Of Mice And Men

 

Part 1: The part of the novel is of two men dreaming of their own farm. They see to escape the past and start out fresh. It all falls apart with one decision, Thus; the dream dies.

 

Part 2: The main themes would be impossible dream and the power of women. Lennie a huge strong man who has the mind of a child and his friend/protector George a small dark of face man. They wish for a new start and their own land. The new land leads to a new start and not having to work on other people's land. The women end the dream. Lennie loves to pet soft things so one day he touches a girls soft dress. Well she screams, Lennie's only instinct is to hold on for life. George takes Lennie before the kill him for rape. The two men end up in another farm work stay out of trouble. Until another women's neck is snapped by Lennie.

 

Part 3: The protagonist(s) Lennie and George are static. They don't change in anyway and stay the same.

 

Part 4: A symbol would be the mouse. Lennie as sated earlier loves to pet soft things. Well he finds a mouse pets it and touches it until his strong fingers kill it. The mouse represents the future to come. In the past we see he rips a SOFT dress and kills a SOFT mouse. The foreshadowing of when the two men start fresh in a new farm.

 

Part 5: I choose this book because I read it before  and wanted to refresh myself on it. When I read it I understood much more. Once you pick it up you can't put it down.

 

Part 6: I saw so much of Lennie in myself how he never wants to fail and works hard to accomplish his dreams. Lennie isn't the smartest but with help he'll understand.

 

Part 7: One idea I will never forget would be when you love something set it free. For example, on page 106 "And George raised the gun and steadied it, and brought the muzzle of it close to Lennie's head." George set Lennie free otherwise Lennie would've ended up on jail. When you love or care about something set it free.
