New book as semester closes

Hello Everyone!

Since I finished Of Mice and Men, I'll start by wrapping that book up and discussing a new book that I started reading.

At the ending, John Steinbeck brilliantly returns to the original beautiful scene that Lennie and George had been standing with each other at. Many subtle differences expresses the danger that might proceed.
"A silent head and beak lanced down and plucked it out by the head, and the beak swallowed the little snake while its tail waved frantically." shows the danger of the snake who was affected by forces he could not control just like Lennie.

Lennie begins to imagine about what George would say and his Aunt Clara, and brings the emotional part out of this story. When George comes back, it is very depressing, as we know something bad will happen, but George passes it off and acts happy and forgiving.

When George makes the necessary decision, we know that it was his only option, as that would be totally out of character otherwise. In this cruel world where their dreams never came true, none of the other workers even understand why he did this except Slim.

Also, I began reading the Lord of the Flies. This discusses a plot where many British boys are stranded on an island.
The author uses body shapes to show different representations of characters into our society. Ominously the author describes the horrors of society coming out.
