Human Predators "Grade"

Human Predators

You’re in school. You’re just standing there minding your own business, didn’t even do anything. Next thing you know a bully comes up behind you and pushes you into a locker! So you say "Hey what’s up man? I didn’t do anything." And he says, "Yes you did, you were born." That bully is a human predator. Human predators are everywhere. Human predators are seen all over the book Of Mice and Men. The primary predator is Curly and then there is his wife and there is also Crooks. Lets take a look at why they are predators.
Curly is a predator, a typical bully. Curly is a small guy. Smaller than most and he tries to make up for his size with his attitude. Curly is never scarred to step up to some ones face to make himself feel bigger and manly. He likes to mess with all people who are bigger than him. And the one guy that towers highest above him is Lennie. Lennie is huge, and he is also not the smartest. So obviously he is the perfect pray for Curly. So to make himself seem like the bigger man Curly preys on Lennie, purposely picking fights to show the other men that he is the boss.
Another predator in this book is Curly's wife. But Curly's wife is a different kind of predator. Curly's wife messes with people so she can stay alive or at least to stay sane. She doesn’t really mean any harm, but just the fact that she was a woman was trouble enough. What she was hunting for was some company. She was lonely and needed someone to talk to. She was looking to please herself and didn’t care if it hurt other people, but then again she probably didn’t realize that it hurt other people.
Crooks is the last predator. He is basically at the bottom of the food chain and if he can find something lower than him to feast on he will. Nobody likes crooks they just use him when they need him. Now crooks meets Lennie and he is going to use him. For once somebody was a lower step than he was. Crooks is the kind of predator that takes advantage of another’s weakness. He saw that Lennie didn’t really understand all that he did so he verbally put him down, scarred him into thinking that nobody really cared about him. What he was really doing was turning the way he felt onto somebody else.
All these predators act the way they do for a reason. Curly got in other people’s business because it made him feel like a man. Curly’s wife messed with the other men on the ranch because her own husband didn’t give her the attention she needed. Crooks scarred Lennie because he himself felt alone and scarred. And all of these people are predators because they need to make up for what’s missing in their life. Everywhere people go they get into situations where they are either the predator or the pray so we all need to decide if we are going to be the one that gets the feasts or gets feasted on.
