LO: What factors in American Society can I relate to the novel? How does Steinbeck use his characters to suggest issues within American society? Success Criteria: Your point discusses which character conveys which issue. Your quote is evidence for this. You look at a word or technique in the quote. You explain what Steinbeck is saying about American society. Challenge: You consider an alternative reading of your quote. Example: Steinbeck uses the character of Curley’s Wife to convey the sexism in America at the time. This can be seen through her lack of name. Through referring to her as “Curley’s wife” it implies that she is owned by a man and that this ownership defines who she is as a person/character. Steinbeck doesn’t allow the reader to discover her name to highlight that woman lacked rights and were merely possessions in America at the time.
