Can I know what poem or short story these lines are from?
Lennie is so reluctant to talk to Curley's wife because he is aware of her potential for trouble, and George has advised him to avoid her.
- Lennie gets upset with Curley's wife because he believes George will hear her yelling and come to check on him. Lennie ends up breaking Curley's wife's neck as a result.
- Lennie replies that he thinks Curley's wife is "purty," prompting George to warn Lennie to stay away from her, just as he's supposed to stay away from Curley, after he calls Curley's wife a "tramp."
- George warns Lennie that the water might not be good when he saunters up to the edge of the pool and starts to drink like a ravenous animal. Lennie has a mental illness, making it necessary for him to be given this advice because he is unaware of any potential risks. George cautions Lennie not to say anything when they arrive as the two are traveling to a ranch where they can find temporary employment. Lennie has a very short memory, so George has to make him repeat even the most basic instructions.
Thus this is why Lennie is so reluctant to talk to Curley's wife.

Here, Hamlet is using a metaphor. Metaphors compare two things, yet differ from similes in that they don't use "like" or "as." He is comparing Denmark to a prison, meaning that he feels that the city is confining and bleak.
It means that he has abided by certain mores for his whole life and by using the literal example of “pulling a thorn”, he’s saying, “there’s not one person who i haven’t helped, that’s what makes us brothers. When they need me i help them, and when i need them they help me.” It is interesting because he’s explaining that just because it’s not normal for you doesn’t mean it’s not my version of normal.
