Another iPhone runs towards you along the conveyor belt, you reach out and put your little part in, is that 300 times today? You can no longer remember, because your memory is empty, replaced only by the humble thought of that one repetitive movement. In the same vein as mundane factory work, George, Lennie, and the other farmers are valued solely for their unconditional work and left locked in a shed with their only time to truly use their brains, dreaming of a better future. As George and Lennie work on a farm trying to earn enough to pursue their dream, they must face the challenges of the farm and the people who work on it as they try to move forward. In Steinbeck's novel, Lennie represents the workers in the wake of the landfill and accentuates how the working class are treated like animals with little regard for their human character. Just like an authoritarian government where every action seems to be normal. In an effort to prevent social unrest, on the farm the needs of the farm and its owners become the only concern of its workers. From the home to the shoes of the masters, everyone strives to create an image that places each worker in his place of servitude. The dorm's white walls, with each bunk lined up against the wall, create the image of a clean concrete barn with animals in their pens lined up against the wall. The dormitory conjures images of cows or horses, but Crooks' quarters appear almost lower than those of the animals, a mere outcropping of the stable, and the inhabitant is drunken holiday entertainment. These are the details, starting from the homes, that create the invisible fusion system of the farm. The owner is the highest and the pyramid...... center of the card......chin only lets work until he is deemed unfit for work, and then like an unproductive farm animal put out of its misery . As drivers of productivity, Steinbeck highlights the mercy enjoyed by workers through Candie and his dog. Carlson tells Candie "If you want it, I'll put that old devil out of his misery right now" (52: ch. 3). This moment showed Candie that he too was disposable once he lost his use, the same way the dog is. By comparing the workers to animals Steinbeck characterizes the degrading conditions and treatment towards the workers and their expectations. When workers are not appreciated for their humanity, the result is workers who, like Lennie, react like instinctive animals. This story is a mantra that still has its relevance in today's factories, where workers are synonymous with robots, completing their task over and over again..
