Of+Mice+and+Men

The quote "It is loneliness that makes the loudest noise. This is true of men as dogs" means that the poeple who are the loniest want more attention. In the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, the three characheters that were the most lonley are Crooks, Curleys Wife, and Candy.

Curleys wife is really lonley. She is always looking for guys to talk to because she doesnt have any friends on the ranch so she turns to guys to talk to. She never gets any attention from Curley so that is why she is always loking for random people to talk to. "Aint i got a right to talk to nobody? Whatta they think i am anyways?" This quote shows that she cant talk to eanyone because if she does her husband, Curley, will get mad.

Crooks is also lonley in the book. He is the african american that lives in his own room out in the barn because nobody else wants to live with him. Nobody ever talks to him and he has no friends. "cause im black. They play cards but i cant play because im black", this quote proves that nobody ever talks to him or interact with him just because of his race.

Candy is the old man with no hand. While everyone is out on the fields working, Candy stays behind because he is worthless to them just because he lost his hand. "I aint much a good worker, but i canm cook and tend the chickens and hoe the garden". This quote shows that hes offering to help pay for the little house because he wants to get out of the ranch and live with people that are nice to him. he gets lonley too and he wants to leave already.

The story has many lonley poeple but these were just three of them. The book shows how the lonliest person wants to get the most attention.
