Of Mice & Men: Blog 4

Chapter 4 Response

Art Museum

-Sorry about the picture being so small. :(
I chose this picture because it indicates the main theme, loneliness. It's portraying what Curley's Wife, Lennie, and Crooks feel everyday of their lives. In the movie and book it seems as though it's all they ever really wanted.. They just wanted someone to talk to, to play with, to enlighten them. They wanted someone who could just be there. &This picture shows the loneliness, and being away from others. It shows how badly he or she wants someone to converse with.

Chapter 4 Written Response

In class we talked about how some people wouldn't be able to stomach the racism that Steinbeck's book brings, and that they would be more capable of enjoying the film if they did things Sinise's way, which more so focusing on the loneliness, rather than racism. But, another reason why Sinise chose to play up the loneliness is because there's still racism in this world. So I guess Sinise thought about the fact that who would want to see a film on racism? &How would the rates of my film be. So he thought of a different way, loneliness. Which totally makes sense once you actually stop to think about it.
