1) Question:  Write down the names of characters involved, as well 

as where and when the story is taking place at this point in the text.  

Next, write down questions you have about the story or characters, 

and any questions about the reading that you did not understand 

and would like clarification.

Lennie is the character involved, there is no specific place in the text its just a question on Lennies's personality, and my  question is what is the name of the handycap he has because the book never giver the name?

2) Prediction:  Write down your prediction for what you think will 

happen next in the story. Don’t forget to explain what happened in 

this chapter that helped you form this prediction.

I predict than Lennie is going to forget to keep his moth shut and is going to make them lose another job. I predict thhis because he did the same thing on the "weed" so he will most likely do it again.

3) Connection:  Write down anything that you found familiar:  

either a situation you have experienced, a character that reminds 

you of someone, or an event from the story that is similar to 

something you have already read.  *Remember to use good 

technology ethics!  Do not expose names of people anyone could or 

would know.  Use good judgement!

My connection is that Lennie and George remind me of my best friend and I, because we are total oposits 

Chapter 1 note-taking

picturing the history behined of mice and men

For a moment the place was lifeless, and then two men emerged from the path and came into the opening by the green pool.
They had walked in single file down the path, and even in the open one stayed behind the other. Both were dressed in denim trousers and in denim coats with brass buttons. Both wore black, shapeless hats and both carried tight blanket rolls slung over their shoulders. The first man was small and quick, dark of face, with restless eyes and sharp, strong features. Every part of him was defined: small, strong hands, slender arms, a thin and bony nose. Behind him walked his opposite, a huge man, shapeless of face, with large, pale eyes, with wide, sloping shoulders; and he walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws. His arms did not swing at his sides, but hung loosely.

The first man stopped short in the clearing, and the follower nearly ran over him. He took off his hat and wiped the sweat-band with his forefinger and snapped the moisture off. His huge companion dropped his blankets and flung himself. (1.2-4)

Sound familiar? Kind of like the pictures, right? In writing, compare and contrast this opening section from Of Mice and Men to the pictures you analyzed in class. What does the text and the photographs show us about the 1930s? Be specific!

I chose the first picture of the two people and the horses because, they are traveling just like the two characters in the book. The two people in the picture are opposite just like the people in the book. The only difference is that the people in the picture have horses but the people in the story do not. They look like they are going on a journey or traveling and thats what i think the people in the book are doing.
