-Earn about $10,000 a year
-Need to make money in order to provide for their families back at home or to flee from anything dangerous going on in their countries
"On all the harvests, men and women work side-by-side doing the same job, and women work just as fast as the men. ... You come home really tired... I’m usually in bed by 9:00 to get up at 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning to make and pack some tacos for the day. Also, undocumented workers don’t have any medical insurance -- so the majority of us just buy over-the-counter pills for any problems. Luckily, I haven’t had many health issues yet." -Odelia Chavez
Shows that this is a exhausting job and they are coming to this country and risking it all in order to make very little money

According to history.com, "the national suicide rate rose to an all time high in 1933" (history.com).

Curley's wife threatens Crooks with death for telling her to get out. According to the NAACP, California was among the few states that lynched more whites than blacks due to political reasons not racial reasons. 
Many of the victims were immigrants who had chosen to do the wrong decisions. 
Many in California watched the public lynching events as entertainment or watched it as a show.
"A few men pose below the branches of a hanging tree. Some smile" (scpr.org).  
California and Texas was known to be one of the most dangerous places for Latinos and Asians.  ]]> 2019-01-15 23:42:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mli53271/2xuvj60uugb3/wish/321041528 mli53271 https://padlet.com/mli53271/2xuvj60uugb3/wish/321044202 Please answer the questions before the discussion begins!

1. In the beginning of chapter 4, Crooks was introduced while rubbing his back with liniment in his harness room. The chapter ends with Crooks rubbing his back with liniment. What is the significance of this repetition of scenes? ]]> 2019-01-16 00:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mli53271/2xuvj60uugb3/wish/321044202 mli53271 https://padlet.com/mli53271/2xuvj60uugb3/wish/321044424 2. Candy’s old dog was put to death by being shot in the back of the head and Lennie was killed after being shot in the back of the head. What is the connection between Candy’s old dog and Lennie’s death?]]> 2019-01-16 00:05:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mli53271/2xuvj60uugb3/wish/321044424 mli53271 https://padlet.com/mli53271/2xuvj60uugb3/wish/321045049 3. Curley's wife was still blamed for the cause of Lennie's death and the dream (about the farm). (Also remember the types of women portrayed in the novella) Why do were women so badly portrayed? What was the reason Steinbeck wrote about the women like this? ]]> 2019-01-16 00:09:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mli53271/2xuvj60uugb3/wish/321045049 mli53271 https://padlet.com/mli53271/2xuvj60uugb3/wish/321050457 Do not answer!
1. Did you end up sympathizing with Curley’s wife? 

2. Do you think George made right decision; killing Lennie?

3. What are your thoughts about the ending? Hated it, loved it or okay?
