The grub-man, suggesting an introduction to his new client, makes a show of condescending to Bartleby and asks what he would like for his evening meal. ![]() The lawyer, willing to underwrite Bartleby's meals, pays the man in advance to bring the prisoner "the best dinner you can get" and urges him to be as polite as possible. On his departure, the lawyer encounters the grub-man, who offers to provide a better grade of food than Bartleby is likely to receive in prison. The lawyer disclaims any part in Bartleby's arrest and reminds him that the yard is pleasantly grassy and open to the sky Bartleby retorts, "I know where I am." At the lawyer's approach, Bartleby does not turn around and refuses to converse. Since Bartleby is not considered a dangerous criminal, he has the run of the prison yard, where the lawyer finds him facing a high wall within sight of thieves and murderers. That same day, the lawyer confers with a prison official and explains that, although Bartleby behaves perversely, he is an honest man and deserving of kindness, even if he must be sent to the poorhouse. Returning to work, the lawyer finds a note from the landlord explaining that he has had Bartleby arrested for vagrancy and that the lawyer should appear at the prison to state the facts in the case. ![]() ![]() Whatever the reason, Alexander is one of those books that strikes a (minor) chord.Ĭhildren's literature is a really tricky thing to sell because it actually has a dual audience: the kids who are supposed to love it and the adults who are supposed to buy it.

George on the other hand gets frustrated with the trouble that Lennie manages to get into, but still feels affection and loyalty towards his friend. ![]() Lennie absolutely adores and admires George. ![]() The friendship between the two men is main plot point. In the story George is described as a bright man, a bit of slick salesman, and small in stature. To balance that out, Steinbeck created George. This man became the basis of the character Lennie. One of the laborers who really influenced Steinbeck was a large, clumsy man who was mentally disabled. Steinbeck was highly affected by the loneliness, hardships, and lack of hope that he witnessed among his peers. This book is loosely based on Steinbeck's personal experience working as a migrant laborer in rural parts of California. This book is arguably one of John Steinbeck's most famous books.

Most folks don’t know about Barbara getting shot through the spine and when they think Batgirl they still think of the old Adam West TV Show or the Animated Series and in both cases the Batgirl was the redheaded daughter of Jim Gordon and she was always able to stand upright. On one side, it has potential to offer some interesting stories about Barbara regaining her confidence as a crime fighter and it also makes the book far more accessible to new readers–which is what the New 52 reboot was all about.
