Because of his decisive position at the ranch, he is able to guide the citizens, defend what is right, and decide the best choice for people.   First, Slim had a decisive position to led workers in the ranch.

Slim had no ownership for Candy’s dog, but his words let Candy give up all hope to save the old dog. Slim said, “ Carlson is right to shoot the dog, Candy. That dog is not good to himself. ” Candy looked helpless at him, for Slim’s opinion were law. He had no right and power to break the “law”. Furthermore, it’s easy to discover that Slim is a central reason to push George to kill Lennie.

To connect the reality during the Great Depression, Citizens had no human right as now. What a government could do in that time was tried to give the best choice for citizens’ lives. Slim is exactly as a government to give the best decisions to dog and Lennie. Although they were innocent, but they could not acquit. Let them killed with dream and peace rather than alive with suffer and hopelessness. Slim pointed the way to end their pain, he said,” it’s not good,” but it was also the best choice for Slim to decide the innocent people’s lives in that time. He represents the government to make the best decision for people.  “Of Mice and Men” reflected the society during the Great Depression.

Gina's editing (#2 meaning) "Of Mice and Men" discussed the lives of the migrant workers at a ranch in Salinas, which was a microcosm for society. As a matter in fact, the ranch in the novella can be a symbol to Great Depression society in America. It means that Slim in the novel represents the government of the Great Depression. Because of his __decisive role at the ranch between workers__, he is able to guide the citizens, defend what is right, and decide the best choice for people.

First, Slim had a decisive position to led workers in the ranch. He is not the boss, but he ’ s exactly __the leader among workers, who guides__ the migrant workers with a government impact. “ He is a jerkline skinner, the prince of the ranch, capable of driving with a single line to the leaders. “ Slim handled the jerkline, also handled the direction of work in the ranch. Workers were followed him and listened to him. Emphasis is placed on Slim's skills and craftsmanship; he did his job exceedingly well. ” It was gravity in his manner and a quiet so profound that all talk stopped when he spoke. ” Workers in the ranch respected him, and stopped talking when he spoke. “ His ear heard more than was said to him, and his slow speech had overtone not of thought, but for understanding beyond thought. ” Slim leaded the workers enable to work. He noticed all evidences around himself, and decided the work-direction by his remarkable leading skill. Like a government in this microcosm society, Slim is a commander to distribute operation for individuals. The boss is the owner for the ranch, but __Slim is the person who does an important role to gives directions to workers as the handle__, __who is absolutely necessary to decide crucial decisions__, as the government holds citizens together in the real society. __ (It is true that Slim was more powerful than other workers, but I do not think he was powerful enough to control all workers as the government does.) __

Next, if Slim represents the government to defend what is right, Curley also symbolizes the inequity __of the society in 1930s__. Slim had power in the ranch because his justice was respected by everyone, but Curley had power because he was the son of the employer. Curley was a boxer, and he wanted to hit anyone to show his power, and to control all the people in the ranch, especially his wife. When he wanted to provoke Slim, he was like an egg striking a rock. Carlson laughed him,  ” You tried to throw a scare into Slim, and you couldn ’ t make is stick. Slim threw a scare into you. ” Curley couldn ’ t hurt Slim anymore, so he turned to attack a childlike man, Lennie, and then Lennie broke Curley ’ s hand without consciousness__. (Did Curley hurt Lennie because he could not hurt Slim anymore?? Even though this is true, I think the important reason that Curley hurt Lennie is not because of Slim.)__ George worried that Lennie and he would be fired because they hurt boss ’ son.He asked help for Slim, who was the only one Curley scared before. Slim cautioned Curley to be a mute for the reason of his broken hand; otherwise he would be the jape in the valley. Curley accepted. Curley is the one with most serious injury, but Slim did not punish Lennie, instead helped him. It ’ s because Curley is the opposite force which is unfair and hurt others, and Slim represents government which standing the right place in the novel. Slim defended right in the ranch to help the innocence, and represents a justicial government in the microcosm. Not only for defend right, government also tries to make the best decisions for citizens. __ In a real society __, the most important function for government is to make laws to punish crimes. In “ Of Mice and Men ”, the most significant __behavior which Slim did__ was to decide the death of Candy ’ s dog also Lennie. Slim had no ownership for Candy ’ s dog, but his words let Candy give up all hope to save the old dog. Slim said, “ Carlson is right to shoot the dog, Candy. That dog is not good to himself. ” Candy looked helpless at him, for Slim ’ s opinion were law. He had no right and power to break the “ law ”. Furthermore, it ’ s easily to discover that Slim is a central reason to push George to kill Lennie. George knew Lennie had to suffer because he killed Curley ’ s wife, so George tried to rescue Lennie to escape the harm and death. His last hope is Slim, because Slim is the only powerful justice in the ranch. Actually, Slim said, ” Curley want to shoot Lennie, he is still mad about his hand. They lack Lennie up and strap him down and put him in a cage. That ’ s not good. ” George despaired because __Slim did not know how to do to save Lennie, so this made Lennie be hopeless__. __(In this sentence, it includes the idea that George was relying on the opinion of Slim, but actually George despaired because he did not want to lose his friend, Lennie. Therefore, the reason that George despaired is not because Slim did not provide ways to protect Lennie.__) So, George decided to kill Lennie and ended his pain. To compare dog ’ s death and Lennie ’ s death, Slim made the final decisions to push them died. Candy and George obeyed his decision not only because Slim ’ s word is irresistible as the law, but also because Slim made the best choices for them during that period. __(In my opinion, the reason of Candy's dog and Lennie's death is not just because of Slim's order. Both of Lennie and Candy's dog were killed because their death would help others and even hellp themselves.)__ To connect the reality during the Great Depression, Citizens had no human right as now. What a government could do in that time was tried to give the best choice for citizens ’ lives. Slim is exactly as a government to give the best decisions to dog and Lennie. Although they were innocent, they could not acquit. Let them be killed with dreams and peace rather than alive with pain and hopelessness. Slim pointed the way to end their pain. He said, ” it ’ s not good, ” but it was also the best decision for Slim to decide the innocent people ’ s lives in that time. He represents the government to make the best decision for people. “ Of Mice and Men ” reflected __the society during the Great Depression in actually__. The ranch was the place to pursue dreams，also the place to ruin dreams, just like the American society. Slim represents the government in this society. He had his own place, and he always made the decisions and stood in right. He tried to develop his function as a government, so he was the doer but not the dreamer.

For the reasons mentioned above, Slim represents the government during the Great Depression. Workers obeyed his order and respected him.

Like a government in this microcosm society, Slim is a commander to distribute operation for individuals. The boss is the owner for the ranch, but Slim is the handle, which is the crucial absolutely necessary, as the government holds citizens together in the real society.

Next, if Slim represents the government to defend what is right, Curley also symbolizes the inequity. Slim had power in the ranch because his justice was respected by everyone, but Curley had power because he was the son of the employer. Curley was a boxer, and he wanted to hit anyone to show his power, and to control all the people in the ranch, especially his wife. When he wanted to provoke Slim, he was like an egg striking a rock. Carlson laughed him,” You tried to throw a scare into Slim, and you couldn’t make is stick. Slim threw a scare into you.” Curley couldn’t hurt Slim anymore, so he turned to attack a childlike man, Lennie, and then Lennie broke Curley’s hand without consciousness. George worried that Lennie and he would be fired because they hurt boss’ son. He asked help for Slim, who was the only one Curley scared before. Slim cautioned Curley to be a mute for the reason of his broken hand; otherwise he would be the jape in the valley. Curley accepted.

In __the__ (better to be canceled) reality, the most important function for government is to make laws to punish crimes. In “Of Mice and Men”, the most significant movement for Slim was to decide the death of Candy’s dog also Lennie. Slim had no ownership for Candy’s dog, but his words let Candy give up all hope to save the old dog. Slim said, “Carlson is right to shoot the dog, Candy. That dog is not good to himself.” Candy looked helpless at __him__, (at who? Should be “slim”) for __Slim’s__ (his) opinion were “ law ”. __He__ ( who? Candy) had no right and power to break the “law”. Furthermore, it’s __easily__ ( easy the adv. is using for verbs) to discover that Slim is a central reason to push George to kill Lennie. George knew Lennie had to suffer because he killed Curley’s wife, so George tried to rescue Lennie to escape the harm and death. His last hope is Slim, because Slim is the only powerful justice in the ranch. Actually, Slim said,” Curley want to shoot Lennie, he is still mad about his hand.

The reason that why Candy and George obeyed his decision s, not only because Slim’s word is irresistible as the “ law ”, but also __bec__ __ ause __ (one “because” is okay for these reasons) Slim made the best choices for them during that period. (It’s weird from story directly jump to the real world, needs some transition sentences.) To connect the reality during the Great Depression, Citizens had no human right __as__ now. What a government could do in that time was tried to give the best choice for citizens’ lives. Slim is exactly as a government to give the best decisions to dog and Lennie. Although they were innocent, they could not acquit. Let them be killed with dreams and peace rather than alive with pain and hopelessness. Slim pointed the way to end their pain. He said,” it’s not good,” but it was also the best decision for Slim to decide the innocent people’s lives in that time. He represents the government to make the best decision for people.

“Of Mice and Men” __reflected__ the reality during the Great Depression. The ranch was the place to pursue dreams ， also the place to ruin dreams, just like __the__ (we cannot use “the” before “American society”, it’s not a proper noun) American society. Slim represents the government in this society. He had his own place, and he always made the decisions and stood in right.
