Day 5

Loneliness is a common emotion that everyone feels once in a while--some more often
than others. The ranch hands in Of Mice and Men were drifters; they had no families close by and didn't stay in one place long enough to make lasting friends. Theirs was a lonely lifestyle. Two fellows, George and Lennie, found friendship early in their lives and traveled together. From them we can see what it means to be a friend and what it means to have a friend. Friendship has great rewards, but being a friend isn't always easy.

Your assignment is write out some kind of advertisement or commercial in regards to how someone will not be lonely or how to advertise for a migrant worker. Your
advertisement should carry all the usual information in a "want ad": what you want, a job description, the requirements and the rewards.

Be as creative as you like, but remember your ad must contain the information requested above and remember that you are striving for an effective advertisement.

Make sure you look at the others so as they your show your own individuality in this piece of work.

Help Wanted:
Want a good-hard working ranch hand that’s willing to travel around everywhere in an effort to fined hard, boring, low paying jobs. This isn’t lonely, really, if you get past the fact that you, at best, have one person to travel with permanently and little chance of ever settling down, its really fun (except when you get permanently injured on the job and really hope your not fired).

Job Description:
I think that’s already been covered, you just walk around doing jobs so horrible no one wants to do them, but hey, it pays (not necessarily well).

Requirements:
If you can both walk around and your ok doing hard labor, then your almost certain to have a small chance of liking this job.

Rewards:
Well, your can make money, meat random people, get exercise, possibly have fun, hopefully not maim yourself, what more could you possibly want?
