Want Ads for Lonely People

One of the sub-themes in Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men is LONELINESS.

Think about the following characters: GEORGE, CROOKS, CURLEY, and CURLEY'S WIFE.
What makes them lonely? What do they want out of life that they do not currently have?
Is each person's "loneliness" the same? Or is it different from person to person?

The following are examples of Personal Ads, both written by someone looking for something in his/life, something to replace his/her loneliness.

'

Your group's task is to write a Personal Ad for each of the following characters from OMAM.
GEORGE, CROOKS, CURLEY, CURLEY'S WIFE
Your ad must reflect your group's understanding of each character and what makes him/her lonely as well as what kinds of things you think this person is looking for to replace the loneliness in his/her life.

    Curley's wife seems to be very loneny because she need someone to care about her more than Curley seems to do.

    Curley needs to be understood by someone and to be empathize. And he needs a wife who can take talk to and who can help him to feel better. He needs confidens.

    George need to fill out his dream about being rich and have a place where he can live with Lennie.

    Crooks needs to be understood as a person and not just as a nigger who isn't a real person.
