transition
Hey guys! I'm writing an essay for english on the theme of loneliness in "Of Mice and Men". I'm trying to come up with a transition between 2 of my paragraphs, but I can't think of a good one. The last sentence in the 1st paragraph is 'He was isolated from everyone else, just by being the oldest person on the ranch' (talking about Candy) -this is where I need the transition- I need the new paragraph to start talking about Curley's wife and the ways that she was lonely. Can anyone help me come up with a good transition between those two things? I suck at english, and I really need help. Thanks!

I remember studying that book in year 10. I still remember quite a lot of it.
I think you can say something like "while Candy is lonely because he is old, Curley's young and beautiful wife is also lonely". That will show that loneliness can be experienced by different people for different reasons.
Of course, your own idea might be better because you know what you've been told to do. Saying that she had it worst makes sense, you could say more on why - as in she is lonely because she's young and beautiful and she wants attention, but Curley doesn't spend enough time with her.

The idea is for one paragraph to flow sensibly into the next one. It's easy to just stick in "another character who is lonely is...", but ideally you should look a little deeper, as all of the characters in the book are lonely to some extent, and loneliness is the main theme of the essay. You've pointed out yourself that Candy is isolated by his age. Isn't Curley's wife similarly isolated by the fact that she is the only woman on the ranch? I'd connect the paragraphs by pointing out how being isolated is also a factor that drives Curley's wife. You could also tie in your own point that Curley's wife is perhaps the most lonely of all the characters, because she is the most obviously isolated and different as the only woman and the only one who doesn't work, and use this as a springboard to compare her to other characters and their situations on the ranch.
Good luck with your essay.

use however, in addition, also, moreover, but NOT therefore (use that in your last paragraph)
