3 “Of Mice & Men” - Section Two
Setting the Scene Re-read the first two paragraphs of this section (p.18 & 19) Again, Steinbeck ‘sets the scene’ by describing the bunk-house before the characters enter. Why do you think he does this? On the next slide you will find a blank ‘room’ and a series of images showing the things that Steinbeck describes within the bunk-house. Put the correct colour on the walls, then drag and drop the images to create your own picture of the room.

10 “Of Mice & Men” - Section Two
Foreshadowing Again, Steinbeck drops hints about what might happen later on in the book. Read the quotations below and decide what events they might foreshadow. Don’t forget to check later to see if you guessed right! “You keep away from Curley, Lennie.” (George - p.31) “Hide till I come for you. Don’t let nobody see you.” (George - p.31) Foreshadowing “Why’n’t you get Candy to shoot his old dog ...” (Carlson - p.37) “Gosh, she was purty.” (Lennie - p.33)

11 “Of Mice & Men” - Section Two
Closing the Scene Notice how all the action in this section takes place in the bunk house. Now look at the last paragraph of the scene. Referring back to events in this section, what do you think the significance of Candy’s old dog might be? Write your ideas below.

12 “Of Mice & Men” - Section Two
Closing the Scene Here are some ideas about the significance of Candy’s old dog. Candy has had him since he was a pup - they are loyal friends, just like George and Lennie. The dog is now old and worn out. He is no longer useful, - look what happens to him later in the story. He is an ‘outsider’, because he is old and worn out. When you have finished the story, think about the links between the ‘outsiders’. Slim’s puppies are newly born - it is significant that we hear about them in the same section that we meet the dog.

13 “Of Mice & Men” - Section Two
Extension Work 1. Why do you think George lies to the Boss about his relationship with Lennie? (p.23) 2. Is Curley’s wife really looking for her husband? If not, what is she doing in the bunk-house? (p.32-33) 3. Why does George tell Lennie to stay away from Curley’s wife? (p.33) 4. What sort of man does Slim seem to be? Look carefully at the conversation between Slim and George. (p.35-36) Questions
