Of Mice and Men
Prompt:Describe the atmosphere of the ranch and bunkhouse. Be sure to include characteristics of different characters that were formally or informally introduced to us in this chapter. Support your choice with textual evidence and interpretation.Why doesn't Curley's wife have a name? What message, if anything, is John Steinbeck trying to send by not giving her a first name? Support your choice with textual evidence and interpretation.
I think that the atompshere in the ranch and bunkhouse is somehwat a bit more negative. I think this because in the book Curley has problems with Lennie and I feel like that is going to cause more problems. The reason why I believe this is because in the book it says "Curley's like a alot of little guys. He hates big guys." (P.26) This helps show that there will be problems because Lennie is a big man and Curley hates big people so I feel like this will definently add some tention between them.
I think that the author doesn't impliment Curly's wife's name because maybe she has done some bad stuff in her past and possibly doesn't want aanyone to identify her as that person. I think this because she was very playful as she was talking to Lennie and George on page 31. I think that possibly she may be someone that Lennie may already know and that maybe Lennie knows her and possibly have a connection with each-other. I know this sound crazy but it's just a hypothesis that I have generated from the text so far.

Good blog Justin! I liked how you included the page numbers within the textual evidence. I like your theory of why Steinback doesn't give her a name. It's a good point, because Lennie has trouble remembering things, so maybe he wouldn't remember her. You need textual evidence in the second paragraph as well.
ReplyDeleteYour theories are weird, but I understand them. I would've never thought of that! A few typos but nothing else. Good work!
ReplyDeleteP.S I was thinking of choosing that photo!
Good job on your blog Justin! I really liked how you included the page numbers and textual evidence. I just wanted to point out that in your first paragraph you probably meant tension instead of tention. Your theory is actually pretty good since Lennie has trouble remembering stuff, as Mia said.
