1 To read and understand chapter 2 of the novel.

2 Let’s read chapter 2 Continue adding to your brainstorms. We also need to create new brainstorms for the characters of Candy, Curley, Slim & Curley’s Wife: “old man looked uneasily” Candy “old swamper” Slim “he moved with a majesty only achieved by royalty” Curley “Curley lashed his body around” “he wore high heeled boots”

3 Checking Understanding
What does the language used by Candy to describe the stable buck tell us about the relationship between blacks and whites? How does this link to context? What words and phrases does Steinbeck use in introducing us to Curley which suggest that he might cause trouble for Lennie? Do you think that the ranch hands find Curley’s Wife attractive? Does this also include Lennie? Give examples which suggest she openly flirts with the men. How does Steinbeck’s description of Slim suggest that he carries authority amongst the men? What evidence is there to suggest that the social environment in which the story takes place is one of hostility? What effect does this have on workers like George and Lennie? How can we link this to context?
