lennie, who are looking for a fresh start-which they are not looking for when
The book “ Of Mice And Men by John Steinbeck In the book “ Of Mice and men” The use of animal imagery and Working class people develop the theme.

Candy's dog eventually gets shot for no reason, other than the fact that the others do not like him. The dog was hated by the other men living on the farm. The sense of feeling that others do not like you is one of the main contributes to lonliness in the world today. Steinbeck attempts to allow readers to recognize this, and change their actions and words towards others to prevent this lonely state in
When Carlson shot Candy’s dog, Candy began to see himself in his dog. He began to see how alone he is, and started to believe that he was useless. Candy had a very hard time dealing with being lonesome after the passing of his dog. This created an idea in his head that in the near future he would be all on his own, with no job, and nowhere to go. Candy had been working on the ranch for a very long time, and during that time he had lost his hand.
Steinbeck states in the novel, “You seen what they done to my dog tonight?”(60). An example of Candy telling George and Lennie his problems. Candy still feels upset over his dog death by Carlson. But by using that excuse he got George to agree with him, to let him live in the ranch once they earn enough money. With Candy’s help with George and Lennie’s dream, it is easier and now faster for the three of them to get their ranch.
In the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, Chapters one and two are about Lennie and George who Have arrived on the banks of the Salinas River in California looking for work. Two migrant workers named George and Lennie are looking for jobs during the great depression, but they can’t because Lennie keeps losing them due to the fact that he has special needs. George is a small, quick man with dark eyes; Lennie is actually completely different from George he is a naive, unintelligent mountain of a man who loves soft things (way to much). Lennie comes up to a pool of water and drinks; George yells at Lennie because the water is not so clean, but of course Lennie didn’t know and then asks George for some but he refuses. When done George looks
Thus, Steinbeck foreshadows Lennie’s departure to heaven through the deaths of Candy’s dog, Curley’s wife, and the water snake. Candy’s old useless dog plays a major role in foreshadowing Lennie’s inevitable death. His dog represents the fate anticipated for all living things that have reached their final destination. Candy and his dogs relationship is a perfect mirror image of George and Lennie’s. Candy wants the best for his dog just like George wants the best for Lennie.
John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men illustrates the struggles and barriers in humanity. By using characters with their own difficulties including age, race, gender, and intelligence, Steinbeck displays what it’s like to be human and degraded by others. In the end, the different scenarios of being discriminated and isolated symbolize Steinbeck’s perspective of human existence and life’s obstacles. When Candy’s dog died, he had to sacrifice his companion. Candy decided to let Carlson shoot his dog and is shown to be hurt by it when Steinbeck describes Candy to lay on the bunk staring at the ceiling ( ).
In the story Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck uses the dog to represent loneliness of Candy. The men in the bunkhouse where complaining about how bad the dog stunk so Carl said let me do it he won’t even feel a thing. Curly says, “ I had him since he was a pup though”(Steinbeck #44). Steinbeck is trying to show that because the dog has been with Curly all this time he is going to be lonely once Carlson kills him. Curley won’t have a person or a dog to wake up to and talk to or attend to the dog.
Candy lost his right hand in a ranch accident, which is why the owners “give me a job swampin’” as he says (Steinbeck 59). He believes he will that he will be “can[ned] purty soon,” so he wants to go with George and Lennie (Steinbeck 60). When Carlson wants to shoot Candy’s dog, Candy does not want him to. He says “No, I couldn’... I had ‘im too long” and “I had him from a pup” (Steinbeck 45).
