Answer:

When evaluating the relationship of George and Lennie, keep in mind the influential external factors. The setting takes place during the time of the Great Depression and the Dust bowl. Lennie and George are both migrant workers and depend on farm work for money at a time when America's economy was the weakest and its farms were struggling to keep animals and crops alive. In addition, the Unites States is filled with intense prejudice towards races, sexes, and outcasts. There are a number of relationship pairs to evaluate throughout the story so keep the setting complications in mind.

Through figurative language and characterization used in chapter one, Steinbeck reveals the characteristics of both George and Lennie. Lennie has a mental disability and is a regular burden on George; he has lost jobs because of his inability to control his strength and is regularly badgering George with questions. Because of his strength, however, Lennie is able to impress farm owners who desire capable physical laborers. On the other hand, George has the wit and instinct to navigate from farm to farm and find new areas to work.

While George sacrifices job stability and independence, he gains companionship at a time when the rest of world is indifferent to him. Likewise, Lennie sacrifices some personal dignity (George regularly casts crude, demeaning remarks on Lennie) and gains a protector, provider, and friend.

What does the word trap refer to in this excerpt from Beowulf?
Nitella [24]
<span>The correct answer is D. The word "trap" refers to pride. In these lines, Beowulf is being warned. He is told to "beward of that trap," and "Do not give way to pride." Beowulf is warned that his strength will not last forever; ultimately, he will grow weak and old, or he will be injured. Either way, his strength is not something he will always have -- therefore, he must not become so proud that he forgets he is human. </span>

Can you please help me with this essay on The Ransom of Red Chief
Ivenika [448]

Sure!

Beautiful name by the way.

Red Chief should stay with Bill and Sam because:

The men handed over the money and the boy – who had actually been happier being away from his super strict father and therefore does not want to be returned to his father.

^He obviously doesn't want to be near his father, as Bill and Sam were more lenient and let him play around.


Sorry I couldn't come up with more, I didn't really read the story that much, again, my apologies.

Toodles~
