After reviewing the meaning of "foreshadowing ", Bobby located examples of foreshadowing in the first chapters including George's portentous comment that Lennie should return to the brush to hide in the event of trouble. I then commented on the genre of realism as depicting real people in real places with relatable problems. Bobby located in the text and placed in his notebook descriptive phrases from the text realistically describing Slim, Curley, and Curley's wife. With respect to Curley's wife, we noted Steinbeck's negative view of women in contrast to his admiration for the male friendship between George and Lennie. Last, we discussed the significance of Candy's old dog. Bobby did a good job recognizing the similarities between Candy and his dog, old lame and considered to be of little use to society. I discussed Steinbeck's novels as depicting how society treats outsiders, and the weak. For homework, read to end of Ch 3 and complete study guide work.
