Of Mice and Men - Review

Start of Chapter 3:
What new information do we learn about Lennie’s relationship with George? (history)

New information we learn about Lennie’s relationship with George:

• They were born in the same town and have known each other for a long time. 

• After Lennie’s aunt died, George started taking care of him.
  

• George used to play pranks on Lennie, but after Lennie nearly drowned because of this, he stopped.
  

Why is the story of the woman in the red dress important?

Why is the story of the woman in the red dress important? 

The story is important for multiple reasons:

1. It is the reason George and Lennie had to leave Weed and caused them to end up at the ranch.
2. Lennie’s actions tend to get him in trouble, because he does not understand what he’s doing.
3. At the end the red dress is also compared to the puppies, showing that it is more than just animals that Lennie likes to touch. 
4. The repetition of the story could also foreshadow something similar happening in the future. 

Foreshadowing

A suggestion / indication of something that will happen later on in the story.

Creates suspense, arouses curiosity, can appeal to our emotions

What do we learn about Slim, and how would you describe his personality?

What do we learn about Slim, and how would you 

describe his personality? 

We learn that he is good at reading people, calm, and can get people to confide in him. 

He does not talk much himself, but he does ask questions to keep the conversation going.

                                                                                   What is his job title?

Slim is a jerkline skinner

The jerkline skinner is in charge of directing the mules with a long, thin rope called a jerkline, which is attached to the animals' harnesses. This job requires a great deal of skill and experience.

Chapter 3 discusses different women,
namely: Curley’s wife and the prostitutes.
How do the men on the ranch view these women?

Chapter 3 discusses different women, namely: 

Curley’s wife and the prostitutes.

How do the men on the ranch view these women?

The women are either entertainment or trouble. 

The men talk about the money, the whiskey and the chairs, 

but not about the women that they are paying for. 

What reasons are we given to think their ‘dream’ will succeed or fail?

What reasons are we given to think their ‘dream’ 

will succeed or fail? 

It could succeed because 

• George already knows of a place they could buy, 
• and Candy wants to join them and has money they could use. 
• They have constructed a plan. 

The other workers finding out about the plan could be a reason for it to fail. 

Why do you think Candy says: “I ought to of shot that dog myself, George. I shouldn’t ought to have let no stranger shoot my dog”?

Why do you think Candy says: “I ought to of shot that dog myself, George. I shouldn’t ought to have let no stranger shoot my dog”?

For example:

He feels like it was his responsibility. 

The dog was his and he’d had it for a long time. 

He also compares himself to the dog – he would rather get shot after getting fired than have to suffer the rest of his life alone. 

What could it foreshadow?

You now know more about:

- George and Lennie's relationship

- George and Lennie's American Dream 

- Slim and his personality 

- How women are viewed in the book 

- What might happen at the end of the book

OMAM: how to prepare for the test

- Read the book

- Use the chapter questions in the booklet to see what is important

- The assignments I gave you are necessary too (main characters, character mindmap and setting)

- Mock test on 22 May

Time to read your book

Homework for next Thursday: read last chapter!

Who says this to whom:

"I could get you strung up on a tree so easy it ain't even funny"

And what does it imply?

What is Crooks' reaction?

"Crooks had reduced himself to nothing"

"Yes ma'am", and his voice was toneless"

Curley's wife's remark refers to lynching. Crooks is shown as the most vulnerable character on the ranch, since Curley's wife, also a weak character, can cause him to retreat so quickly.

Crooks gives up on his dream of joining Lennie and George
