Nastasia [14]3 years ago

There are two main conflicts in John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men. One conflict is an internal one: Man verses Himself; the other conflict is external: Man verses Man.

In regard to the internal conflict, George feels responsible for Lennie. He made a promise to Lennie's aunt which forces George to care for Lennie.  This conflict is highlighted through Lennie's, inevitable, getting into trouble.  The problems that Lennie cause force George to feel held back and unable to move on for himself. In the end, George must come to terms with what is best for Lennie.

In regard to the external conflict, Man verses Man, this is exampled in many different ways throughout the novel. 1) Lennie against Curley. 2) Lennie against George. 3) Lennie against Curley's Wife. 4) George and Lennie against Society.  While examples 1-3 are basic physical conflicts, example 4 is not.  Lennie and George are conflicted with society as a while because they cannot find a place where they fit in.  They, like many ranchers at the time, would find work, make enough money to move on, and leave.  George and Lennie wanted more; they wanted a place to call their own.  Unfortunately, there is no place for them.

Brums [2.3K]

property?

O

buttons relating to national political campaigns, and some even

wore the Iron Cross, traditionally a symbol of Nazism.

O

B. On the other hand, the Court has repeatedly emphasized the need

for affirming the comprehensive authority of the States and of

school officials, consistent with fundamental constitutional

safeguards, to prescribe and control conduct in the schools.

C. The action of the school authorities appears to have been based

on an urgent wish to avoid the controversy which might result

from the expression, even by the silent symbol of armbands, of

opposition to this nation's part in the conflagration in Vietnam.

D. That they are educating the young for citizenship is reason for scrupulous protection of Constitutional freedoms of the individual if we are not to strangle the free mind at its source and teach youth to discount important principles of our government as mere

platitudes.

Answer:

D. That they are educating the young for citizenship is reason for scrupulous protection of Constitutional freedoms of the individual. if we are not to strangle the free mind at its source and teach youth to discount important principles of our government as mere platitudes

Explanation:

The Tinker vs Des Moines Independent Community School District case which was decided by the Supreme Court ruled that the students' use of armbands represented free speech to and was not bound by the actions of the people that participated in it.

It also ruled that the school could not alienate their constitutional rights as the actions of the students in no way substantially interfere with the operation of the school.
