-- yeesh answers on this site are so bad. Okay, for starters, if you are having an exam soon , good look with that. I am personally having one tomorrow. Anyhoo, cut to the chase, Steinbeck uses language to portray Carlson as greedy in of mice and men and thus he represents greed. This is obvious as all of the male characters in omam have a particular archetype; Carlson's is greed which is apparent when he says " insert your own quote here, I'm not doing all of your work" which highlights this representation of greed by using the keyword "insert a keyword (important word) from your quote here" which means *definition of your keyword here - remember to fo really good analysis in this pert as it is what will bag you your A** and suggests that *insert what your keyword suggests here*
After you have done that bit, you can move onto your next paragraph. Remember to link your paras together so that your work flows and sounds professional. You could link them by saying,
Furthermore, Steinbeck uses language to represent Carlson as greed in the quote previously stated by using the significant keyword "blah blah, insert your keyword here etc etc, keyword meaning and what it suggests etc etc etc".
Now move onto another paragraph about what else Carlson could represent. Perhaps derive your own thoughts or use the wonderfully intellectual answer above mine that says "Carlson represents the average man". Have fun =D (heh heh heh, I'm sure you won't)

What is the history in the The Pearl by John Steinbeck?
As far as I know it is fiction. the lead character, Kino is a fisherman and NOT a pearl diver. The story has a sort of Grimm Bros. Frisson against a twentieth century backdrop and this is NOT played for laughs, as with the Disney version of (The Shaggy Dog) where a young man is transformed into a Dog right in front of his horrifed daddy ( Fred Macmurray) There is little if any humor in the Pearl. Up to a point it can be argued it is a male version of the (Hope Diamond) or an anti-good luck charm. Around the time the novel came out ( l947) the Hope Diamond was very much in the news , then owned by the sociality Evelyn Walsh Mclean if I recall correctly. The anti-capitalist idea is common in short stories such as Maupassant"s (The Necklace) and some by O.Henry which were adapted into ,oddly, Superman episodes ( the kid and his grandad"s lost overcoat- which, alas turns out to be full of Confederate money. the twist ending being the kicker. so it goes. I always thought that The Pearl was a male adaptation of the saga of the Hope Diamond.
