1. How is section 1 different/the same as your expectations?
I found that they work on ranches, which is similar to when I said that I thought they'd work as farmers. I was also right that one was strong and one was smart, but so far the smart one seems more threatening then the strong one.
2. What dreams/ambitions do George and Lennie have?
I found out that they want to have a small house, a few acres, and make a small ranch and live there.
3. Do you think their dreams will be fulfilled? Why or why not?
I think that they will own a ranch and that their dreams will be fulfilled, because otherwise, there's no real goal for them in the book.
4. Personal Reflection on Section 1: likes, dislikes, characters, setting, plot, dialogue, imagery.
Steinbeck uses imagery a lot, as seen when describing the area that George and Lennie settle down in. He also makes Lennie seem less smart by the way that he talks and what he says. I'm not quite sure what's going to happen in the plot yet though. I'm not sure whether or not I like the book yet.
5. Three questions.
Will George and Lennie be able to find a job that they don't get chased out of?
Will George leave Lennie because of his carelessness? Will he leave him at all?
Will Lennie become protective over George or will George stay protective over Lennie?
Hello Sam,
ResponderEliminarI agree with the beginning of your blog entry. I also wrote that one of the men was smart and i also noticed that he was very cautious and then i noticed that the other man acted childish so it was kind of the same to yours. For their dreams i totally agree i wrote something a little different but i agree more with yours. For question for i also wrote that in the beginning of the book Steinbeck really describes the setting that they are in.
Will George and Lennie be able to find a job that they don't get chased out of?
I think that by the end of the book as you said this will have their own ranch and then they will work there, so they probably will get kicked out of the town that they are in now but then later on they will settle down somewhere together.
Will George leave Lennie because of his carelessness? Will he leave him at all?
I don't thing George would leave Lennie because George may be smart but he isn't tough so if he got in trouble some how he would be stuck there would be no one to help him. When George is with Lennie he has to explain a lot but he also is safe because Lennie is a big man and can beat people up!
Will Lennie become protective over George or will George stay protective over Lennie?
I think George will be protective in the way where he can tell Lennie what to do and what no to do and keep him safe. But then Lennie can beat people up if they get out of hand for George.
Some thoughtful comments and observations about the book. We'll have to read on to see what happens.
