Now why would anyone want to dump such a healthy addiction as yours. Most people would be just jealous of you. Just don't forget to pick your shirt back up after you have administered a good yelling.





I already have seen a bunch of remarks above, that would seem to Me! like people who are just jealous like I said.





Keep on doing what and how you are doing. When you scoop other peoples scabs and scab collections, remember to keep them in a safe and dry place so that they can't mildew.





You would be surprised at how many people would love to trade scabs with you.





Enjoy your wonderful pass time.

I did read the book but need help on my Of Mice and Men essay?

There is supposed symbolism in the title ';Of Mice and Men';. I think it is just that Lennie likes mice and he is a man, who doesn't know his own strength and throughout the books, kills mice, puppies, and finally, Curley's wife; but is it more than just Lennie being a man who likes mice?I did read the book but need help on my Of Mice and Men essay?
Actually the title has nothing to do with Lennie and mice. The title comes from a Robert Burns poem To A Mouse On Turning Up Her Nest With A Plough - The best laid schemes o' mice an' men


Gang aft agley, Or to translate this into English The best plans of mice and men often go astray. If there is any symbolism to be suggested here, it would be ';Are you a man or a mouse?'; as Lennie does not stick up for himself.

Why is George justified in killing Lennie in the book Of Mice and Men?

Of Mice and Men is a novella written by Nobel Prize-winning author John Steinbeck. Published in 1937, it tells the tragic story of George Milton and Lennie Small, two displaced migrant ranch workers during the Great Depression in California.





Based on Steinbeck's own experiences as a bindle stiff in the 1920s (before the arrival of the Okies he would vividly describe in The Grapes of Wrath), the title is taken from Robert Burns's poem, To a Mouse, which is often quoted as: ';The best-laid plans of mice and men/often go awry,'; though the phrase in the original Scots of the poem is ';The best laid schemes o' mice an' men/Gang aft agley.';
