Read this excerpt from The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin.

English

Answer: The sentence in the paragraph that demonstrates a tone of superiority is this one: "I was better dress'd than ever while in his service, having a genteel new suit from head to foot, a watch, and my pockets lin'd with near five pounds sterling in silver."

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that the lines that precede this relate how Franklin, after having lived in Philadelphia for a few months and worked as a printer in the shop of Samuel Keimer, returned to Boston in April of 1724—specifically, although this is not mentioned in the passage, in order to ask his father for financial support to start his own printing business in Philadelphia. Franklin relates how, in spite of the difficult sailing conditions, they arrived safely around two weeks later. It is only at the end when he shows a tone of superiority. He describes how he was dressed when he visited his brother at his printing business, stressing that he was better dressed that day than any other day as his brother's employee, and describing the suit, the watch, and the silver that he carried with him, an appearance that seems to have bothered his brother.

I need help with this English assignment for the book ‘Of Mice and Men
REY [17]

Answer:

i love you :)

Explanation:

The two men are described as walking in single file and even in the open

one stayed behind the other’. Both were dressed in denim trousers and in

denim coats with brass buttons’. George is described as being ‘small and

quick, dark of face, with restless eyes and sharp, strong features’. Lennie

is described as being George’s ‘opposite’ – ‘a huge man, shapeless of face,

with large, pale eyes, with wide sloping shoulders; And he walked heavily,

dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws’.

I presume Lennie was following George as he always does. Throughout

the story Lennie follows George and always tries to do what George tells

him. The fact that they were both dressed alike in denim tells me that they

were working men and that they were equal. George wasn’t dressed any

better than Lennie. George is described as ‘small and quick’. This is in

contrast to Lennie who is ‘big and slow’. George is clever but quick to

anger. Lennie is not clever and is slow to lose his temper. The way that

George is described reminds me of a rat or a mouse. Lennie is described

like a big bear – gentle most of the time but very dangerous when he is roused.
