...Throughout the novella ‘Of Mice and Men’ various themes are explored, a main theme noticed throughout the novella is authority. The boss is one of many characters who have authority on the ranch because he owns the ranch and is the employer. Authority within the boss is shown when he questions George “what stake you got in this guy?” this shows authority because the boss can question who he wants if he notices any suspicions because it’s his ranch The boss also shows he has authority when Steinbeck says “he wore high-heeled boots” this is a symbol of authority, by wearing high-heeled boots it proves that he is not a labouring man because he is the owner of the ranch. Another reason high-heeled boots may show significant authority is because they make him taller, which makes him higher than the average migrant worker. Curley also appears to show authority but he lacks respect for the men. Curley does not have natural authority because he is the boss’ son this is the only reason Curley gains authority. The men on the ranch only put up with him because he is the boss’ son, he also tries to fight bigger men “he hates bigger guys” curly likes to fight with bigger guys to gain respect but it makes the others dislike him even more. Throughout the book many things are used to symbolise authority. A main symbol noticed is that the boss and Curly wear high-heeled boots this gives a sense of authority because it shows that neither of them are labouring men, and the heel gives height...

...HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK? 1. Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck. I love it when you run your fingers through my rugged hair, I love it when you get jealous because other boys will stare, I love it when you call me beautiful and compliment me so, I love it when you seem so confused as if you don't know, Ilove the way you stare at me and look into my eyes, My heart gets so heavy and deep that all the time just flies, I love the way you kiss me so gentle you lips so calm, I love the way you hold my hand and rubb your fingers against my palm, I love it when you wrap your arms around me the way that I felt, When you stare me down and hug me tight I just want to melt, I love your beautiful smile everytime I see it I want to faint, Your laugh is so soothing it heals me like you're a saint, I love the way you whisper to me when someone is nearby, I love it when you say sweet things that make me want to cry, I love the way you look at me with that cute little puppy face, It seems as if you are so sad or simply out of place, I love the way you are so confident in everything you do, But most of all out of everything I love you for being you! “High school isn't about finding your husband...it's about finding your bridesmaids.” “The older I get, the less time I want to spend with the part of the human race that didn't marry me.” There is no such cozy combination as man and wife. “Happy is the man who finds a true friend...

...Dear kuya, Alam mo kung tutuusin dapat sa October pa ko gagawa ng ganito. Sa anibersayo pa sana ng pagtungo mo diyan kasama si Lord at si San Pedro, para dramatic. HAHA Kaya lang, nami-miss talaga kita ng bonggang-bongga last week. Kaya nga ko humiling ng power hug galing sa’yo ee. Feeling ko nga kaya naisipin ng ate nating chaka na gumawa ng liham para sa’yo ay dahil nabasa niya yung status ko para sa power hug mo. Ang dami ko ng mga liham para saýo sa diary ko. Pero wala akong balak i-publish yun dito. Haha dahil sure ako, mas maarte ka pa sa’kin kaya ayaw mo ng recycled na gawa. Kaya eto, gagawa ako liham para sa’yo. Halo-halo na yung ala-ala ko tungkol sa’ting dalawa kuya. Alam mo naman ako, medyo ulyanin. Kaya nga madaldal ako ee. HAHA habang fresh pa sa utak ko kinukwento ko na kasi baka makalimutan ko. =)) Pero ang dami-dami kong memories with you. I can say, malaking impluwensya mo sakin. Ikaw ang may kasalanan kung bakit feeling ko ang ganda-ganda ko. Hahaha you taught me how to believe in myself. Mukhang nasobrahan yata kuya. Tanda mo pa ba? Dati nung nasa Kwang-Lim pa ko nag-aaral nung kinder, meron akong chakang classmate na sinabihan akong pangit. Tapos sinabi ko sa’yo na sinabihan niya kong pangit sabi mo, “Pangit ka ba?” Syempre, umiling ako sabay sabi, “Hindi. Siya yung pangit kuya.” Tapos sabi mo, siya nga yung pangit. Kasi kung pangit ako, ee di wala ng maganda sa mundo. Kunsitindor ka talaga kuya. Hahaha Tapos, lahat na lang ng tugtog papasayawin mo ko...

Conclusion Afterword Author’s Note Acknowledgments Notes Foreword When a governor or any state official seeks elective national office, his (or her) reputation and what the country knows about the candidate’s background is initially determined by the work of local and regional media. Generally, those journalists do a competent job of reporting on the prospect’s record. In the case of Governor George W. Bush, Texas reporters had written numerous stories about his failed businesses in the oil patch, the dubious land grab and questionable funding behind a new stadium for Bush’s baseball team, the Texas Rangers, and his various political contradictions and hypocrisies while serving in Austin. I was one of those Texas journalists. I spent about a decade...
