JAMES is a weak, lanky, self loathing 25-year-old man who works for a telemarketing company in Reading, UK. Looked down upon by almost everyone he knows, James hates his job, boss and life. On top of this, James has recently broken up with his long term girlfriend, RACHAEL; a banker who is fed up with James’s lack of initiative to improve his dull life. James is still deeply in love with Rachael; a girl who is not only more attractive than him, but has put up with his lazy, predictable ways for too long. Fed up of constantly being walked on, he finally takes some initiative and in an effort to improve his skinny figure and life, James decides to join a local gym.
After a work-out at the gym, James decides to take a quick toilet break before leaving.

This is fueled by, not only the changing emotions that teenagers typically endure, but also by the death of his stepfather, whom he saw as his own father.

James instead turns to alcohol and drugs, dropping out of school to play music and go around with his friends, which James refers to as "my own process of running, emotionally disconnecting myself from her, as if by doing to I could keep her suffering from touching me." Instead of turning to his family and becoming "the king in the house, the oldest kid," James "spent as much time away from home as possible absolve[ing] [himself] of all responsibility " As a result, Ruth sends James to live with his older half sister and her husband, in an attempt to straighten her out her son's life.

John Steinbeck’s novel, Of Mice and Men, and Arthur Miller’s play, The Crucible, both have similarities and differences that appear through the history of the United States, prejudice, and also through the themes.
The Crucible was based in 1692 in and around the town of Salem, Massachusetts, USA. The Salem witch-hunt was view as one of the strangest and most horrendous chapters in the human history. People that were prosecuted were all innocent and their deaths were all due to false accusation of people’s ridiculous belief in superstition and their paranoia. The Puritans in those times were very strict in personal habits and morality; swearing, drunkenness and gambling would be punished. The people of Salem believed in the devil and thought that witchcraft should be hunted out.
Paul met and married a woman named Anna. He started attending New York University together with McCoy in 1970, and both joined the baseball team, where Paul served as point guard. While Paul was on the team, they beat their medical school rivals three years in a row. The two became best friends and McCoy became friends with Anna as well. They all stayed friends after graduation, even though Paul and McCoy opted for opposing occupations: McCoy a prosecutor and Paul a defense attorney. At some point, Paul was hired to represent a local crime boss, Vincent Dosso. Over time, Paul became immersed into the Dosso crime family and started helping facilitate their activities.

James however, knows what he is doing which is boxing because he is one of the best at it. James was in peak physical condition with an explosive power behind him, which he made full use of. Towards the middle of both of these stories, both Jurgis as well as James sustained cataclysmic injuries that changed their lives forever. “It transpired that he had twisted a tendon out of place, and could never have gotten well without attention” (Sinclair 121). With Jurgis’s injury, he was unable to work, but this caused an adverse effect on his health that made him weak and frail. “This time, however, Jurgis did not have the same fine confidence, nor the same reason for it. He was no longer the finest looking man in the throng, and the bosses no longer made for him; he was thin and haggard, and his clothes were seedy, and he looked miserable” (Sinclair 125). When Jurgis was finally able to return to work from his injury he was no more the biggest worker there, which meant the employers no longer bee-lined to him, and this caused a dramatic strain on income. While Jurgis suffered these problems, he stayed at home then forced two children to start
abusing drugs and robbing people. Later on in the story, we discover that James is angry but does not know his reason for being angry. This only seems to perplex him even more. Soon, James accepts his family’s strategy for getting beyond racial identity by focusing on religion and education. He tells his friends that racism will be just be a thing in the past by the time they graduate, but later comes to this the realization that it will not be as he states, “instead it smashed me across the face like a bottle when I walked into the real world” (p. 204). It is only when he takes a journey into his mother’s past that he is able to balance his background and learn to love it, as proven when he says, “privileged to have from two worlds…a black man with something of a Jewish soul” (p. 103).
