Comparing The Pet In John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

John Steinbeck could be comparing lennie to a dog because they both were shot.

For example, Candy and his dog went to the bunkhouse and Carlson told Candy to shoot his dog, but Candy replied with, “I’ve been around him so much I never noticed how he stinks… No, I couldn’t do that. I had him too long” (Steinbeck 44-45). This shows that Candy has been with his dog for a long time and would do anything for him. This is important because later on, he agreed with Carlson to shoot his dog, because his dog was old and suffering, and he did not want his dog to be in any more pain.

Steinbeck’s introduction of Lennie infers he has animalistic characteristics that he’s ‘a huge man, shapeless of face, with large, pale eyes, with wide, sloping shoulders: and he walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws.’ Steinbeck’s vocabulary in this phrase teaches us a lot about Lennie, for example we can understand he is a physically big person from the adjectives like ‘huge’, ‘large’, and ‘wide’. Also describing his eyes as ‘pale’ could be indicative of the knowledge behind them, or more accurately the lack thereof. It suggests that in reality he has a tendency to be absent-minded. Within this description of Lennie, we come across the first piece of animal imagery, where Steinbeck presents Lennie as a bear who ‘drags his paws’.

Being sheltered since birth from evil and poverty she is loving and caring for all those around her no matter where they live or what they look like because she sees the good in all people around

“And he walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws,” (Steinbeck 2) “Lennie covered his face with huge Paws and bleated with Terror,” (Steinbeck 63) “He pawed up the heading to apartment covered her.” (Steinbeck 92) “‘They’ll take ya to the booby hatch. They’ll tie ya up with a collar, like a dog.” (Steinbeck 72).

I would like to take a moment to talk about the two most important and influential people in my life my parents Sabrina and Darren Hardnick.

"You seen what they done to my dog tonight? They says he wasn 't no good to himself nor nobody else. When they can me here I wisht somebody 'd shoot me..." - ( Steinbeck, 60. ) Candy, and his dog.

John Steinbeck the author of “Of Mice and Men” often uses animal imagery when discussing or describing Lennie. He describes him very specific and discusses all his actions similar to an animals. I think that Steinbeck really put thought in all of Lennie’s actions and descriptions so that the reader can really see the comparison between Lennie and an animal. Steinbeck uses this animal imagery when describing Lennie quite often to show how he is helpless, acts like an animal , and is innocent and defenseless just like the mice and the rabbits that Lennie really found a strong connection with. Steinbeck uses animal imagery to show how Lennie is helpless.
