Define The AMERICAN Dream

# data[].attributes.body
Think about how the book went down with George and Lennie wanting the ranch

# data[].attributes.body
Stienback was saying that hope = mptivation, but life sucks so it doesnt lways happen the way you expected it to. lidfe is unpredictable and i think Stieback was trying to express that life sucks but keep on keeping on. Liife is trying to kill you. Kill it back.

# data[].attributes.body
George could have left Lennie, but he didn't.

# data[].attributes.body
But w/o lennie George has s o l i t u d e

# data[].attributes.body
does lennie hurt or help? and obviously he is a good worker but what good is that if he doesn't know the simplest things

# data[].attributes.body
i think they depended on each other in a way but i guess if George did do his and Lennie's dream it would remind George of his action and by killing Lennie its like killing what they made as a goal together

# data[].attributes.body
Why did George feel like he couldn't leave Lennie? Any other normal man would...

# data[].attributes.body
do what ?

# data[].attributes.body
Remember at the end when Candy asked George if they could still get the house and the rabbits?

# data[].attributes.body
Lennie was too dependent on george

# data[].attributes.body
becuase maybelennie feels like more of a burdon than a partner?

# data[].attributes.body
How was Lennie use full to George, if everything he did was wrong?

# data[].attributes.body
Talk about some of our American heroes.  Are they alone?
The wild west, the western frontier?

# data[].attributes.body
Lennie knows that George gets mad though. George "gives him hell"

# data[].attributes.body
Tie it back into the American Dream

# data[].attributes.body
Why did Lennie felt lonely even though he had George?

# data[].attributes.body
we came here for independance, yet no one likes solitude

# data[].attributes.body
Is there something classically "American" about being alone?

# data[].attributes.body
good question

# data[].attributes.body
Candy and Crooks wanted to be part of George and Lennie's american dream.

# data[].attributes.body
what is steinbeck conveying with the american dream and how valuable it was

# data[].attributes.body
If Lennie could fend for himself why would george stick around?

# data[].attributes.body
They wanted to dictate what they do everyday, have something of their own

# data[].attributes.body
Having a ranch gave the characters in the novel MOTIVATION. THIER DREAM KEPT THE GOING

# data[].attributes.body
It's their goal to have a ranch and it makes them happy to imagine having their own ranch.

# data[].attributes.body
hope.

# data[].attributes.body
i think the amerian dream is having a good life and having love. america is supposed to = life, love, prisuit of happiness

# data[].attributes.body
level 3 questions and after asking them, answer them

# data[].attributes.body
American Dream

It's because curley isn't mentally ill

# data[].attributes.body
Was life fair back then? and why does it matter?

# data[].attributes.body
Why did they label? Why weren't they treated equally?

# data[].attributes.headline
eloborate on labeling and how did effect there lives

# data[].attributes.subject
eloborate on labeling and how did effect there lives

# data[].attributes.body
how people treat the mentally ill or the minority .....cause Lennie is different

# data[].attributes.body
It was to show that people weren't equal, they were label and treated poorly

# data[].attributes.body
All of the above

# data[].attributes.body
Steinbeck was using OMAM to do what? Comment on society? Criticize it? Mock it? Condemn it?

# data[].attributes.body
George killed Lennie for the better of Lennie. If he hadn't then Lennie would've most likely suffered.

# data[].attributes.body
We've just skimmed through different topics... Get into a topic to talk about!!! : )

# data[].attributes.body
George killed Lennie because he knew what would happen if he didn't, his death was merciful

# data[].attributes.body
answer your question to get the pebble skipping

# data[].attributes.body
what was the NATURE of Lennie's death?   WHY?

# data[].attributes.body
also remember that curley and carlson was after Lennie

# data[].attributes.body
how did loneliness effect the characters?

# data[].attributes.headline
Probably cause geroge wanted to be the one who kill him

# data[].attributes.subject
Probably cause geroge wanted to be the one who kill him

# data[].attributes.body
Why is society so mean to Lennie?

The men on the ranch call her Curley's wife because to them that's all she is and she doesn't mean anything more

# data[].attributes.body
Try not to repeat questions already asked.

# data[].attributes.body
How does the time period that the book was written in affect the way of the book?

# data[].attributes.body
What was happening in the country at the time and why does that correlate with the book?

# data[].attributes.headline
why were women treated differently than the men where?

# data[].attributes.body
how did the great depression effect the authors choice on how to write this story?

# data[].attributes.body
Was everyone on the farm equal, or was there a hierarchy? Discuss your answer.

# data[].attributes.body
But he was georg's good friend

# data[].attributes.body
They would've lynched Lennie if George didn't kill him

# data[].attributes.body
she did say she didnt like curly

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with santiago and focus on society

# data[].attributes.body
Focus on Historical Context (hint hint)

# data[].attributes.body
Historical Context and Society

# data[].attributes.body
What was Curley's wife always looking for during the novel?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that even if Steinbeck gave Curley's wife a name it wouldn't have mattered because women didn't matter in this era or time.

# data[].attributes.body
both. stienback was giving you subtly answered questions, it was up tp you to answer but the book also answered them.

# data[].attributes.body
Is Steinbeck saying throughout different characters that the American Dream wasn't achieveable during this time?

# data[].attributes.body
What was foreshadowed the most in the story?

# data[].attributes.body
Didnt she say she didnt even like curly?

# data[].attributes.body
Would the story of been better if George wouldn't of killed Lennie ?

# data[].attributes.body
Do yall think Lennie's actions were sort of like a ripple effect? Did Steinbeck write it out to be that  way

# data[].attributes.body
BECUASE thats where the dog was shot!!!!!

thats where they told him to shot the dog becuase it was PAINLESS, it shows us that lennie loves george

# data[].attributes.body
Start here: Everyone answer...
Was Steinbeck trying to make statements or raise questions with Of Mice and Men?

# data[].attributes.body
didn't steinbeck basically compare lennie to a animal? maybe that is why he always talks about tending the rabbits?

# data[].attributes.body
Dig in, guys. We're floating... skating past questions.

# data[].attributes.body
beacuase it gave the novel a sence of MOTIVATION
it was thyre reason for how they kept going

it had to do with plot

# data[].attributes.body
Think DEEPER... HUMAN CONDITION.
WHAT IS STEINBECK SAYING?

# data[].attributes.body
Steinbeck's PURPOSE for beginning a chapter with SETTING was...?

# data[].attributes.body
to get the sceneryout of the way before the drama started happeing

# data[].attributes.body
Talk about the sensory details + figurative language

# data[].attributes.body
If you do not agree or understand, you can politely challenge each other to back up (defend) statements.
