Connect: Describe a place you already know or wish you had where you could escape all the troubles of the world. Be very specific in your details. Paint this place with words! 4. Respond: John Steinbeck said, In every bit of honest writing in the world there is a base theme: Try to understand men; if you understand each other you will be kind to each other.

Predict: You are roughly halfway through the novel. Based on what you know at this point, what do you think will happen in the remainder of the story? What do you base your prediction on? 6.

6 Reading Notes: Chapter Four (pgs ) Introduction While reading we will pause to make some observations. 1. Theme: Throughout the book Steinbeck explores human weakness, showing how one person or group dominates those who are weaker. Create a chart like the one below in your notebook and fill it in: Strong Verb Weak Reason Person X belittles person Y to prove to Z that he Analyze: Steinbeck suggests that many of the characters have some problem suffer from something that sets them apart from others.

7 Reading Notes: Chapters Five and Six (pgs ) Introduction While reading, we will pause to make some observations. These observations are intended to improve your ability to see and interpret key ideas and events in the story. Write your responses to the questions on this sheet in the Notes section of your Reader s Notebook as you read. 1. Plot: Draw and label a plot diagram with details from throughout the story that go with each stage. Climax Exposition Fled from Weed Been together for years Rising Action Falling Action Resolution 2. Character: Curley s wife is never given a name. Speculate about why Steinbeck refers to her as Curley s wife. Also, generate a list of three words that describe her as a person, then choose one and explain why that word best characterizes her. Provide examples to support. 3. Represent: Think of one word that describes all the characters in the book one word that somehow captures what they all have in common. Then write a paragraph in which you apply it to the characters and include examples that show what you mean. Here s a sample: All the characters, including Curley s wife, are x. Curley, for example, shows he is x by... And Carlson is no different. While different from Curley, Carlson... Several others, Candy and Crooks,... Finally, Lennie and George, despite their differences, are both... For example, Reflect and Respond: Throughout the reading of this novel, our Big Question has been, Am I my brother s keeper? Now that you have finished the novel, reflect on what you think this means in general, and as it applies to the novel in particular. Include examples from the story and your experience to support your thinking. 5. Reflect and Relate: At the end of the story, George kills Lennie. Reflect on what he did and why he did it. In what way is killing Lennie being his brother s keeper? Of course, if you think this was not the sort of thing a brother s keeper does, discuss why and defend your argument with examples and details from the text and/or your experience.
