I think that the other men thinks that Lennie is queer. He can’t control his straight, and the other men think he behave as a kid. He doesn’t talk much to the other men in the story, and they thinks that’s strange. George try to protect him from the other guys, because Lennie can hurt them without meaning it. And when I say protect him from them, do I mean that Lennie can do them angry without meaning it, so he protects him from speaking to other people.

Question 8:
Huck’s mom is dead, and his father is a alcoholic. On his trip down the river, do he learn much. He had to get food by him self, and take care of him self. He gets allot of time to think and find out who he really is. He also get some problems on his trip, so he learn much then.
Jim is escaping with him, and Huck learns much of him to. Jim is a adult, and I think that Huck looks up to him. That is good, because Jim is a good person. Huck learns of his mistakes, as everybody does, and that helps him to be an grown man. Huck is young to be a grown man yet, but he hasn’t his parents around, so that’s just good for him to learn to live by himself.
When Huck and Jim is getting in trouble, is it Huck that makes them out of it. Jim is an black man, so he must be careful to show himself, because he can be takes as a slave. When they get in trouble with some guys that want to look on their raft for a slave, does Jim hide in the tent oh the raft. He is a runaway-slave, so it’s him they are looking for. Huck says that the men can just look, because he is so sick and he needs help. He says that it is a very bad illness, and he can get it if he is near him. Then the two men leave, and Huck is the hero of the day!
This shows that Huck can be an grown man in a so young age. Huckleberry Finn is a very nice story, and I liked it allot.

Lennie is a man who works at a farm. He is very strong without knowing it. He also love animals. He love cuddling with them and just have them there, but he hasn’t any control over himself, so he can kill the animals without meaning that. I think that it’s something wrong with his head or something, like an illness. Once he should watch the rabbits on the farm, but then did he kill a puppy, and he was afraid that he wasn’t allowed to watch after them.
Once-upon a time there was tree trestles who were going over the London bridge for shopping. They were going to buy new clothes and just spend some money. The biggest trestle had most money of them all. Then it was the middle one, and the smallest one had the smallest amount. But if they were going for shopping, did they have to come over the bridge first.
Firs came the first and smallest trestle; trip trap,trip trap. Then suddenly a voice shouted loud “who’s the brave one who dear to walk over my bridge?!!”. The small trestle answer with a faint voice “I’m the smallest trestle who are going to London for shopping..”. “Now I’m coming up to robe you!” , said the monster. “No, please! Rob the next one, he is much richer than me!” said the small trestle. “O.K! let go”, said the monster, and disappeared under the bridge.
So, after a while came the second and the middle one. Trip trap, trip trap. ”Who’s the brave one who dear to walk over my bridge?!!” asked the monster. “I’m the middle trestle who are going to London for shopping” said the trestle. “Now I’m coming up to rob you!!” said the monster. The middle trestle became more and more scared and said “No, please! Rob the next one, he is much richer than me!” ” O.K! let go”, said the monster, and disappeared under the bridge again.
Again, after some minutes came the last, biggest and the richest one. Trip trap, trip trap. “Who’s the brave one who dear to walk over my bridge?!!”, said the monster. The big trestle answer with a deep voice ” I’m the biggest trestle who are going to London for shopping”. “Now I’m coming up to rob you!!”, said the monster. The biggest tesle said with a deep voice “No problem, come and kick my ass!” The biggest trestle have been that smart to take out the cash from the bank, and into a big, black and abrupt case. The monster camed up and stared to fight for the money. Then the trestle camed up with his case and made a BIG BANG, and the monster were lying dead under his ugly bridge.
Now it was time to spend some money in London city.
The end.

If I could choose between beeing rich or happy, I’ve choosed happy. That’s because it’s SO more important beeing happy than rich. You can just look at most of the Hollywood stars, the girls are like Barbie, and the boys are like Ken. Do you think they lives a happy life? I don’t think so. They runs from stores to stores with their lifeguards in the heels and shops expensive bags, clothes and cute little chiuauas who live their lifes in the dolls bags. Poor little animals! They are also taking plastic surgeries for big prices. They think they are so perfect, but they want to get even skinnier, so they doesn’t eat more than about two fruits a day maybe (?). When they do it that way, can they give some money to the poor countries that need food instead.
They use many millions a year, and they earn even more than what they use. Some of the money can they give to the countries that need it instead. They do not notice it anyway, because they have so much in any case. Thinking about Britney Spears, she earns a lot of money, but she do not live any good and happy life. Therefore would I chosen to lived happy, because that’s the most important thing. Money doesn’t mean everything.
If money grew on trees, would everybody becamed rich. Everybody would drived around in cool cars and lived in big villas. Much of the people probably would quit their jobs, and then we can’t get what we need. Like; we need teachers to learn stuff, we need drivers to get things “on the right place” etc.
Here is a list of what I would byed/do:
Ferrari F50
A big villa in Italy or another contry
MANY new clothes
Traveled all over the world
A new house here in Norway
Honda NSR 125
Cottage on Oppdal
New slalom skis or twin-tips
New slalom boots
Jeweleries
A pro camera
iPod tuch
Nokia n95
A new PC, (Apple mac)
That’s it 
I think then…
