It is a short narrative (story) that I need someone to do. It is about Curley's Wife from the book Of Mice and Men. You have to write a short narrative (100-150) words - If you can. Now I know this is a lot to ask but here I am awarding 100 points!

Think about whether she is someone who has had a difficult life who we should pity, or someone cruel and vindictive.

You should include:
What her childhood was like
Her relationship with her parents
What she was like as a teenager
How she wanted to spend her life
How she ended up meeting Curley
Her wedding to Curley and how she felt being married to him
Her life on the ranch and how she felt about the men on there
How she feels being the only woman on the ranch

Please be as quick as possible.

Thank You All.

Whoever answers this question first with the right answer gets brainliest.

Nothing was holding Woody in New York, and in about a week he was in Washington, staying with Lomax and his wife. He turned down their offer of a bed, and fell asleep sprawled on the couch, or threw his lumber jacket over his shoulders and slept on the floor. Rather than eat at the table, he insisted on standing over the sink, saying, “I don’t want to get softened up. I’m a road man.”

—This Land Is Your Land,
Elizabeth Partridge

How did Woody’s personality influence his music?

He liked being in one place, so his songs focus mostly on one location.
He liked to wander and meet new people, so he wrote songs that were easy to remember.
He was tough, so his songs have a rough edge.
He was complicated, so he wrote complex songs with tricky melodies that required practice

Which two of these sentences are written in second-person point of view?

Social media has been with us for less than 2 decades, yet its anti-social effects – from anxiety and depression to sleeplessness and compulsive behaviour – are becoming obvious. Worse, more than 90% of 18 to 24-year-olds spend an average of 2 hours every day (equivalent to an entire month per year without sleep) on social media sites, with some doctors now so concerned that they’ve called for social media to come with film-like age restrictions or be labelled with stark warnings similar to those on cigarette packets.

To make matters worse, it’s now emerged that these same sites have been spying on us and raking in vast profits by selling our personal data to secretive organisations intent on manipulating everything from our shopping habits to our votes.

What important naturalist theme is reflected in this excerpt from Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat"?
The birds sat comfortably in groups, and they were envied by some in the dinghy, for the wrath of the sea was no more to them than it
was to a covey of prairie chickens a thousand miles inland. Often they came very close and stared at the men with black bead-like eyes.
At these times they were uncanny and sinister in their unblinking scrutiny, and the men hooted angrily at them, telling them to be gone.
...the captain gently and carefully waved the gull away. After it had been discouraged from the pursuit the captain breathed easier on
account of his hair, and others breathed easier because the bird struck their minds at this time as being somehow gruesome and
ominous.
