Provide 5 quotes (include pg #) from the novel that deal with loneliness and interpret them.

In chapter 1 of Of Mice and Men,
George outlines for Lennie their version of the American
Dream:

Guys
like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world.  They got no family.
 They don't belong no place...With us it ain't like that.  We got somebody to talk to
that gives a damn about us...Someday--we're gonna get the jack together and we're gonna
have a little house and a couple of acres an' a cow and some pigs and--An'
live off the fatta the
lan...(13-14).

Using
Biblical imagery from Genesis ("Garden of Eden") and
Exodus (the "Holy Land"), George juxtaposes the solitary existence
of the migrant worker with he and Lennie's American Dream team.  Whereas the other guys
are alienated and alone, George and Lennie are a tandem who share their
dreams.

This version of the Dream re-appears, sadly, at the
end, just before George shoots Lennie.  George will be really lonely then, but for now,
in this Garden of Eden in the Salinas River Valley, George and Lennie have each
other.
