Aristotle’s Critique of Plato
Aristotle's Critique of Plato Aristotle took a distinct path verging from the foundation of Plato's philosophy.

Without friendship, life would be missing a major

Of Mice and Men Analysis
“Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds.” This was said by Albert Einstein over 50 years ago, but is still relevant today as it describes all bullying behaviors. This relevance is shown through modern literature by the way that the characters interact. John Steinbeck, in Of Mice and Men, uses Curley’s attitude towards Lennie, Carlson killing Candy’s dog, and conversation between Crooks and Lennie to show that the emotionally insecure oppress the innocent.
