Summary
In the same riverbed where the story began, it is a beautiful, serene late afternoon. A heron stands in a shaded green pool, eating water snakes that glide between its legs. Lennie comes stealing through the undergrowth and kneels by the water to drink. He is proud of himself for remembering to come here to wait for George but soon has two unpleasant visions. His Aunt Clara appears “from out of Lennie’s head” and berates him, speaking in Lennie’s own voice, for not listening to George, for getting himself into trouble, and for causing so many problems for his only friend. Then a gigantic rabbit appears to him, also speaking in Lennie’s own voice, and tells him that George will probably beat him and abandon him. Just then, George appears. He is uncommonly quiet and listless. He does not berate Lennie. Even when Lennie himself insists on it, George’s tirade is unconvincing and scripted. He repeats his usual words of reproach without emotion. Lennie makes his usual offer to go away and live in a cave, and George tells him to stay, making Lennie feel comforted and hopeful. Lennie asks him to tell the story of their farm, and George begins, talking about how most men drift along, without any companions, but he and Lennie have one another. The noises of men in the woods come closer, and George tells Lennie to take off his hat and look across the river while he describes their farm. He tells Lennie about the rabbits and promises that nobody will ever be mean to him again. “Le’s do it now,” Lennie says. “Le’s get that place now.” George agrees. He raises Carlson’s gun, which he has removed from his jacket, and shoots Lennie in the back of the head. As Lennie falls to the ground and becomes still, George tosses the gun away and sits down on the riverbank.

"Things only have meaning in context"
You can see this from the examples that Dickenson lists.
"Land by oceans past" - You would not be able to tell the land if there were no oceans
"Peace by its battles told" - How would we have a definition for peace without battles?
B. everybodys' because they are more than one, i guess :P
In Harper Lee's novel To Kill a Mockingbird, the criteria of "fine folks" is used by Aunt Alexandria to describe people who live according to strong moral standards. The Levy family are considered to be hard-working, pleasant, and honest members of the community. They are not racist against African-Americans and, in fact, are willing to stand up for African-Americans and their rights. While the Ku-Klux-Klan does parade by Levy's house--in part because he and his family considered to be overly friendly to African Americans--Levy does voice his objections to the Klan member's actions and ideologies and shames them for their beliefs and actions.
