Lesson Plans

Our lesson plan is to first introduce the students to the Author, through Power Point presentation. After the presentation there will be a questioning time. After that the students will be ask to write a mystery poem similar to Edgar Allen Poe's poem's.

Fraternity of Brotherhood

What makes a brother hood? Lennie and Gorge is the first display of brotherhood we are introduced to in the book Of Mice and Men. The bond between Lennie and Gorge is the strongest on the ranch they have been through everything together. Gorge always takes up for Lennie and I’m sure if Gorge was in trouble Lennie would step in for Gorge. Just like he did for Gorge when Crooks was trying to make him think the worst of Gorge. Candy, Lennie, and Gorge made a bond by talking about their living arrangements together. Slim and some of the other guys joined together to convince Candy to shot his dog. All the men came together to bribe Curley into not getting Lennie in trouble for crushing his hand. The same brotherhood that came against Curley for Lennie, joined with Curley to harm Lennie. Some of the bonds in this story started over night and some began years ago, some did not last, and most did not give up.

Service Learning Plans

In service learning I plan on finishing all the support letters and send them out to companies and other places so that we could recieve support with our task. I also plan to continue research on what we are teying to do so I could be well educated on the matter. I want to do this so that if someone ask me I know exactly what I want to say.

Motif Essay(READY!!!!)

Jezebel or lonely as hell? Who am I talking about? Curley’s wife that’s who. In the book Of Mice of Men Curley’s wife’s behavior would be labeled by many as not lady like. But in the movie she is portrayed as the lonely “damsel in distress” longing for some kind of companionship. While reading the book I noticed that every time Curley’s wife shows up she is promiscuous looking and everyone seems to be staying away from her. She is seen as being a scandalous woman who has a thing for Slim and craves male attention. Than again in the movie she seems like she just wants someone to talk to besides her short-tempered husband who does things like, break her most precious records. Which was the only means of entertainment she had left. Reading the book Curley sounds like he saved his wife and is providing for her and all she wants to do is be with other guys and cheat on him with the workers. But she really didn’t love him she really didn’t want him, she had dreams and she gave them up to marry Curley and live on a farm with no one to talk to. No friends no Family just Curley and the guys what would you do?
