What makes you trust somebody?

            There are many things that make us trust somebody. Whether it’s what we know about a person, things they’ve done, what they’ve said. It all depends on what we know about people that makes us think whether they can be trusted or not. There may be some people that you have known all your life and you two know everything about each other, and to each other they are very trustworthy. But if you don’t know each other that well it may be hard to know if you can trust some other person.

            But it all depends on what we know, in Of Mice and Men Lennie is very reliant on George and trusts him a lot. On the other hand George doesn’t trust Lennie that much because he is very forgetful and only really thinks on the present. In Chapter 3 Lennie trusts George to get him out of the river after he jumped in even though George is the one that told him to jump in. But Lennie didn’t remember and was very thankful when George got him out.

Just the way we Work

            Tableau, it means a group of models a scene from a story or history. In the poem Tableau by Countee Cullen, he depicts two children, black and white, arm in arm, walking in unison. Back in the time of the Harlem Renaissance this would be a very unlikely sight, people black and white were separated in society, we treated colored people like outcasts. They had their own way of life, and we had ours. Two groups of people living in the same world but in different ways. Cullen shows how two people, black and white, would be viewed together, it was frowned upon. Nobody liked the idea of the two races being together, but whether they knew it or not they both had an impact on the way the other society lived. They both had an influence and a part in the culture of that time.
