April 17, Quote Sandwiches and Inferences

Hi everyone,

This week we are going to continue to understand the characters in Of Mice and Men.

In Google Docs, create a document called "Character Quote Sandwiches"

Pick a character from chapter 2 (Swamper, Boss, Curley, Curley's wife, Slim, Carlson).

Write paragraph for the character, as a quote sandwich, following this structure:

Top slice of bread = your thoughts, beliefs and ideas about the character.
In the middle is the meat = the quote from the story/article that teaches us about this character.
Bottom slice of bread = “this quotes shows us that…” Concluding sentences, again proving what you believe about this character.

  • When you are finished, post your quote sandwiches to our blog.

  • Finally, read the poem below and write another post in which you explain the connection between this poem and Of Mice and Men:

Alone by Maya Angelou

1. Lying, thinking

2. Last night

3. How to find my soul a home

4. Where water is not thirsty

5. And bread loaf is not stone

6. I came up with one thing

7. And I don't believe I'm wrong

8. That nobody,

9. But nobody

10. Can make it out here alone.

11. Alone, all alone

12. Nobody, but nobody

13. Can make it out here alone.

14. There are some millionaires

15. With money they can't use

16. Their wives run round like banshees

17. Their children sing the blues

18. They've got expensive doctors

19. To cure their hearts of stone.

20. But nobody

21. No, nobody

22. Can make it out here alone.

23. Alone, all alone

24. Nobody, but nobody

25. Can make it out here alone.

26. Now if you listen closely

27. I'll tell you what I know

28. Storm clouds are gathering

29. The wind is gonna blow

30. The race of man is suffering

31. And I can hear the moan,

32. 'Cause nobody,

33. But nobody

34. Can make it out here alone.

35. Alone, all alone

36. Nobody, but nobody

37. Can make it out here alone.

  2. Slim


    Top slice of bread
    I think Slim is a very confident and open minded man, who will try to help George and Lennie through the story.

    Meat
    On page 35 he says “Slim looked through George and beyond him “Ain’t many guys travel around together” he mused “I don’t know why. May be ever’body in the whole damn world is scared of each other”

    Bottom slice of bread
    This quote shows us that Slim is an open minded man, and he thinks people should trust each other more. Therefore he likes George and Lennie, and they will probably will be good friends.

    1. In the poem alone by Maya Angelou, the author is showing us how loneliness make life difficult we can see that in this quote
      “11. Alone, all alone
      12. Nobody, but nobody
      13. Can make it out here alone.” it shows us how the author is complain about loneliness. As in the poem, in the book of mice and men the same theme is discussed by the author. In this quote from the book. “Guys like us, that work on ranches are the loneliest guys in the world.They got no family, they don’t belong no place”. In this quote also we can see how the character is complain about how loneliness make life difficult as Angelou did in the poem. So this show that the book and the poem is connected together by the same theme. They discuss about the difficulties, the bad feelings that someone can have cause of loneliness. They all show us that loneliness make life difficult.

  3. Curley’s wife is a sexy and seductive person. She acts like a tart in the story because she always likes to give men the eye even she married already.”She put her hands behind her back and leaned against the door frame so that her body was thrown forward.”In this quote we see that she moves her body toward with a purpose, she wants to get attentions from George and Lennie.She feels lonely, so she likes to stay with different men.

    The boss is a little stocky man, he is pretty nice but sometime is mean and gives his guy hell.

    On pg.11 swamper appraise him,"Well,he's a pretty nice fella. Gets pretty mad sometimes, but he's pretty nice. Tell ya what-know what he done Christmas? Brang a gallon of whisky right in here and says,'Drink hearty boys.Christmas comes but once a year.'"

    In this quote we see that boss is a nice person. Swamper appraise he's nice but sometimes is mean. He brought whisky and shared with guys , everyone had fun and enjoy that night. He is generous to his workers.

  7. I think, Culey’s wife is not a good woman. She don’t seem like she like her husband, and she try to take attention of other men in the farm .

    On pg:34, I found a quote that shows us-”A girl was standing there looking in. She had full, rough lips and wide-spaced eyes, heavily made up. Her fingernails were red.”

    In this quote, Curley’s wife acts like a trote. Her dress up don’t looks normal. Specially in the farm. She may be alone, that is why she try to get attraction from other men in the farm.

  8. ’s wife is a women that always is looking a others Man she try to provocated others man for call they attention i think she do this because she feel alone that she think that she doesn’t nobody who love her .

    “I seen her given slim the eyes”
    page: 28

    this quote show us that Curley”s Wife she dislikes her husband and feels desperately lonely at the ranch, for she is the only woman and feels isolated from the other men and feel confortable about that men ar looking at her .

Married two weeks and got the eye? Maybe that’s why curley’s pants is full of ants.” In this quote we see that Curley’s wife wants other men attention and like to her.

  10. Curley is vicious person. This mainly because he hates big man, he wants to fight for them.

    On page 26, the swamper said “Well...tell you what. Curley’s like a lot of little guys. He hates big guys. He’s alla time picking scraps with big guys. Kind of like he’s mad at ‘em because he ain’t a big guy.”

    In this quote we see that Curley is thin, so he hates the guy who is strong than him, he wants to punch the big guy to win, to prove he is stronger than them.

      quizzes.

      11.No, i don’t feel that the grade i am getting right now is the best i can do.Because
      i didn’t do the writing assignment correctly and some of the test i fail.

      12.I have to follow the direction way the Ms give, do homework on time and during
      the test get the highest number to get a better grade next marking period.

      13.Pay attention during the class and do their homework on time.

  12. 1 The stable buck is an African-American , he is quiet and he likes to read all the time,but he can’t get any peace because everyone discriminates him . On page 20 , the swamper says,”They let the ____ come in that night . Little skinner name of Smitty took after the ____ . Done pretty good , too . The guys wouldn’t let him use his feet , Smitty says he woulda killed the ____ .” In this quote we can see that nobody likes to be with him , they let him join them just for fun , he can’t get any respect .

    2 on the line 30 of the poem ,the author says ” The race of man is suffering ” . It connects with the “Of Mice and Men “ because the stable buck in the story ia an African-American , everyone discriminated him , and he got the terrible treatment .

  14. ............................The Poem Replay...................................

    In the poem "Alone" by Maya Angrlou, the line #(11-13)-"Alone, all alone

    Nobody, but nobody

    Can make it out here alone.

    It reminds me about Curley's wife. I think, she don't see her husband a lot. Which makes her feel alone, and she don't want to be like that, and want some one to be with her. I think that is why she try to get attention from other men. I think, that is what the poem said. & I think, its not her fault.

  25. Carlson is a powerful,big-stomached man, he’s very polite. In the other hand, he’s very rude, this is mainly because this shows his characterization.

    On page 35: “Glad to meet you.”Carlson said again. “He ain’t very small.” She chuckled softly at his joke. “Ain’t small at all,” he repeated. “meant to ask you,Slim---how’s your bitch?I seen she wasn’t under your wagon this morning.”

    We can see that Carlson is very rude on joking others, This is a rude action. But he say hello to Slim, this shows he is very polite. So carlson is a kind of person that don’t do any thinking before the actions.

  26. The boss is a is a very imposing and arrogant likes to tell people they have to do. he’s little stocky, wears blue jeans trousers, flannel shirt, black unbuttoned vest and a black coat. as he is the boss, he thinks he's smart and hate that people try to cheat at him.

    “all right. But don't try to put anything over, ‘cause you can’t get away with nothing. I seen wise guys before.” -pag 23

    This shows us that he, the boss is a person of very strong character, and does not be intimidated by anyone,contrariwise he is dominant because he has the power.

    This quotes show us that Curley likes to fight and hate big guys because he is hardy.Besides,

    he is a polemical and presumptuous because he is boss’s son.In first,his attitude is so bad for

    George and Lennie. In Addition,he is a narrow-minded person because Swamper is afraid he too

      In the poem “Alone” line 11-13 :”alone,all alone Nobody, but nobody Can make it out here alone.”

      This quote can tell us that life is hard,but the loneliness make us more difficult. Although Lennie and George has different characterizations but they still make friends.Because if they do not have each other,the life will be harder.

      In the poem alone by Maya Angelou, the author is showing us how loneliness make life difficult we can see that in this quote
      “11. Alone, all alone
      12. Nobody, but nobody
      13. Can make it out here alone.” it shows us how the author is complain about loneliness. As in the poem, in the book of mice and men the same theme is discussed by the author. In this quote from the book. “Guys like us, that work on ranches are the loneliest guys in the world.They got no family, they don’t belong no place”. In this quote also we can see how the character is complain about how loneliness make life difficult as Angelou did in the poem. So this show that the book and the poem is connected together by the same theme. They discuss about the difficulties, the bad feelings that someone can have cause of loneliness. They all show us that loneliness make life difficult.

  38. This show us , many important thing like lennie make with george he always depended from him because he always follow him and made what george said and here in the poem like nobody but nobody can make it out here alone and that’s the case of lennie because always depend of george ,,
    and this is reality because when you need to do something and you don’t have nobody near you , you’ll feel very strange because you don’t have any help and this life with no help is not life and only is like we are live in the loneliness .

    The poem “Alone” by Maya Angelou and the book “Of maice and men” by John Steinbeck have connect point. And the author of the poem and the characters on the book have the some opinions about loneliness.
    Meat = Quote:
    The quote in the poem (line 11-13) “Alone, all alone, Nobody, but nobody, Can make it out here alone.”
    Bottom slice od bread:
    This quote connect with the book“Of mice and men”. Two literatures both represent the topic is alone. In the poem, the author is very lonely and nobody part with her, she has to live by herself. In the book, George and Lennie also are very loneliness and loneliness makes their life become more difficult. They have to work by their own hand and endure the lonely from the life.Therefore those two literature have common point, that is they both is describing the loneliness about the life.

    “ i’ll try to catch him”, said curley. his eyes passed over the new men and he stopped. he glanced coldly at george and then at lennie. his arms gradually bent at the elbows and his hands closed into fists. curley gingerly close to them.”

  42. This poem shows how alone the author Maya Angelou is.Because of loneliness, she feels life is hard, There is nobody care about her, she needs to take care of herself.

    In poem the line 28-30
    “ Storm clouds are gathering
    The wind is gonna blow
    The race of man is suffering”


    This poem shows the author feels alone, it’s the same as the character George of “Of Mice And Man”. Line 18-30 shows how alone the author is, she really has a very terrible mood. It’s similar to George because George always be angry, the loneliness make their mood terrible. Also the loneliness make their life hard.Because of loneliness, they both need to take care of themselves.Because of her bad mood, everything in her eyes are very bad and depress.

  43. Connection between the poem and Of Mice and Men:

    Is that the theme of “Of Mice and Men” is loneliness make life difficult and this poem is similar because talks about loneliness too.

    She is like expressing his feelings by the writing a poem about what he feels.
    And the story shows that if you are alone you can’t do anything. For example:
    Lennie can’t be alone because he has mental retardation and george is like his brother because george is with him all the time. Or curley because he is a rude guy that like to intimidated big guys by hate them.

    In the poem line 11-13 shows loneliness makes life difficult when she says:
    11. Alone, all alone
    12. Nobody, but nobody
    13. Can make it out here alone.

    This mean that nobody can’t do things alone, always people will need the support of others to almost achieve their goal.

    -This show that no one can achieve their goal without the help from other. It’s good to be with someone and have the support from others. It’s better to be in company than to be alone because that way you can do best thing and it hard to live alone without other people.

  45. Carlson is a gentle, polite and humorous person. His courteous behavior is response for us these characteristics.
    In the chapter 2, “Glad to meet ya,” the big man said, “My name is Carlson.” “I’m George Milton. This here is Lennie Small.” “Glad to meet ya,” Carlson said again. “He ain’t very small.” he chuckled softly at his joke.” Ain’t small at all.”[on Pg 35]
    This quote purposes that Carlson is a gentleman. Because he speaks to Lennie and George is very polite.

    “Alone” by Maya Angelou and “of mice and man” by John Steinback are purpose a common idea, which is loneliness makes life difficult.
    “. Alone, all alone
    Nobody, but nobody
    Can make it out here alone.”
    This quote purposes that people always stay together because if they circumscribed with people, they will feel alone. In “of mice and man“, George and Lennie always stay together, and George never put Lennie away, although Lennie always let George in trouble. They know that they haven’t friend else. As a result, they never let each other alone.

In the story, both Lennie and George are lonely, although they always stay together, their life still full of loneliness, and the loneliness makes their life become hard and full of troubles. Therefore, the poem”Alone” and the story “Of Mice and Man” are connected.
