OF MICE AND MEN PRACTICE QUESTION
PART A) In this passage, how does Steinbeck introduce the relationship between George and
Lennie?
In the first line of the extract we get the impression that George is leading Lennie
...
” This shows that Lennie seeks refuge in George's space and being behind him may feel secure
and safe to Lennie
...
Lennie seems guilty standing behind George and George seems to be leading
the way, facing everything so that Lennie doesn't have to
...
Steinbeck presents Lennie as clumsy and light-headed which shows up George in a type of paternal
light
...
” This could symbolise that George is always protecting Lennie, and stopping him before
he does something stupid
...
'Lennie for God' sakes don't drink so much
...
George seems to look after
Lennie and Lennie seems dependant on George
...
Steinbeck shows the rarity of George and Lennie's relationship when it says; “Well, I never seen one
guy take so much trouble for another guy
...
” This shows that
close relationships between two men wasn't seen often in the USA
...
Ageism, sexism and racism where three main factors that
were commonplace in America
...
Ya see the stable buck's a nigger
...
Ageism also put strain on relationships on a ranch at the time
...
One example would be when Carlson argues about Candy's old dog and it says; “If you want me to,
I'll put the old devil out of his misery right now and get it over with
...
Can't
eat, can't see, can't even walk without hurtin'” This is ironic as the other ranch men probably think
the same about Candy
...
They were discriminated against as they were seen as useless
...
Curley's wife is discriminated against
because she is a woman
...
All of these factors backs up how good relationships were rare between people on a ranch, because
people's differences; whether it be gender, age or skin colour, parted people
...
