In the beginning the writer uses a lot of positive adjectives and adverbs and nouns I think this is because it sets us up to be happy and light minded because we slowly see the disappointment set in of how their life actually unfolds.

The writer uses language to show emotional affect through the quote "we’d have our own place where we belonged and not sleep in no bunk house "this suggests there care about each other and they want a future together and there planning ahead were they will sleep which show how seriously they are .

In of mice and men, the writer uses a reference to a family member which could be used as an emotional effect, because if that family member has past it would be a sentimental memory. This is seen with the quote ' like the one gran'pa had' this suggests that the writer wanted to relate to something from their past to add a smidgen of emotion. This has a sad effect on me as a reader, because he wants to do something that would remind him of his grandad and as a reader this has a big impact, because, who doesn't like something sentimental added in for effect.

The writer uses emotive language to show emotional effect. I think that the lines between 9 and 21 are very uplifting and wholesome. They were talking about what I think would be activities that they could possibly enjoy. “George‘s hands stopped working with the cards” this suggests that he was thinking or that he was unsure.

(4 marks 5 minutes)

“No place for rabbits now, but I could easy build a few hutches and you could feed alfalfa to the rabbits.”

“🤬 right, I could,” said Lennie. “You God 🤬 right I could.”

George’s hands stopped working with the cards. His voice was growing warmer. “An’ we could have a few pigs. I could build a smoke house like the one gran’pa had, an’ when we kill a pig we can smoke the bacon and the hams, and make sausage an’ all like that. An’ when the salmon run up river we could catch a hundred of ‘em an’ salt ‘em down or smoke ‘em. We could have them for breakfast. They ain’t nothing so nice as smoked salmon. When the fruit come in we could can it—and tomatoes, they’re easy to can. Ever’ Sunday we’d kill a chicken or a rabbit. Maybe we’d have a cow or a goat, and the cream is so God 🤬 thick you got to cut it with a knife and take it out with a spoon.”

Lennie watched him with wide eyes, and old Candy watched him too. Lennie said softly, “We could live offa the fatta the lan’.”
