Chapter Two of “Of Mice and Men”
Chapter Two“used to wash his hands even after he ate”
This kind of behavior kinda creeps me out. I mean seriously who ever stays that clean, its gross….Its creepy in a way…Like they need to be completely sterile or something….it’s just not right….there is bacteria all over….in the air, your skin, your body….so what’s the point of trying to keep yourself “clean” like that……..(now that my slightly off topic rant is done)….But in the book, i think the old swamper is just saying this to make the bed and room less dirty and gross.
”Ya see the stable buck’s a nigger”
I hate how it just seems like people back then treated people who looked different like animals… Well not just seems, they did treat them like that. It’s horrible to imagine what those people went through…It’s not right, Just because someone was born with different pigmentation doesn’t mean they should be treated like crap…..thank god its a little better….not by much…..but at least they are seen with a little more equality.
“Where the hell is that god damn nigger?”
For some reason I seem to be on a antiracist rant today. See this statement just shows that “white” people have no respect for the “colors”. They don’t even say the name. They just act like the “nigger” is their property, an object. It bothers me greatly because people are people no matter what. No matter what color they are, what sex they are, what orientation they are. They are just people. Brothers and sisters, if you will. But that view all depends on what your view is on the ”creation” of the Earth….but that’s a totally different and off subject rant.
“Her voice had a nasal, brittle quality”
This statement makes me think that this girl is a whiner…..I have no idea why, its just an image that popped in my head. And this girl seems to be a brat and a trouble maker who loves attention…..She just seems to be the type to be unfaithful. This trait might be the cause of some conflicts later on.
