English 9 Class Notes

Objectives: Freshmen explained and identified literary concepts in a novel.

Freshmens, we completed the second chapter of our novel today and began the third. We discussed in depth the characters of Candy, Slim, and Curley, and the various conflicts revealed in the novel to this point, including that in the initial exposition of George and Lennie “running out of Weed”. Fernando pointed out that the anecdote of Slim’s dog’s puppies seemed to highlight the difference between the strong and the weak, those who can take care of themselves and those who can not; we’ll revisit this Friday as we examine the incident with Candy’s dog and Carlson’s solution to its misery.

Astute thinking today, kids. I like it.

We’ll pick up the story in a couple of days.
