HELP I can't find any essays on this Edexcel literature question and I'm in dire need of ideas/thesis statements

1. Explore Candy’s relationship with others, including his old dog, in the novel.

You must consider the context of the novel in your answer.

(Total for Question 7 = 40 marks)

I tried writing an essay and I linked Candy and his dog to George and Lennie (they parallel each other as in the dog is dependent on Candy and Lennie is dependent on George), I also wrote about Candy's fear of being disposable and how Carlson shooting his dog possibly foreshadows his own future and feeds into his fear, the disposability of workers in 1930s capitalist America, etc..

But all of this only made up an intro, 2 paragraphs, and a conclusion and to get more than 35 I need at least 3 body paragraphs- ideally 4. My mind is blank and I've gone through so many revision notes but i haven't been able to find a specific essay/note section on this topic. If anyone can link any essay/notes/any useful resources it would genuinely save me, my mocks are next week.

Thank you!!
