Of+Mice+and+Men

Have you ever suffered loneliness? Have you ever been so alone that you would do anything not to be alon? Well in the book "of mice and men" three characters were alone for most of their time. Croocks, Candy, and Curleys wife were almost alone all the time. "Let’s get it over with, he wont fell a thing." (pg 47) After Carlson taking Candy’s best friend he didn’t have anyone else but now George and Lennie. "It is loneliness that makes the loudest noise. This is true of the men as of dogs."

Croocks was a nice guy. He didn’t have much to say and didn’t want to deal with anybody. He would stay away from everybody and wouldn’t be able to talk to anybody. Croocks said sharply, “You got no right to come in my room. this here's my room. Nobody got any right in here but me." (pg 68) Croocks chooses to stay away from everybody and tells them to leave him alone. On the other hand Lennie doensnt listen and chooses to stay in his room. After a while Croocks lets him in and doesnt mind because deep down he had been waiting along time to talk to somebody for being by himslef all the time.

Unlike Croocks, Curleys wife isnt all tha nice to some people. She looks for attention and flirts with every guy she see's. Curley doesnt let her talk to anybody. Thats mostly why she is always alone. Lenni, "Well, George says youll get us in a mess." "Aw nuts." she said. "what kinda harm am i doin' to you?" (pg 88) George had told lennnie alot to stay away from Curleys wife becaue if Curley catch you talking to her, he would get mad with him. That's why she is always alone. Curley controls her and always tells her or any other guy to leave her alone. Sadly she met her match. After talking to lennie, even tho she wasnt supposed to, he ended up accedently killing her.

Candy was a nice and quiet old guy. His bestfriend was his dog that he has had since he was a pup. After Carlson shooting him because he was to old and smelled bad, Candy wasnt the same anymore. After that he had regreted it and shot the dog for himself. Candy said, 'George.' 'huh?' ' I ought to shot that dog myself, George. I shouldnt ought to of let no stanger shoot my dog. (pg 61) Candy didnt know what to do with his life. He decided to tag along with George and Lennie and go live with them after they leave the farm and get enough money to buy a lil piece of land. After Lennies incident that all went away and Candy was gonna have to live out his life alone These three people had to suffer lonliness. One of them was killed for it. One had their dream crushed. These two people lost evrything because of one person. These people had to suffer. To be alone is probably the worst thing to have. We should all do something to not be alone so we don't turn out like these people.
