Part 5:
(REMEMBER: These questions are OPTIONAL;
you can respond to them in a post, or just used them as direction for what to
focus on while you read)
1. Lennie and Curley’s wife both confided in
each other. What did she tell Lennie and why do you think she chose him to
confess this too? What did he tell her and what event did this lead to?
2. Describe what Curley’s wife looked like
once she died (p. 92-93). What is ironic about this description?
3. What question does Candy ask George, and
what is his response? (address two important quotes here… one on p. 94 and the
other on p. 95) WHY do you think George plans to become just like every other
rancher, rather than live out the dream with Candy?
4. What is Curley’s motivation for going after
Lennie? Use quotes to support your answer.
5. What lie does George tell Slim? Before
reading part 6, what did this lie make you think about George’s plan? After
reading part 6… WHY ___________________
Part 6:
1. Analyze Lennie’s hallucination. Use some
quotes to support what you think it all means.
2. WHY DID GEORGE SHOOT LENNIE? (Use previous
events, info, quotes to prove the foreshadowing AND the explanation for WHY he
did it.)
3. Why did Steinbeck choose to have Carlson,
of all characters, be the last one to speak in the novel? What significance do
his words have? OR What theme do his words support? à “Now what the hell do ya suppose is eatin’
them two guys?”
