Think Write
Quickly re-read pages 76 (bottom) to 83. As you read about Lennie, Crooks, and Candy talking about the dream of “living offa the fatta the lan',” analyze how even the cynical Crooks gets pulled in. Then analyze what happens when Curley's Wife enters the scene. What are her issues? What is her life like? What is her dream? Why doesn't she have a name? How does she treat the men? What happens to Crooks as a result of her threats? You don't need to answer all the questions above, just focus on what seems most interesting and important to you. Use specific quotations to focus your writing. Write more than one page.
