"It is lonliness that makes the loudest sound. This is true of men as of dogs."-Eric Hoffer. People who need that attention, who need that compliment they usually fish for, the person whos tries so hard to be something they are not, they are the people who are lonly. The attention that some people need but never get because they never had anything to look forward to. They never had a dream or confidence to conquer that lonliness. A dream is something everyone should have. Something they work hard for to accomplish or otherwise it becomes a chore. A dream can be anything from sky driving to just restoring a vehicle. In the book "Of mice of men"-John Stienback, I will be explaining to you a couple characters of true lonliness.

First, Candy. Candy is a senior figure with not much left in him and not much to look forward to. With only one hand, he will most likly get fired and payed by the government. When George and Lennie came into the picture Candy really hadn't had much future. Candy wanted part of George and Lennie's dream: to have a small amout of land, live off what they could. Up untill Lennie had killed Curly's wife, Candy had something. John Steinback did a good job portrarying loniliness. Ranchers like Candy just end up working till they are useless. They are honestly two themes. Loniliness, and betrayal. A rancher with a dog is better than just a rancher, in this case Candy had to say bye to his dog- because of old age- and didnt even kill him himself, which just means a even emptier rancher. -"I ought to shot that dog myself George. I shouldn't have let no stranger shoot my dog."- Candy

Next, George, also known as the care taker of lennie. Lennie not being so bright leaves George with a heavy useless load. This book is basically themed off of Lennie's death. George always explains how Lennie is pain and that at the end of the month he could take his 50 dollars and spend his night drinking alchohol or use his money on a whore. All the time George and Lennie powered off the idea of have there own place was sadly crushed after Lennnie had killed Curly's wife. Then George would become a lonly rancher, with no thrive towards anything and end up with retirement and never again have a dream.

Finally, Lennie himself. Just because he has no family. Besides George, Lennnie is stuck trying to be the quiet type who works hard. Of course Lennie isn't so bright so what does he do? Get in trouble. Not also does he crush Curly's hand with only his fist but kills Curly's Wife. It is really quiet funny how nobody in the story actually have real names, all with nicknames or no names at all (exp- Curly's Wife has no name). An exception with George and Lennie.

"It is lonliness that makes the loudest sound. This is true of men as of dogs." I think that this book follows by this quote and the quote vise verse.... True loneliness makes the loudest sound... Now matter how you think of it, this is true of men as of dogs,,,,,
