The colors black and white represented the bad times in life, and the brighter colors meant for the happy times. Living in a black and white world meant that you were always looking for the brighter days in life. One example of this from the story is when Johnny is dying and he says, “Stay gold, Ponyboy.

He tells Ponyboy to stay gold, which meant for him to strive to be the light in a very dark world. Throughout the story, Ponyboy is often caught looking for the brighter times in life. “When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home.

In the novel Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, one of the main characters, George, had come upon an unthinkable situation, where he best friend, Lennie, murders the wife of Curley. George faces the decision to weather let Lennie live, and suffer from Curley's vengeance, or to end Lennie's life permanently, and save him from suffering.

In the book Of Mice and Men many bad and good things happen to the protagonists George and Lennie. Overall, more bad things happen than good. That is why I think the color red represents the book the best. Red represents this book because there is death, there is evil, and there is power. All of these things are associated with the color red. Also, all of these things have a role in the book Of Mice and Men. All of these things can cause emotion which is another thing the color red represents. When there is death people are sad and angry, when someone is evil this usually causes anger, and power can cause many emotions. There are many other things that the color red represents can these are only a few of them.

Steinbeck’s story Of Mice and Men represents the color red because of all the cold feelings passed around between George and Lennie and everyone around them.

He is a representation of the lives of the mentally disabled, which are often controlled by others in order to maintain safety. Throughout the book, many examples of George expressing control over Lennie’s life can be observed, however one of the most clear examples of this control is the scene in which George decides to kill Lennie in order to spare him from his impending doom. This is an example like many others, but it is fundamentally different in that it shows the most extreme of cases, one in which the decision of whether one’s life should or should not end is made by someone else with no regards to the opinions and choices of the person to which this is most concerning, he who has a gun held against his head. This last choice is denied from Lennie, just like every other before

George saved Lennie by shooting him with a gun in the back of the head. It was fast and painless, but Curley had other plans for Lennie, “We oughtta let ‘im get away. You don’t know that Curley. Curley gont’ta wanta get him lynched. Curley’ll get ‘im killed”( Steinbeck 94). Candy knows that Curely will lynch Lennie if he finds him. George knew he had to find Lennie before Curley.

Currently, on the island, the beast was in everyone's thoughts and dreams. During the night, the littluns would scream during their sleep due to a figure known as the beast. Jack exclaims to Ralph that there was no beast on the island and there is nothing to be afraid of. Later on, in chapter 5 during an assembly, Jack declared that “...We’re strong–we hunt! If there’s a beast, we’ll hunt it down! We’ll close in and beat and beat and beat–!” (91). Jack is exclaiming to the boys that there is a beast and he will hunt it down and beat it, even though he previously said to Ralph that the beast is a myth

A defining characteristic represented in Steinbeck's novel, Mice and Men is ableism. Lennie exhibits ageism when he targeted by George, for forgetting something. “George scowled over at Lennie. ‘So you forgot alwready, did you? Jesus christ crazy bastard!’” This quote on page three proves how in even the start of the book, Lennie is facing verbal abuse for his inability to remember things. Those facing ableism are generally not as smart or knowledgeable as those who aren't.
