The following questions were on the board and I am adding them to my website, even though you copied them down in class. Q1: How did Lennie's mouse die? (find the answer, quote and cite it, elaborate as needed). Q2: What does George tell Lennie to do if he is in trouble? (find answer, quote and cite it, elaborate as needed). Q3: in what ways does Lennie meet George's need for a companion? In what way does Lennie fail to meet George's need? Q4: What are the dominant contrasts at the river? Hint: the first contrast is the river area (setting) versus George and Lennie (characters); the second contrast is between
George and Lennie. Q5: What are the ways people overcome lonliness? What are good ways to stop being lonely? Remember, MLA format, in pen, no cross-outs, SKIP LINES!
