English 9 Class Notes

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

We nearly completed chapter 4 today and we discussed Crooks interaction with Lennie, and you noted that the every one of the men who could potentially share in George and Lennie’s stake have some physical, intellectual, or spiritual handicap. Lennie, obviously, intellectually disabled. Candy is missing a hand and near the end of his life. Crooks, who wants in after hearing Lennie shares his and George’s dream, has a broken back and is shunned because of his race. George is paying penance for his formerly cruel treatment of Lennie, who now limits George’s activity by his presence. All of these men are looking for a place to be.

We’ll complete the story next time.

See you then.
