READ Of Mice and Men over the Thanksgiving break:
in your first reading, remember that you are responsible for knowing what happens: be ready for a BASIC reading quiz on plot, events, and characters next Monday/Tuesday.
Based on our Tuesday discussion of the famous Bobby Burns poem, "To a Mouse," alluded to in the novel's title, watch for these themes as you read:
+main characters in vulnerable, low positions of society
+a "social union" being broken by the "dominion" of a larger force
+characters struggling to build a home that provides them security
+Characters don't see the larger forces that may suddenly change their lives
+People's "best laid plans" not coming to pass as they expect.
