A picture of paradise, a place were our characters plan to escape the horrible depression. But does this land exist?
Throughout the book, it like the land is a constant image, in fact in some cases being the plot point of entire sections. But until Candy offers to pitch in money, it presents that George only thinks it in his head.
"I seen hunderds of men come by on the road an' on the ranches, with their bindles on their back an' that same damn thing in their heads. Hunderds of them. They come, an' they quit an' go on; an' every damn one of 'em's got a little piece of land in his head. An' never a God damn one of 'em ever gets it." Crooks says.
After George kills Lennie, Candy asks if they were going to get the land. George responded that he knew inside they never really were going to get land , it was just a story to drive Lennie. George stated that he believed for a while that they were. But not in the end.
Is this the same in the plans of others, or is the case of George and Lennie's land, just in their heads.
Try to fix the layout and spacing. You may have to create a new post to get it right. I don't think you need that picture twice the way you have it. It looks good in the text, and tacked on at the end there. You should check the character whom you quote. I don't think it was Candy that said that.
ReplyDeleteGood Job making a strong point though. :-)
