Which of these could apply to Lennie? The law of the jungle Which of these could apply to Lennie? Vulnerability Danger Amorality Foreboding Violence How are the themes of vulnerability and violence shown in the choice of the title alone?

Candy We are made to feel sorry for Candy later on in the novel. But how does Steinbeck introduce this character? Vulnerability Danger Amorality Foreboding Violence

Chapter 2: Meeting the cast LO: To consider how Steinbeck’s characters reflect the amoral landscape of 1930’s America (EXT: and perhaps reflect the discrimination present today?) FACT: disability hate crimes have increased in the past four years by 147 per cent. How could modern day readers link this to the description of the attack on Crooks?

Mini-assessment It will be on a character (not G or L) You will need to refer to context in some way (historical or modern – i.e. how it links to today’s readers). The focus is on you making a thoughtful response. Selecting relevant quotations, Explaining why Steinbeck used the language in the quote you have selected – how does it really tell us about the character? You will probably want to make a link to the themes we’ve been discussing: violence, vulnerability, foreboding/foreshadowing (the sense that something bad is going to happen), amorality, predator/prey – law of the jungle.

Mini assessment (20 mins) How does Steinbeck portray Curley’s wife in chapter 2? (29, 32-33) Note – you can refer to the way other characters talk/respond to her, as well as the way she is described. Vulnerability Danger Amorality Foreboding Violence
