Supporting details for my position paper

After developing my thesis statement for my position paper, the job of finding supporting details for it becomes a little bit easy as I know what I want to search for. As I’ve already mentioned in my previous post, my thesis statement for the position paper is on companionship in “Of Mice and Men”. That is why I try to find characters in the novel that are longing for companionship and I found out that there are quite a lot of characters that have that characteristic. Examples of the characters that have that characteristic are George Milton, Candy, Curley’s wife and also Crooks. Plus, through reading the novel, I can see that even the ranch hands in the story also wanted companion due to their loneliness of working and living alone. That is why; I come out with five supporting details that I think would support my thesis statement of the relation between companionship and purpose in life. My first supporting detail is on George Milton and his relationship with Lennie where their friendship helps George breaks the pattern of the loneliness of human being through the dream that they created together. My second supporting detail is on Candy where he joins George and Lennie’s dream in order for him to have reason of living though he is an old and handicapped man. My next supporting detail is about Curley’s wife and her sluttish way of seeking man’s attention due to her loneliness living in all men world without having anyone to talk to. Crooks also face some kind of loneliness in the story where he is being discriminate due to his race and I use this as my fourth supporting detail. Last but not least, I wanted to write about the ranch hands loneliness in the story and how they also wanting companionship to ease their stress of working and living alone.
