Political cartoon


What is a Political cartoon: A political cartoon is just like a regular cartoon comic but what also brings knowledge to the readers in a funny and graphic way. (PS, this is just what i think it is because i couldn't find it on the Internet)

What is the purpose of a Political cartoon: The purpose of a political cartoon is to say, using images that makes sense to the society. Political cartoons relieve the heavy stress from the economy and politics and also bringing attention to the readers about what's happening in the world in a fun upbeat way.

Dear George

Dear George,
I know it was a very tough decision to kill Lennie. But I agree with what you did. Even though Lennie always stressed you out and you knew how much better and easier you could live without him, he was like a brother to you and your bestfriend.

Lennie doesn't wanna stay there because he is scared. I think after George told him about Curley, he got too scared. Now I'm sure he doesn't want to walk around because he's afraid he'll run into curly and he'll sock him. "I don't want no trouble,"..."Don't let him sock me, George." Maybe Lennie thinks now that everyone there is bad and mean like Curley. He also may be scared that something is going to happen like what happened with the lady in the red dress, and Curley is going to beat him up for that. But he hasn't done anything to him yet, but George said he would punch him for no reason. "'I don't want no trouble,' Lennie mourned. 'I never done nothing to him.'"

of mice and men part 1

1) Discuss why Lennie is dependent on George.
The reason Lennie is dependent on George is because Lennie isn't completely capable of being on his own. In the book, he seems like he's not very smart and he doesn't understand how to live his life like everyone else. He also doesn't really know the difference between wrong and right. To me, he seems like he might be a little bit mental because of the things he does like keeping a dead mouse in his pocket, and the way he talks.

2) George says, "I could live so easy and maybe have a girl" if he weren't with Lennie. Why do you think he continues to keep Lennie around?
I think George decides to stay with Lennie instead of living life easy with a girl, because he love him. Even though Lennie may bother him sometimes and he always has to take care of him, he loves him and it's like he can't live without him. Also, his life might be less fulfilling if Lennie was out of it.
