Of Mice and Men- Characters

Lennie

"Walked heavily" it shows he is quite heavy and big, and is a heavy footer.  However this could also mean he has the mind of a child, he might not really want to walk anywhere so he is dragging his feet. "Snorting into the water like a horse" could show that he likes to act like an animal as he has a mind of a child.  Lennie has a slow way of thinking and needs to have support.

George:George is described to have "restless eyes" which suggests he is tired of looking after Lennie, it may also show he has been working hard. He is "small and quick". He is also is "dressed in denim'" which suggests that he works on the ranch. He moves around to get work at the ranches but cannot seem to get a job as he is always having to look after Lennie.

Slim

For his clothing it says he has a "denim jacket" which shows he is one of the workers. It also shows he is "not of knowing, but of thought" people listen to him which means they must trust him.

Which shows he does mop the floors. He owns a old smelly dog. He is a "tall" old man, with "stooped shouldered" which shows he is old and worn out.

Curly

In the book it describes him as a "Little guy" which shows he is small. "Scrappy" candy isalways up for fights and because he is the bosses son he goes for taller men as he knows they wont do anything back to him. It says "pick on somebody his own size" in the book so if he gets beaten up by a bigger man they can say that however if he wins he will look good because they are taller than him.

Is there a way of identifying youth gang members before they get into trouble? According to last night’s Waterloo Road (BBC One), there is.

They all speak in the most monumental yoof clichés. Ask your granny to do an Ali G impression and that’s the kind of lingo they be talkin’ innit, blud.

Last night’s plot took up after a mid-series break that doubled as the Easter holidays.

We began with the DSC crew (“It stands for… trouble,” said Marc Benton’s feckless teacher Chalky) infiltrating Rochdale’s most un-bog-standard comp, tagging their way round the maths room and wearing too much hair gel.

Led by Mason (Kaine Barr), a tearaway fresh from Young Offenders Institute, they all walked like they’d run out of loo roll, and their mates had Staffies on chain leads.

waterloo road is the best tv programme ive ever watched. for me it tops eastenders and coronation street by miles. watching waterloo road makes me wish that my school was like that nothing interesting goes on in our school its just boring and i wish some teachers could be more understanding rather than shout at you they should be like the teachers on waterloo road willing to hear your say instead of making the situation worse because you havnt had your say. whoever aint watching waterloo road WATCH IT!!! ITS THE BEST PROGRAMME ON TV I LOVE IT :D
