Explain Curleys wife character

Curley's wife was a very interesting character in the story "Of Mice and Men". Her character in this story is like an outcast. She looking for someone to befriend her and listen to her. Curley's wife is miserable in love and in her life. Has no choice but to live on the barn because of her crushed dreams. If i can describe i will say shes miserable, misunderstood, and hurt.

Curley's wife is miserable why because of her crushed dreams. If it wasn't for her mother she will be out there in Hollywood making films like she always wanted. She wanted to live the the life of Hollywood but instead she got stuck on a barn with a man she doesn't like better yet love. Imaging living on a barn with a man you married just to get away from her mother so theres no love and he tries to keep you captive with no friends. That's not the life she wanted its the life she felt she had to take.

Misunderstood is the best definition to describe curley's wife. She has no type of friends male or female. So being the only female on the farm with nothing but hard working males looking for someone to talk to is hard. She always comes off as a tramp to the men on the men on the farm. But really they do not know her story and never took the time out to listen to her. When she confided in the one person who would listen to her he takes her young miserable, misunderstood life away.

Being hurt all her life she was just looking for a love, friendship, and a better life. No one not even her mother listened to her or understood her.And the she married a man to get away not for love. All she wanted was to be famous and do something that she loves. No wonder why she was so miserable. Her feeling was crushed in so many ways. So before describing her look outside the box.

What are three themes to describe this story?

It's many themes for "Of Mice and Men"but the three that stuck out most to me are Friendship, violence,and Opportunity. These three themes touched me they determine the people in the characters and what their life style is. Themes are what the characters about.

Everybody wants a friend someone who they can dream with, confide in, trust, have fun, and to just have someone who is there by their side to help them through thick and thin. George and Lennie had a friendship that was unusual but strong. George and Lennie had a friendship because she was lonely.And candy had a bond with his dog that was like a friendship. Some friendships can mean more to people rather you value yours, seeking one or have one with and animal.

Violence played and important role in this book. Lennie was always killing mice when petting them which shows that Lennie was a little rough.The dog was was important because the dog was all curely had. Curely had that dog since it was a pup. It was like losing a best friend.


opportunity was what everyone wanted. Lennie ans George wanted an opportunity to have a house own their own land and do all the work themselves and candy later wanted the same and joined in. Curley wife wanted an opportunity to be famous,to just be loved and no mirsable,but sadly all of their opportunities would be crushed slowly and painfully one by one.

All the characters are important in this story are Important.The themes go behind the story itself becoming their own character. Although different in every way but they have they have connection with the characters.

Name a theme for this story and explain why you choose it?

A theme for "Of Mice and Men"i choose was friendship. Friendship is a bond that George and Lennie have but express in a different way. Although George yells and sometimes treat Lennie like a child he always apologizes to Lennie. They are all each other haves they know it and they and value it.Its them against everyone else. George could of left Lennie in weeds to be found in killed but he didn't, which show that George cares for Lennie. Although their friendship is unusual it's strong and that they care. Lennie and George are like brothers thats how strong their friednship is.

Was Curleys wife what the men made her seem to be or just miserable and misunderstood?

Curleys wife is not what the men made her seem to be. She was just a young lady was very lonely and stuck. Her dreams of becoming an actress were crushed by her mother not allowing her to go on.Not ever receiving the promised letters from the man who told her she could be in films her little old her was crushed. To her she had no choice but to go ahead and marry Curley to get away from her mother. But with Curley she was still miserable so she did little things to entertain herself. Although the things she did it may had seem a little trampy. She had no girlfriends to socialize with she was surrounded by nothing but men and a with a man she didn't love. She confided in Lennie and expressed her feelings to Lennie about how she felt about every thing because there was no one else to. Curleys wife was just misunderstood and was looking for friendship, love, and happines

Who is carrying who in the story, is it George carrying Lennie or is Lennie carrting George?

I see it both ways, basically they both need each other to get by and they both depend on one another. Often in the story it seems as though George is carrying Lennie because Lennie is not that bright. Without Lennie George wouldn't be able to get work, and without George Lennie wouldn't know what to do. There were so many opportunities were George could of left Lennie but didn't because he knows he needs Lennie an Lennie needs him. They are each others support system and they know that they aren't complete with out each other.

The Demerit/ Merit System Adult Point of View


I walk into school and I look at the clock it’s 8:21, I’m late. Sign my late slip and goes to get my bag check. I hear “let me see your collard, your good now hurry up to advisory”, Ms. Morson is checking for collards. I check to see if I have a collard, I’m good. She stops me “your late again that’s five demerits, let me see your collard, your good you can go” all right bye Ms. Morson. “Wait a minute is that a hole in your jeans, second violation ten demerits, that puts you on probation now you can’t go out for lunch”.
The Demerit Merit system was issued at constitution high school in September of 2008. The system monitors student’s behavior. Students can earn Merits by doing good random acts. Students can earn demerits by not following the rules. The rules include uniform, lateness, and behavior.

Why wait three years later to add in a conflicting system. “The first school year wasn’t bad without the system but the system is good and effective” says Ms. Klose the art teacher here at Constitution. And the second year was fine to without it. What did we do wrong that we needed an “objective system” says dean of students Ms. Morson. What is and “objective system” anyway?

The system came without warning the prior year with no other signs of a new system coming in effect. The Demerit/Merit system monitors students academically, behaviorally,and attendance wise. It was shocking to students to know that when they came back to Con High on September of 2008 they would have new rules to follow such as the Demerit Merit system." The system is effective but it is not perfect, more students are taking notice and are concerned about how many demerits and merits they have" says dean of students Ms. Morson.

3:24 I'm about to leave to go home and the teacher tells me to go see Ms. Morison. Nay I told you that if you come in late or do anything you were going to be on probation. Now, to get off probation you have to serve two 30 min. detentions at lunch. Now I don't want to see you come in late or out of uniform.
