Mice and Men

English
1 answer:
Citrus2011 [14]3 years ago

Answer:

When Curley's wife came up to them to ask about the whereabouts of her husband, she was met with a derogatory and even accusing manner. The men blamed her for always being out of the house.

This shows the expected way she was supposed to behave and also blamed for the 'disappearance' of Curley. Her opinion doesn't seem to matter to anyone, and everyone seems to believe that she will be happy as long as she stays at home.

Her conversation and getting 'interest' in Lennie in this chapter foreshadows her fate for whatever comes in close contact with Lennie seems to die. Moreover, her 'overarching' need to interfere in the matters of the ranch life, her need to be in the company of these men all lead up to the problems that will come in the next scenes.

Explanation:

John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" revolves around the lives of two men looking for work after the Great Depression. The lives of migrant workers and the conditions that prevail during those times, even though the story occurs within a short time of just 4 days.

In Chapter 4, Curley's wife interrupted the conversation of the men while they were in Crooks' room in the stables. Responding to her question of where Curley might have been, the men replied in a demeaning, derogatory way, which is suggestive of how 'flirty' and 'a bad woman' she was.

By judging the way even the ranch hands think of her, Curley's wife seems to live a life of discomfort, judgment, and controlled by the men around her. When Crooks' advised her to stay in her house, she replied <em>"Think I like to stick in that house  afla time?"</em> This shows her pent-up feelings of what is expected of her and what she really feels.

But at the same time, this scene where she gets too involved in the matters of the men, even despising her own husband to the ranch hands forebodes the tragedy that will befall her. She also 'flirts' with Lennie, which clearly foreshadows her fate, as Lennie seems to 'kill/hurt' whoever/ whatever comes near to him.

As sugar planters fled from the revolution in Haiti, some moved to Cuba's Oriente Province, others to North America—to Louisiana
kherson [118]

According to the excerpt, it can be inferred that the sentence that supports the idea that sugar was more than just a killer in Louisiana is option 4. "people needed..."

<h3>What does the word Killer mean in the snippet?</h3>

According to the context described in the fragment, reference is made to the fact that sugar in Louisiana was affected by the weather, so the slaves were required to perform faster at the rate of the mills to prevent the crop from being damaged with the cold.

From the above, it can be inferred that this characteristic of the climate and the cultivation of sugar was a difficulty for the lives of the slaves who had to demand too much of themselves to work at full speed.

Note: This question is incomplete because the question and the options are missing. Here is the complete information:

Which line from the passage best provides evidence to support the claim that sugar was more of "a killer" in Louisiana than in the Caribbean?

  1. "In every single American slave state, the population of enslaved people kept rising. . . ."
  2. ". . . enough enslaved children were born, lived, and grew to become adults."
  3. "not only did the slave states need to harvest the cane in perfect rhythm with the grinding mills. . . ."
  4. "people needed to work faster than the weather. . . ."
