Of Mice and Men -Paper

In every bit of honest writing in the world there is a base theme. Try to understand men, if you understand each other you will be kind to each other. Knowing a man well never leads to hate and nearly always leads to love. There are shorter means, many of them. There is writing promoting social change, writing punishing injustice, writing in celebration of heroism, but always that base theme. Try to understand each other.– John Steinbeck in his 1938 journal entry[3](esta quotation ,podra ir en la introduction?)

My introduction
The American dream gave hope to more than a million people. Hard work amd free choice was the motto. However, some people still wonder if the American society was able to stand up and re-organize their lives again .We (aca no se si hay un problema de coherence-ya que arriba dice some people- igualmente me suena mejor dejar We que poner They ?????)might also questioned if everybody have the same opportunities (aca en realidad en el primer borrador escribi todo en forma de pregunta y despues lo cambie porque Pilar dijo que era muy dificil hacer preguntas en el paper).At this time not only The Great Depression but also The Dust Bowl made people go from place to place looking for the way to survive. As a result, feelings and emotions were left aside.People focus only in what they thought the priority was; food and shelter. Therefore,all their expectations were just a job.Crop pickers and hard work farmers were grateful of having a new opportunity but deep inside themselves they all dreamt about a land of their own.

My Thesis
Of Mice and Men is a novel that explores relationships in a crisis context.The two protagonists Lennie and George,two unconditional friends, a pair that relies one on the other suggest me (puedo poner first person???) the idea of going deeper into two themes, loneliness and friendship. Two extemes ,intensely closed one to the other as this two men are in this novel.

La verdad que a medida que uno lo va pasando va modificando un monton de cosas , no se si para bien o mal. Me gustaria opiniones y sugerencias para poder seguir adelante.
Don't forget to be patient!!! What a problem ,no??

  1. I corrected two things, In my intoduction instead of "At this time...", I wrote, " In this period ..", I think it sounds better- and at the end in my thesis I added , "Two extemes SO intensely closed...." Bye Ana

  2. Hi,
    ..."was able to stand up and re-organize their lives again " This is not clear, the word " able" should be changed by :"ready to face what this challenge meant". "People" , " They might also questioned": Serious mistake!! and why MIGHT?
    " Looking for the way to survive" A way?

    "People focus" Tense!

    "just a job" change this for: to get a job

    Do not use ME, suggest is ok.

    You are on the right track but please check data, I do not understand the coneection yopu make between the American dream and the Dust Bowl. The solution? Start with The Depression and the Dust Bowl, keep the American Dream for later on.

    Best
