In the novel, ¨Of Mice and Men,¨ the author, John Steinbeck, develops complex characters which opens the story up for interpretation. Steinbeck uses both direct and indirect characterization, which forces the reader to infer important traits about each characters. An example of a character is Crooks, a colored man working on a ranch during the Great Depression. Being the only black man on the ranch, Crooks is often looked down on as a stable bunk, and is not respected as the other men are. Because of this, Crooks is perceived as powerless.
“Of Mice and Men” Performance Task I think that it is a good thing that George Killed Lennie because Lennie had been killing people and animals. But I think that John Steinbeck wrote the book “Of Mice and Men” because he wanted to show us/the reader how bad it was then and compare it to how bad we thought/think it is now. If we the reader(s) compare then to now we would see how bad it used to be and we think that our lives are bad but really there not that bad.

I think Steinbeck had that as an original because something always happens in this book and it’s not always good. Well in this book the same bad thing happened twice, I think the title it has now has more meaning than the original. I also believe that the original would catch more attention because the readers will want to know what has happened. I think the original would have a different understanding because that reader is going to expect something very extreme has happened. I believe that John SteinBeck chose “Of Mice and Men” because it has more meaning to the book than the original.

After reading this book, I found myself shocked, and almost in a daze. From beginning to near end, this book talked about George, Lennie, and then Candy saving up their money and buying a huge plot of land. However, all of their future plans were destroyed from the moment Curley’s wife let Lennie stroke her hair.

Of mice and men is a book wrote by John Steinbeck. It is from the 1900’s and uses the language and setting from then. I read this in my class when I was in 10th grade.

Chemical Conjunctivitis Chemical conjunctivitis is eye inflammation from exposure to an irritant or chemical substance. This causes the clear membrane that covers the white part of your eye and the inner surface of your eyelid (conjunctiva) to become inflamed. When the blood vessels in the conjunctiva are inflamed, the eye may become red, pink, and itchy. Chemical conjunctivitis can occur in one or both eyes. It cannot be passed from one person to another (noncontagious).
