1 Of Mice and Men Reading Two

2 Daily Edit 1. My parents dog is annoying but I will admit they are pretty cute. 2. In John Stenbeck’s of mice and men Lennie traveled with George the two men stuck together despite they’re trouble at each californian ranch.

3 Breaking the Glass Did you notice any social norms between today and yesterday? If so, were you tempted to break them?

4 Of Mice and Men How do George and Lennie go against the social norms of the ranch? Do the other workers disapprove of them genuinely, or just superficially? How does going against the norm benefit George and Lennie? How does it hurt them?

5 What does Steinbeck do at the start of each chapter? What literary device does he use here? Why would he make this choice?

6 How is the stable buck treated differently than the other workers? Why?

7 What does Curly/Curly’s father’s reaction to Lenny and George show us about society so far?

8 How does George view Curly and Curly’s wife? Why would he view them this way? Consider his relationship with Lennie.

9 Make a Prediction Consider the new characters we’ve met—what do you think will happen between them all at the ranch? Who poses a threat to George and Lennie’s dream?

10 What does George and Slim’s conversation tell you about what ranch workers are typically like? What kinds of relationships do they build with each other?

11 Of Mice and Men Reading Three

12 What does George’s conversation with Slim reveal about George? Consider how and why George’s reactions to Lennie changed over time Consider how open George is with Slim—why is this?

13 What is Carlson’s plan for Candy’s dog? Why does Candy keep his dog around in the first place? What influences Carlson to feel this way about Candy’s dog?

14 Most of the time, when George sits down to play cards, he plays Solitaire What does this tell us about his character? How do others react to this? (p. 28, 40)

15 First Impressions Chart Work with a partner or individually to complete a character chart for: George, Lennie, Curly, Curly’s wife, Candy, and Slim. This is your first impression, so do not over-write! Pick short quotes that inform you about each character and explain why those quotes explain that character May be written in bullets rather than full sentences We will come back to these at the end of the novel, and make adjustments

16 Creative writing exercise in imagery and voice: Describe this section from Candy’s point of view. Based on what you know about him and the other characters, write this scene as if he were telling it to a buddy. Details you could include: A description of the bunk house His first impression of George and Lennie What he thought of George and Lennie’s argument His opinion on Curly’s picking fight with Lennie His opinion’s on Curly’s wife

17 Character-based Prediction Consider the following minor characters: Curley Curley’s wife Candy Slim Carlson Which do you predict will have a positive relationship with George and Lennie? Which will have a negative relationship? Make note of what Steinbeck does in order to defend your assertions (diction, figurative language, etc.)

18 Homework Read pages 44-56 and answer the following questions: What causes Candy to come to a decision about his dog? What does the relationship between the young laborer and Bill tell you about the conditions these men live in? What might George’s “deliberate” solitaire hand symbolize?
