Is my thesis good enough: of mice and men?


thesis: The novel, Of mice and Men, sends an important message to the reader, which is what's "good" and what's "evil" cannot be justified in the world.

major arguments/points:
1. When Lennie killed Curly's wife, Lennie killed a person but he didn't mean to, he was really innocent
2. When Candy's dog is killed, they killed a living, harmless, friendly dog but the dog was suffering he was very old who could barely walk
3. When George killed Lennie, George killed his best friend but if Lennie didn't die he would have been killed painfully by Curly or end up going to a mental hospital and suffer there

also is there any good evidence in the book that could support my thesis and arguments, i looked through but didn't find any good quotes

I'm in grade 11 academic english

Hi there,

I'll refer you to my first answer, and tell you again that the thesis is not very precise and too wordy.

Cheers

Writing a book, any help?


I am wanting to write a book, I want it to be a sci-fi fantasy novel i have good idea of what i want it to be about it starts on new years eve 1999 main character is a bachelor with very little money barely making ends meet when hes given an offer to be cryogenticly frozen for a large sum of money (havent figured out how much yet) when he wakes up in the future he doesnt care in fact is afraid of it and go on to try to figure out a way to get back to the year 1999, im want to setup it up like an autobiography/diary where hes talking to the reader explaining everything. Opinion on my idea and any suggestions?

My only curiosity is if time actually moved forward and he is in the actual future how do you propose he go about trying to go back in time. I mean unless in this future there exists time travel or alternate time lines. Otherwise your storyline isn't feasible. Science fiction is more or less called speculative science. Most sci-fi or spec sci is based on scientific theories that have proven through experimentation conclusive fact and then follow a line of reasoning that may one day may come to light as workable or total who ha. But for now the theories are sound.

--- For me the fact that you randomly throw in fantasy into the genre only helps to perpetuate that you are looking for the easy way to go as opposed to doing the appropriate research within one specific genre. Sci-fi and fantasy are two totally separate genres that have specific guidelines when presented to publishers and the reading public. Authors who cross the two genres are usually fairly versed and knowledgeable in both.

--- Being a creative writer doesn't mean you get to dispense with research if anything you are more obliged to be as accurate as possible because if you aren't you're readers will definitely let you know.

    Looks like much maligned reading is making a comeback. Now if we can get these devices accepted in schools maybe kids would learn more.
