Presentation transcript:

Extract study: Section 6 (a) OVERVIEW: Lennie hides in the Brush From the start of the chapter to 'George came quietly out of the brush …’ What do you think is the significance of the book closing as it opens: with Lennie at the pool, having run from an incident? Are there any key images which tie in with this? 2. The first six paragraphs contain many images of nature. Copy and fill in the table below, showing what you think Steinbeck’s purpose is with each image: The Image: A water snake glided smoothly … the beak swallowed the little snake …’ Significance: Nature is presented as cruel at times – sometimes it is unavoidable that there are victims (Candy’s dog, drowned pups etc.) Many readers find the technique of presenting Lennie with the two visions very strange in such a realistic book. Explain what you think the significance of each is, and why Steinbeck decided to present each in this way. Does it work? What do Lennie’s ‘conversations’ with Aunt Clara and the rabbit reveal about his state of mind at this point in the novel? Comment on Steinbeck’s use of adverbs when describing how Lennie speaks. What do they reveal about him? Extension Look carefully at the ‘speech’ of Aunt Clara and the rabbit. In what ways are previous areas of the novel explored in these? How does the vocabulary and syntax echo other parts, and what is the significance of this?

Extract study: Section 6 (b) OVERVIEW: The Ending From 'George came quietly out of the brush …’ to the end of the novel 1. ‘Ain’t you gonna give me hell?’ Why do you think Lennie wants George to do this at this point in the novel? How does Steinbeck present George when he finally agrees to do this? 2. ‘The wind waves flowed up the green pool’. Comment on Steinbeck’s choice of image here, as the men get nearer to George and Lennie. 3.Why do you think George talks about the farm as he shoots Lennie? How does this conclude the theme of ‘dreams’? 4. Comment on Slim’s reaction to what George has done. How is this consistent with his character throughout? Link this to the shooting of Candy’s dog. 5.The last lines of the novel are famous. Think of as many reasons as you can for why Steinbeck chooses to end the novel in this way, and why the ending might fit in so well. 6.How do you feel about George’s decision? Was it the right thing to do? You might like to share ideas with a partner, leading to a class discussion or debate. Filling in a table like this might help: Reasons for shooting Lennie Possible reasons for not shooting Lennie Extension – Reflections at the end of the book What is Steinbeck’s overall message? Are any characters representative of a wider issue? Ultimately, is there anything redeeming or uplifting about the ending? Do you find the book realistic, pessimistic or both? What did you enjoy about reading Of Mice and Men?
