Rudeness is the weak man's interpretation of strength. In the book Of Mice and Men Lennie was a very weak character but at the same time he was very strong. Some people picked on him but others just left him alone because of his retardation.
Even though he was retarded he accepted everyone as a friend even if they didn’t accept him. Crooks saw right through him and talked bad things about George, he instantly got mad. Lennie turned the tables and was about to fight Crooks so he told him there wasn't anything happen to George.
Lennie was retarded but was a very good worker. He could do twice the work of all of the other workers on the farm. He was a very strong man with a very bad disability.
He also couldn’t be very gentle with little things. He likes to pet little soft things then hurt them. He killed a puppy at the farm and before he came to the farm he used to kill mice.
As you can see Lennie was a very nice person but he was retarded. His one and only friend was George. Some of the farm workers despised him because he was such a great worker.

McCain's 7 Steps to Beating Obama
Step 1 - Paint Obama as a False Messiah McCain campaign wanted to look forward to the general election even before he was the official candidate. McCain was calling out Obama as an unfulfilled person built up on exaggeration and personal charisma. McCain's campaign said that it would hurt Obama's powerful arguement to keep a Republican in the White House.
Step 2 - Work, Woo and Win the Referees
Step 3 - Meet With the People, and Force Obama to Follow
Step 4 - Claim the High Road Without Leaving the Low Road
Step 5 - Use A Vice President to Temper The Age Issue
Step 6 - Make Inroads Among Traditional Democratic Voters
Step 7 - Rely on the Historic RNC Advantage

Of Mice And Men-Themes [Check This One] :)
Lions are born knowing they are predators. Antelopes understand they are the prey. Humans are one of the few creatures on Earth given the choice (Patrick H.T. Doyle). Curley had a lot of problems dealing with himself so he took it out on everybody else. He didn’t like big people because he was so small. His wife was very attractive and all of the workers liked her so he did whatever it took to break them down if she showed any signs of her liking them back. But on the other hand Slim was a very nice guy so Curley took advantage of him.
As soon as Curley seen Lennie he had a problem with him. Since he was so big Curley attacked him with words and Lennie didn’t really say anything back. He thinks he can do anything to whomever he wants because he is the boss’s son.
His wife was the only girl on the farm so of course she needed a friend. Even though she was married, she was very lonely. All of the men on the farm were attracted to her because of her looks. Curley got mad every time she was around another man. Slim was a very nice guy and most people looked up to him on the farm. Since he was so popular on the farm then he didn’t really like him. He would say stuff to him just for him to say something back but he never did.
As I read the book Of Mice and Men there were a lot of themes. The one that I was really interested in was “human predators”. Just because you have problems with yourself then you shouldn’t take it out on someone else. This book had one person that took advantage of everyone on the farm.

Overview of Service Learning
Our Service Learning meeting on May 1st 2008 was the best meeting so far. We accomplished what we needed to do but there were some challenges. I didn’t really learn much in the meeting and there is a lot of work that needs to be done if we want to change anything next year.
In the meeting we were supposed to go to different restaurants and take a survey about the price of their food, how the food tastes, and is there enough time to get there and back in time. Everybody completed their survey and we talked about all of the food places.
There weren’t a lot of challenges but the main challenge was the time. Everybody that went to the gallery got his or her food but wasn’t able to eat it in the little but of time we had. I think they are going t have to make the classes shorter and lunch will have to be a little longer like it was last school year. And they are going to have to make some guidelines up about leaving out for lunch.
By next year there will be a lot changed dealing with lunch. Somebody from our group is going to make a bill and propose it to the principal and if he approves it then we will make up a new schedule for next year.

Service Learning Reflection 5-1-08
Service Learning was alright I guess. I didn't like the new location, we need to go back down to the lunchroom. There was alot of distractions when we were up in the lobby, everyone was looking out the window. Even though we were somewhat distracted we got alot done. For lunch we went out to different food places and gave them reviews. My group remebers went to Chick-Fil-A, Burger King, KFC, 2 different chinese stores, and Auntie Anne's. Next year they are going to make the lunch longer so the kids can back to school in time.
