Cliches of Mice and Men

Clichés of Mice and Men

 George looked up from shoeing the horse to see the outline of Curley’s wife in the doorway of the barn. They were alone. A look of arousal crossed Georges face while Curley’s wife sauntered at the door. But then George thought to himself “snap out of it she’s just trying to get me in to trouble”. So George gets up and try’s to walk out of the room using marshmallow feet.
Curley’s wife yells “hey where do you think your going”.
 I’m going home” said George your Candy says “your trouble and that I should stay away from you.” George quickens his pace,
Curley’s wife yells ‘c’mon I just wanted to talk” George says back “no...no... I’m getting the hell out of here!”
“Just wait!” cries Curley’s wife with a desperate sigh in her voice.
‘okay…okay!” says George “you get one minute” he says.
Thank you” says Curley’s wife with a smile of relief “and I’m…I’m… just looking for a friend” she says.
George suddenly than realizes that he should give her a chance, “alright, ill be your friend” says George. “Tell me what’s wrong” he says.
“Its my husband, Curley... He’s just god damn mean!” Curley’s wife says.
Well no duh...everyone knows that!” George says. “Why did you even marry him to begin with?” he says.
“I was lonely… and I don’t like being alone!” Curley’s wife says.
“Why don’t you just leave him and find a better man? … There’s lots of fish in see the sea” says George.
 “I don’t know about that” says Curley’s wife, “no one will ever want me” she says. Georges heart was touched, “oh c’mon don’t be like that! I bet you there are tons of guys round here that dream about being with you everyday”…”including me” he says softly.
Your too kind George and what was that?” Curley’s wife says.
“Thanks” he says, “and oh nothing” he says softly. “But I think your minute is up” he says, as he slowly turns around, thinking that someone is going to walk in on them.
“Okay, well thanks George hopefully ill talk to you again soon” Curley’s wife says.
Maybe we will…just maybe” George says as he smirks leaving the door way.

 The magnificent Josh Janz has many different names such as "loser" and "fat boy" but he likes to think of himself as the biggest beauty in the school. In his mind he truly thinks he is the biggest jock in the school but everyone knows he couldn't even make the cross country team (which you don't even have to tryout for ). Although josh has many downfalls his godly rock hard abs make up for his marshmallow bingo wings. He has mad charisma when he talks to the school chess team ladies. He also has the nickname as "the school spaz" because if someone talks to him while he is writing a test he will stand up like Godzilla and throw his desk around the classroom and then storm out slamming the door leaving a thunderous bang! Josh Janz is a very "special" individual who only comes around every blue moon.

Identities

English essay-Identities


  Have you ever been stereotyped before? A man driving a Mercedes Benz through a rough neighborhood sets the back drop of this short story Identities by W.D Valgardson illustrates 3 main elements, stereotype, symbolism and juxtaposition. This story is about the discrimination and stereotypes that “good” people make all the time.

He illustrates stereotypes when the man “is driving in his grey Mercedes Benz” that he is quite wealthy. Another way the other shows stereotyping is when he describes this group of people standing by the corner store in the darkness; the leader having a “beard” and wearing “sunglasses” and having “a fringed leather vest” on shows the stereotype of them being a tough gang. One more way he describes stereotypes is when the author points out that the “girl is [way] better looking then she should be for such companions”. This shows a stereotype where the author believes the girl is better than the other members of the group.

There are many ways the author illustrates symbolism. Especially when the man is reaching for his wallet to show the officer his “identity”; his “identity” is both his identification to the police as well as whom he is as a person: an affluent, middle class, responsible family man. Another way he shows symbolism is when “he is driving a grey Mercedes Benz”; this symbolizes status, that he is a very wealthy man. The author shows juxtaposition when the man is driving through the neighborhood and notices the contrast that the houses have no “artificial divisions”, “there is room enough for everyone. [But] now as he passes grey stone gates, the yards are all proscribed by stiff picket fences and quickly certain untidiness creeps in.” This is showing the contrast from him driving past the ghetto and then through the suburbs.



The author, W.D Valgardson uses the element stereotype in his theme; the “good” side and the “bad” side. The officer is a good example of how stereotypes are formed by fear and discrimination.

The Final Year              

   As I wondered up to the school I realized this is the last year I am ever going to look at this school…This is the last year I’m going to be able to share all the special moments with my friends. After thinking this I decided I’m going to cherish every moment I have with them because it will we the stories that I will look back to and laugh or smile... It will be the stories that I tell me children and hopefully my grandchildren but then when I walked in to the school this is just a very small piece of the pie and I still have so much to see and do. Then there is the final question have I learned enough from my peers to accomplish something extraordinary in the real world...I believed I have because of the teachers at Maggie… they rounded me in to this special individual that will hopefully achieve greatness. I can’t wait to prove what I am made of, after I take my final steps as I high school student across the stage while all eyes are on me for one last time…
