What Is The Impact Of Socialization In Of Mice And Men

The book, “Of Mice and Men" written by John Steinbeck, compares the discriminatory actions of society to its people for not looking or acting as others should. Steinbeck tells how Crooks used to play with the white kids until his father stopped him in chapter four; in chapter five, Steinbeck shows dreams that Curleys Wife wants. Moreover, in chapter six, the reader can conclude that Lennie had a mental disability that negatively impacted his socialization with others. In the middle of chapter four, Crooks is the only black person present in the book, which had restrictions on rights. He lives in a barn alone, and nobody wants to enter; Lennie enters the barn. Crooks asks him to leave, but they start talking about one another. Crooks told Lennie

She has many goals to finish but never accomplished anything because of her husband. She walked into the barn, saw Lennie, and started talking with him. She told Lennie personal things and feelings one was, “Well I ain’t told this to nobody before. Maybe I ought’n to. I don’ like Curely. He ain’t a nice fella.” and because she had confided in him, she moved closer to Lennie and sat beside him. “Coulda been in the movies, an’ had nice cloths- all of them nice clothes like they wear. An’ I coulda sat in them big hotels, an’ had pitchers took of me. When they had them previews I coulda went to them, an’ spoke in the radio, an’ it wouldn’ta cost me a cent because I was in the pitcher. (Steinbeck, Page 89)". She trusted Lennie because he was listening, telling her what she felt. The reader infers her dreams as a way of wanting attention, in contradistinction to being neglected at the farm. Curley's wife is the only woman on the farm; others see her as weak or something that will trouble them. Steinbeck makes a connection to society for its continual discrimination against women. There were times when schools would teach women how to cook, clean, and act; consequently, women still face trouble in the world with men-owned businesses and receive lower pay than males who work the same. Curley's wife was to follow this and nothing else, which differs from her dream. Curley's wife's desire for others'

Lennie had done something after telling himself many times not to. As he runs away and comes to the river bank where George told him to be when he was in trouble, his mind creates his aunt. It was a short conversation, “And then from out of Lennie’s head there came a little fat old woman. She wore thick bull’s-eye glasses and she wore a huge gingham apron with pockets, and she was starched and clean. She stood in front of Lennie and put her hands on her hips, and she frowned disappointingly at him. And when she spoke, it was in Lennie’s voice. “ I tol’ you so an’ tol’ you. (Steinbeck, Pages 100-101)”. In the first sentence, his aunt scolded Lennie for doing something after telling him not to do so. His aunt had died a while back, and the voice was in Lennie's, which means she was in his mind after her death, possibly helping Lennie. He was treated as a child by George and by others; nobody took him seriously. George told the boss that Lennie had suffered a hit in the head by a horse when he was young, which is why he isn't bright, which was an attempt at being accepted into the job. Steinbeck connects this to the world by displaying the unfairness they receive and the discriminatory actions by people of power, being declined because you are different from
