Beginning Of Mice and Men

Filed under English 1 and tagged , , , , | Leave a Comment

Hey English classes,

It’s time to start reading Of Mice and Men! As you can tell from class, this is my favorite book that we read. It’s very short (that’s why it’s called a “novella,” not a novel. But the story is very dense and is full of imagery, symbolism, and contains themes, such as loneliness and friendship, that are very applicable today.

To discuss the novel in-depth with your classmates, as well as myself, visit the Of Mice and Men wiki. The more complete this wiki is, the better you’ll do on your quizzes and test. The interactive class projects we do will also be available on the wiki.

In case you lose your study guide, you can download it here.

So, my dog stresses me out. He’s always twitching when he sleeps. I searched “dog twitches when he sleeps” and every answer I’ve seen says, “The dog is dreaming.” But do dogs have dreams? And if so, what do they dream about? First answer the poll question and then comment.
