CURLEY’s WIFE : She is presented as a possession. Also none of the men on the ranch talk to her: “I feel awful lonely”(this quote has connotations of isolation and being alone. )
And “Think I don’t like to talk to somebody every once in a while”
CROOKS: he is a black man without education. “But I now know” this quote has connotations of knowledge. Knowledge is always a blessing for people and can be positive or negative. It relates to the book as he has knowledge of black people being lower in the class wheel than whites(at the time racism was still really big)]]> 2020-06-15 11:42:38 UTC https://padlet.com/17haaahme/Bookmarks/wish/627195502 17haaahme https://padlet.com/17haaahme/Bookmarks/wish/627200805 Context
Linking to CURLEY’S WIFE, women in the 30s were not equal to men, so the men in the ranch did not treat her as they treat men as a result of her feeling lonely
Also the American Dream links to CURLEY’S WIFE as her American Dream was to be a movie star. “Coulda been in the movies “
CROOKS: black people were always treated badly by whites and crooks is an example. He is poor and works in a stable house with the only knowledge of knowing he is inferior to whites ]]> 2020-06-15 11:47:30 UTC https://padlet.com/17haaahme/Bookmarks/wish/627200805 17haaahme https://padlet.com/17haaahme/Bookmarks/wish/627204676 Key moment
When Candy’s dog is shot by Carlson. The killing of a dog foreshadows financial problems. This links directly to the Context because during the Great Depression, farmers lost all their crops and had problems with money. The effect in the reader is that a small detail of foreshadowing tells us exactly what happened at the time]]> 2020-06-15 11:51:00 UTC https://padlet.com/17haaahme/Bookmarks/wish/627204676 17haaahme https://padlet.com/17haaahme/Bookmarks/wish/627207432 A key character is Crooks because the farmers are going though the Great Depression but the character of crooks let’s us know that even though farmers(probably mostly white) are going through problems (and everybody knows about it) -the appearance of crooks makes me feel that there are other people in the world going through bad things and not only white people]]> 2020-06-15 11:53:18 UTC https://padlet.com/17haaahme/Bookmarks/wish/627207432 cilomee https://padlet.com/17haaahme/Bookmarks/wish/627222672 2020-06-15 12:06:10 UTC https://padlet.com/17haaahme/Bookmarks/wish/627222672 17borisla https://padlet.com/17haaahme/Bookmarks/wish/627242959 HAPPY late BIRTHDAY !!!
