Lennie to Mentally Challenged people today
Lennie is one of many main characters from the book Of Mice and Men and he is a mentally challenged male. A lot of people as they read the book say things, make faces, and even laugh. Today in this world when people see someone who is mentally challenged they just stare and laugh at things they ay and do, it is very wrong. I feel bad for Lennie and other mentally challenged people because they don’t do things the way we do, and they always need help.
“He look stupid, he weird, oh my god he talk funny”, that is some of the mean things my classmates and other people say about Lennie and probably about people on the street that are like that. I feel bad that the fact you can see them self-saying hello to everybody and then everybody is laughing at him or her. Yes they are slow but they are human just like us. Lennie works and has a lot of friends that love being around him and looking out for him just like they are today.
Laughing, pointing, trying not to make them see that you’re smiling. These are some of the faces that some of us make when we see somebody that is mentally challenged and it is very wrong of us. They are very friendly and caring. If they are walking down the street you can see them and they will have a conversation with you like know you forever. But they are always sweet and everything but people are always making faces at them and never try to help anybody that is mentally challenged, like George does for Lennie in the book.
Laughing is a major part of what people do to the mentally challenged they see them. Also just like in the book Of Mice and Men they always doubt the slow ones and never give them a chance or anything, then once they walk out of the room everybody laughs. They are laughing because the mentally challenged are not like them, and some people that make fun of them are the one’s that never take nay time out to get to know them. In the book Of Mice and Men Curely wanted to fight Lennie because of how he was acting.
Lennie reminds me a lot like today’s world because they are a lot of mentally challenged people out here in the real world. They are kind and sweet, and yes they symbolize a kid, but they are very emotional and have a big heart. Lennie relates to a lot of things in the real world. They are sweet people and are very kind they hard to laugh at for me because I feel bad for them. They aren’t like us they have a problem and hat we say can hurt them badly.

Symbols (Between the Line)
Curely’s wife to all the women in todays world…
Curely’s wife, no name, good looking and also taken to be a “ flirt”. This woman to me in the book represents every woman in today’s world for all of those reason’s. She has no name in the book for a reason, it isn’t because she is not one of the main characters but it is because she holds her own ground like a strong women. She is a very good looking women for how they described her, but knows how to handle being good looking. Also she is known to be a “ flirt” because of how she acts but most of women to act like that to be friendly. She represents every woman, from when the book was written until now. Strong women, and never says no.

Setting (between the line)
Why does the whole book take place in a ranch?
I think that the book Of Mice and Men take place in a ranch is for a couple of reasons. One, that so they can show you Lennie’s child side, second to show you how opened minded they were and third, to make you see the beauty behind them. It showed you Lennie’s child side by making him play with puppies and all. Also to show how opened mind George and Lennie are by them wanting to go buy a farm. Last but not least to make you see the beauty they have in them self’s by being nice and caring at times. But the setting of this book did take place on a ranch but it showed you all of these things.

Conflict (between the lines)
Why did Curly want to fight Lennie?
Of Mice and Men Curley was a big shot, a fighter, and also a though guy. They are all of the reason’s why Curley wants to fight Lennie. Curley thought he was a big shot until Lennie came into town and Curley was picking on Lennie, then Lennie broke Curley’s hand. Curley is a fighter wanted to go fight Slim for something that wasn’t even anything. Last but not least Curley was though guy because he was picking on Lennie for who he was. Curely is just a mean person at heart and I think you can see that now, so that is my reason why he wanted to fight Lennie.

Motifs (between the line)
Lennie Angle or Devil ??
Lennie has a thing to always make something happen when it wasn’t. First, the dead mice, second the dead puppy, and third he killed Curley’s wife. Lennie and George were drinking the dirty water when George realized what Lennie had. Secondly Lennie was in the barn playing with the puppies and then all of a sudden he did something to the dog, once again something dead. Lastly, Lennie was in the barn with Curley’s wife and he was playing with her hair and then he snapped her neck. So do you think this is a reason this is happening or because Lennie doesn’t know when to stop? That is up to you but to me Lennie don’t know when to stop.

Where you been Ms. Martin ?
She her walking down the hallway, smiling, saying hello, but once you step into Ms. Martin’s office, it is a total different ballgame.
Ms. Martin is the nurse here at Constitution High School (Con High) for the past three years. She has dealt with many kids being sick and coming to school, getting sick in school, and everything else you can imagine. But there are something’s that we as students don’t really like.
Ms. Martin is a very good nurse here at Constitution High. She looks after alot of sick kids here. She also is a very good person to talk too. She is very caring the boys and girls here but there is a side of her that alot of students get. Ms. Martin is a very kind woman that works here, one of many.
One usually depending on a school nurse when they are sick with a stomach aces, headaches, and fever’s, Ms Martin is suppose to do something for these things, and care to her students but is she really there, that’s our question.
There are things that we feel as if they are wrong of her to do. Arrogance, “ feels like a announce when I go to her” Labriah Morgan 10th grader. Looks, “ Always gives this look like she don’t want to see us or something” Brandon Roman 10th grader. Caring, “ When I go to her I feel like she really don’t care” Jessie Tepoz gradating 2011.
Arrogance is one of the main parts of Ms. Martin. Many kids that I have spoken with have felt the same way. But also some kids say that a couple of times they have went to her she was very kind, but also that she must have been having a good day because she is never that nice, some kids said. “ When I went to her and I was getting sick she wouldn’t send me home she kept me in school, and she was very ignorant, made me feel like she didn’t even care” Labriah Morgan 10th grader.
Looks, well there is a lot to say about the looks that Ms. Martin gives to her sick students when they go to her to get care. During the past week I have tried to interview Ms. Martin several of times and every time I have went to her she had said “ I am to busy come back tomorrow”. But she gave me this look as to where she didn’t want to be bothered. “ When I went I to her, she made me full out a paper, took my temperature, and then sent me back to class with a 99.8 fever”. Jessie Tepoz gradating 2011.
Caring. Ms. Martin makes the kids at Con High feel as if she doesn’t care if they are really sick or not. “ I mean I don’t know if she just don’t like me or if that is just how she is” Brandon Roman 10th grader. She makes all of the kids at Con High feel this way. Even when I went to her for the interview she didn’t even care what my article is about or anything.
So Ms. Martin is the nurse here at Con High but is she really taking care of her students here? Some kids feel as if she is very mean and ignorant and I am sure that she is a very nice person. But every time you go to her she is in a bad mood. So how would you take that? Yes she has her bad days, but all and all she is a very nice and kind woman that is here for the students durning the week. She migiht have her bad days, alot of work on her desk, alot of students to take care of and that depend on her. But the qestion is one that I have and I would have asked her in the interview is, why sometimes when students come to you are you mean?
Ms. Martin, kind, sweet, caring. But also at times mean. But everyone here at Con High is very respecting of her, for what she has to deal with here from the students that are cocky.
