Of Mice and Men
Of Mice and Men (1992)

IMDB rating: 7.50

Plot: Based on John Steinbeck’s 1937 classic tale of two travelling companions, George and Lennie, who wander the country during the Depression, dreaming of a better life for themselves. Then, just as heaven is within their grasp, it is inevitably yanked away. The film follows Steinbeck’s novel closely, exploring questions of strength, weakness, usefulness, reality and utopia, bringing Steinbeck’s California vividly to life.

Directors: Sinise Gary

Actors: Malkovich John,Sinise Gary,Walston Ray,Siemaszko Casey,Terry John,Riehle Richard,Arquette Alexis,Morton Joe,Willingham Noble,D’Angerio Joe,Milligan Tuck,Steen David,Boone Junior Mark,Drama,

How does John Steinbeck create a beleiveable world in Mice and Men?
how does he make it realistic..i have to talk about Candy and places but i don’t know how to do these two?


- at the time when he wrote the book, America was in the great depression and trying to recover from the wall street crash which happened in 1929. Most of the people in America lived this story every day (apart from having your best friend kill everything) but they were ranchers. they worked hard to earn a little amount of money.

–one of the main themes in of mice and men is dreams. dreams make the story more believable as even in modern times dream is one of the things that keep people going throughout the day. Steinbeck points out the dreams that some of the characters have and emphasises on how the dream keeps them going. for example, when George kills Lennie, its as if he’s killed any chance of their dream coming true.

-george’s surname is milton. steinbeck gives george a ‘normal’ surname to show that he’s like everyone else and that it could be anyone in his position

Wanna read some hilariously funny true Readers Digest stories?
Gee, Thanks for the Help
43. For some reason, the bookstore clerk couldn’t get the computer to recognize my preferred customer card. Peering over her shoulder at the screen, I said, "There’s part of the problem. It shows my birth date as 12/31/1899."
"That’s right," my husband chimed in. "She was born in June, not December."
–M. Patricia Capin

44. At 82 years old, my husband applied for his first passport. He was told he would need a birth certificate, but his birth had never been officially registered.
When he explained his dilemma to the passport agent, the response was less than helpful. "It’s all right," the agent said. "Just bring a notarized affidavit from the doctor who delivered you."
–Elgarda Ashliman

War Stories
45. Short and baby-faced, my buddy Wiggins had trouble being taken seriously in the Army. A mustache, he assumed, would fix that. He was wrong.
"Wiggins!" bellowed our drill instructor after spotting the growth during inspection. "What’s so special about your nose that it’s got to be underlined?"
–K. Trott

46. While my husband was stationed overseas, our four-year-old daughter decided that she needed a baby brother.
"Good idea," I told her. "But don’t you think we should wait till your father’s home?"
She had a better idea. "Why don’t we just surprise him?"
–Kay Schmidt

47. During basic training, our drill sergeant asked all Jewish personnel to make themselves known. Six of us tentatively raised our hands. Much to our relief, we were given the day off for Rosh Hashanah.
A few days later, in anticipation of Yom Kippur, the sergeant again asked for all Jewish personnel to identify themselves. This time, every soldier raised his hand. "Only those who were Jewish last week can be Jewish this week," declared the sergeant.
–Allen Israel

48. Just before I was deployed to Iraq, I sat my eight-year-old son down and broke the news to him.
"I’m going to be away for a long time," I told him. "I’m going to Iraq."
"Why?" he asked. "Don’t you know there’s a war going on over there?"
–Thomas Cioppa

49. When I worked as a medical intern in a hospital, one of my patients was an elderly man with a thick accent. It took a while before I understood that he had no health insurance. Since he was a World War II vet, I had him transported to a VA hospital, where he’d be eligible for benefits.
The next day, my patient was back, along with this note from the VA admitting nurse: "Right war, wrong side."
–M. Murray

50. Few people outside the military know what a quartermaster does. So during my aircraft carrier’s Family Day, I demonstrated a procedure called semaphore-I grabbed my flags and signaled an imaginary boat.
When finished, I pointed to a little girl in front and asked, "Now do you know what I do?"
"Yes," she answered. "You’re a cheerleader."
–Danny Sullivan


I like your collection from Readers Digest-stars for all of them……….

What does a mouse feel after it's eaten mouse poison?
I’ve heard that ingesting the poison causes the mouse to seek water. Is this true? And what does the poison cause the mouse to feel? Is it just a feeling of thirst or anything else? And if there is a source of water nearby, will the mouse most likely die there or does the seeking of water not last up until the moment of death?
Oh, no, no, this isn’t my pet. It’s a rodent that has invaded my home. But the only "rodent" question section was under "pets," so i put it here.


what they do is they show signs that they are sick to others to warn them of the danger of the poison. They seek water to flush their bodies of the toxin. They just instinctively know to gorge themselves with water… they don’t ‘get thirsty’. It’s pretty much based on it they are strong enough to withstand the poison, not if they get to water or not. They can get water and still die from it.
Hidari K | Feb 07, 2010


Oh my goodness, what a horrible question! I don’t think you’re going to get an answer that won’t insult you… who knows, someone might think your pet mouse got a hold of some and might be horrified by the question.
Lydia | Feb 07, 2010


The comonest mouse poison has the anticoagulant pival as its main ingredient. The chemical causes the mouse to bleed to death internally after it is eaten over a period of several days.. The mouse does not feel any pain just weakness until it dies. It does not seek out water. That is an old wives tale.
George | Feb 07, 2010


Like the other poster said, most poisons have an anticoagulant which causes them to bleed internally. I would have to disagree that bleeding internally is painless though. Im sure there are alot of people in the hospital or have been in the hospital that would disagree vehemently.

How can I find out how many copies an album has sold?
I’m trying to find out how many units two of my favorite records of all time sold (Chino XL - Here To Save You All & Ras Kass - Soul On Ice). They were released around ‘94-’96 on major labels, and they both peaked the top 40, but today they’re out of print. So I’m trying to find out how many units each record sold; billboard.com doesn’t work and I’ve looked everywhere…There’s gotta be a way to find this, right? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Dante

Can you start a garden on top of a preexisting garden?
We had a small vegetable garden and a few months ago some major life things happened so we completely forgot about our garden. What I was wondering, is do we need to pull up all of the dead plants or can we just bury them there? Would this nutritionalize the soil or would it just be better to pull them all up?
I think the only reason they are dead is that they starved to death because we forgot to water them for a few monthes, and didn’t protect them during the winter.


I think the mole people would love to eat any old plants you have. That is why I bury pies vegetable pies of course. Don’t tell me they don’t exist i saw one although it could have just been a badger ^^
Anonymous 000 | Feb 08, 2010


If the plants were diseased you may have to start anew. You should pull up the dead plants and throw them away. This is important because some disease can live in the soil for many years. You must also before you take any action, you should identify what the problem is. (I.E. Is it Root Root (Phytophthora?, Nematodes?) But if you know that it is free of these pest then you can put it over but generally, you want to removes the previous plants. If you don’t then you run the risk of re infecting the plants. Nothings to stop you from doing that, however. But if You want to, you can experiment with a crop and see what happens then and take the steps to prevent. The reason is I suggest crop rotation if you must plant in the same space again as some "pests" cannot survive in the host’s absence. The key her is prevention and it will save you a lot down the road. Keep the plants healthy and you should do fine. Good Luck!

What is the movie where in one scene, a hitman with glasses and brown trenchcoat turns on mafia to save a k?
I know the father of the kid has a nail shot through his hand into the kitchen table, or his hand is hit with a hammer on the same table. Then after the father gives unsatisfactory answer to the mobsters, the hitman is told to kill the kid and/or father of the kid, and instead he shoot the mafiosos in the room, tells the kid to hide under the sink, and then stalks through the house killing all the other mobsters. He uses two automatic glock pistols with oversized magazines during the scene, and cleans his glasses at the end, and then is shot by the last mobster. Ive been trying to figure it out for ages and its really frustrating. I know its not Lucky # Slevin, Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels, or Road to Perdition. It isnt Leon the Proffesional, the hitman’s glasses in the scene Im trying to find are square, not round, his trenchcoat is a light tan color, not the dark one Leon wears. I just skimmed through the whole Leon movie and its not in there.


Leon the Professional.

- O sorry, I didn’t read the whole post. But a scene like this does happen in Leon right at the beginning. After this movie was made, a bunch of wannabes came along and copied the style a few hundred times over, so it could really be any movie.

Sorry if that was no help.

My daughter has become a little morbid. Help?
My daughter is 13 years old and has become a little dark with her way of thinking, fashion sense, music style ect. Examples: She now listens to music that is all screaming and cursing. She dresses in a style reminiscent of Lolita Goth fashion. When I asked her why she didn’t want a birthday party she replied "Why should I? It’s only another year closer to death." Her favorite movies also changed to Sweeney Todd, Repo! The Genetic Opera (which she will not let me watch with her. She first saw it on the internet without telling me first.), and she loves the SAW films. I’m worried that she is becoming a dark person for acceptance. She has also recently lost her friends. One girl started rumors about her and all the other friends left my daughter, which has left her even more depressed. So, any suggestions on why this is happening to her and how I should take this behavior? Also, it would be greatly appreciated if someone could tell me why the movie "Repo! The Genetic Opera" is rated R. She says its because of language and some blood. Anything would be greatly appreciated.


Lol, Teenagers.

She’s a goth/emo not sure which is which as am too old for that now, my younger cousing was like this, she grew out of it at about 17 / 18… funnily enough around the same time it was legal for her to go out to pubs and clubs

I will be traveling to Tulum, Mexico in July.?
I’m traveling to Tulum in July. Where is the best/safest place to stay along the beach? Has anyone had experiences with Zazilkin or Secret Garden tulum (I know this is not on the beach). Is a hotel not on the beach really such a bad thing? Are the beaches of Tulum public, or does this depend.


my mom want there and she loved it

HAVE A GOOD TIME
Hayden | Jan 31, 2010


Yes, the beaches are public. However, you can’t cross private property to get to them. It’s a very safe area, but with that said, don’t do anything crazy. I haven’t stayed at any hotels in Tulum since I own properties just north of there (Playa de Carmen and Tanakah). Have you tried tripadvisor.com? There are so many reviews out there I’m sure you can find what you are looking for.

I hope you enjoy your stay. It’s a beautiful area.
