Bellwork  Access your list of 5 facts about the Great Depression that affect the characterization of Lennie and George and be ready to explain how Steinbeck uses them.

Chapter 1 Characterization  George is a caretaker, giving Lennie simple instructions he cannot remember. –Theme- Loneliness  He believes he can protect Lennie from himself. –Theme-Powerlessess

Homework  Find out what poem Steinbeck used as a basis for the title Of Mice and Men.  As you read chapters 3-6, look for vocabulary words from the list (that I will give you, later).

Chapter 1 Characterization  Lennie is childlike, eager to please, but his forgetfulness and naiveté are flaws that haunt him and George. –Theme-Powerlessness

Chapter 1: Literary Device  Motif- Recurring Theme.  George believes he and Lennie will own a farm, and his concern is genuine. They will live “off the fatta’ the lan.” –Theme- Nature of Dreams, namely the American Dream.

Chapter 1: Literary Device  Animal Imagery- Comparing characters with animals. –Lennie is compared to a bear (size and strength). –His hands are described as paws.

Chapter 1: Literary Device  Animal Imagery (continued) –Lennie is associated with mice and rabbits.  Snorts like a horse.  Circles like a terrier.

Chapter 2: Theme  Fate- due to human weaknesses and outside forces, life is unpredictable. –Chapter one deals with the world of nature. –Chapter two deals with the world of men (bunkhouse). –The contrast brings out the theme of fate.
