 Of Mice and Men Essay Introduction Paragraph

    There will always be moments when two friends argue, but arguing is sometimes what makes a relationship so much stronger. In the novel, Of Mice and Men written by John Steinbeck, George and Lennie criticize each other multiple times and threaten to leave. However they always stay together in the end and that’s because they care too much about each other. The proof is everytime Lennie says he’d leave George alone, George would beg him to stay and George cares too much about Lennie to leave him, and everything he says to Lennie isn’t because he’s mad at Lennie. Also, George never left Lennie until Lennie was dead. George isn’t mad at Lennie because he’s holding George back, George is mad at himself because he doesn’t know how to leave Lennie and move forward. Instead of just saying so George takes his anger out on Lennie and blames him instead of himself.

 Do you think the parents who allowed this party to happen are guilty? Why or why not?

    The parents who allowed this party to happen and let the teenagers drink are guilty. They are supposed to be responsible and prevent things like this from happening, not encouraging it. Even worse, the parents lied and said they didn't have drinks at the party instead of taking responsibility for their mistakes.

In the article it is questioned if the kid should go to jail for life or not after murdering his two year old sibling or if he should be given a second chance. In my opinion that should not be questioned and the boy should face life in prison. What he did was disturbing and wrong  and though he is only thirteen he should be charged as an adult. The reason he should be charged as an adult is because he knew what he did was wrong and is old enough by now to know good from bad.

Summarize chapters 3 and 4 in Of Mice and Men.

      So basically in chapter three Of Mice and Men, Lennie gets in a fight with Curly because Curly was upset. During the fight Lennie hurts Curly really bad on accident because he was scared and didn't know what he was doing. Curly has possibly broken all of his hand, which isn't good considering he fights for a living. How ever Curly promises not to say anything, most likely because he is scared of Lennie.
      
      In chapter four Of Mice and Men, Lennie goes into Crooks' room trying to make friends with him because George is out with Slim. How ever he isn't aloud in Crooks' room because Crooks is black. After that it all goes down hill and Curly's wife comes in and throws a fit about how she can easily get rid of Crooks. Then George comes back and as usual he fixes Lennie's problems.

What is the cause of the so-called bacon shortage?  How bad of a problem do we really face?

         The cause of the bacon shortage is the current drought that has limited the food supplies for pigs. I think that the problem we are face is pretty bad, considering that many people rely on bacon and pigs. Whether it's because they eat it or because they make it, it effects a lot of the population.
