We reviewed Joshua's homework on Steinbeck's use of imagery in the novel. We discussed how imagery enhances theme as when ,for example, Steinbeck uses figurative language to describe Lennie in terms of various large unthinking animals. In preparation for tomorrow's test, I further reviewed how the Edenic imagery mirrors a mythological America that has been corrupted by Man. Last, as an exercise on identifying imagery and its component figurative language, I distributed a portion of a short story by Steinbeck. Joshua did well in identifying the suffusive imagery in the passage.
