Question

For the book you are reading, write a paragraph of five to six sentences identifying the author's message about the human rights issue. Provide examples from the book to support your point. Use proper spelling and grammar. I AM READING OF MICE AND MEN CHAPTERS 1-4 PLEASEEE HELP!

Answer 1

The author manages to show us inequality between the two ethnic groups by having acts of violence happening to black men. Not only that, though, since the author manages to use dialogue between the two races in a way that we are made aware of verbal belittling. As an example, we have:

"Where we goin', George?"

The little man j**ked down the brim of his hat and scowled over at Lennie.

"So you forgot that awready, did you? I gotta tell you again, do I? Jesus Christ, you're a crazy bas***d"

By utilizing such language and disparaging tones, the text further demonstrates the writer's message on the unjustifiable prejudice that is taking place in the story being told.

Answer 2

I will give some guidance on how to go about this:

*Mention Steinbeck's background with workers. He often advocated for the poor and for farm workers.
*Give examples of the unfairness of life. George talks about this extensively in the first chapter
*Talk about the lack of aid for the mentally ill. Lennie is one mentally unstable character who never receives proper diagnosis or medical attention. I believe this is also mentioned in Chapter 1, about how Lennie had been kicked in the head
