The landmark law case is Board of Ed. of Hendrick Hudson Central School Dist. , Westchester City. v. Rowley (Oyez, n.d.) Furnace Woods School refused to provide deaf student Amy Rowley with a sign language interpreter.
From this quote it is understood that Curly didn’t have any care for Lennie, he would do anything to hurt Lennie because he was “cold”. If George didn’t kill Lennie himself it would have been a lot worse for him. Curley would have made him suffer and would have tortured him to death. George protected him from a harsh death by letting him go out by someone that loved him. George also
Throughout the story, Lennie constantly would find himself in trouble, and one reason for this may have been due to the fact that he would do or say things that seemed normal to him but were unusual to others during certain situations; Lennie’s condition caused him to struggle with social interactions and what he did was usually misinterpreted which was shown when Curley believed Lennie was laughing at him but he was not. Lennie’s inability to pick up social cues caused many misunderstandings; one of these misunderstandings occurred with Curley when Lennie was smiling thinking about his American dream which Curley interpreted as Lennie laughing at him. This altercation caused a domino effect that led to grim things consequently changing the pathway of the plot and the primary thing that sparked the fight in the first place was Lennie's distinct character traits and his lack of conversation
There is multiple conflicts throughout this book, each one involving a different character. Every chapter, there was a new conflict which was the plot of that chapter. From the beginning of the book, when they met the boss, to the end where Lennie was shot by George. One of the main conflicts of this book is when Curley thinks Lennie is laughing at him, but Lennie really isn’t. Since Curley is known as a boxer, he enjoys ruffling someone’s feathers; also, Curley likes to always talk about himself and be the center of attention all the time.
The point of physical violence has not been touched upon. In the midst of the rising action in the novel, Curley starts to beat Lennie because he was grinning at the thought of the ranch, but Curley thought that he was laughing at him. Lennie made a remark that he does not want to fight him. Consequently, Curley assaults Lennie, and he accepts it. It was only at George’s call for permission that Lennie crushed his hand.
The duty of any criminal prosecutor is to seek justice. A conviction is the end of justice being served prior to sentencing; however justice cannot be served if an innocent person is found guilty. Even though the prosecutor(s) are there to represent the public and has the duty to aggressively pursue offenders for violations of state and federal laws, they shall never lose sight or their own moral compass of their main purpose is to find the truth. In the pursuit of truth, the United States Supreme Court has developed or made rulings in reference to several principles of conduct which have to be followed by all prosecutors to assure that the accused person(s) are allowed the proper procedures and due process of the law granted by the 14th Amendment.
The Creature was insanely smart while Lennie wasn’t that smart and had a learning disability. This is shown by how each character committs their crime. The Creature was smart enough to target Elizabeth, Victor’s wife, on her wedding night, which was when Victor would be the most emotionally affected. Lennie’s crime was unintentional, he was simply trying to keep Curly’s wife quiet but accidentally broke her neck with his superhuman strength. Another difference was that the Creature had no one who accepted him while Lennie had George who did.
Curley was violent towards everyone because he wanted to feel bigger than everyone and so he would pick fights. Lennie was violent because he didn’t know his own strength and didn’t mean to hurt anyone.
Margaret Fuller fights for equality in her essay The Great Lawsuit. She discusses the idea that women are equal in every way to men and deserve the rights that men get just by being born male. Fuller’s argument shares a lot of similarities with Emerson’s idea of self-reliance. She discusses the idea of one universal order, and the notion of leaving the past in the past so as to move forward, although Fuller does share some ideas with Emerson, her essay held a different meaning of self-reliance for women than it did for men. Margaret Fuller adopts Emerson’s idea of one universal order, and claims that “if the woman apparelled in flesh, to one master only are they accountable.
(pg. 22). Since Lennie is mentally challenged and can’t think fast enough, he relies on George to tell him what to do. Curley had turned on Lennie by punching him; and protect himself, Lennie had grabbed Curley’s hand and crushed with his own hand. Lennie felt bad for what he did so George
