Of Mice and Men Ending Discussion
Instructions: Please look under your desk for a name, and group yourself in threes according to the name you find there. When you find your group, please take out a clean sheet of paper and write all names down. (Along with any aliases you would like me to know. Just in case.) Please choose a different “secretary” for each question. (Five questions.)
Question #1 Why do you believe that George chose to kill Lennie? What would have been his rationale?
Question #2 What was George’s state of mind after killing his friend, and the other men arrived? Look carefully at the bottom of page 106, and page 107. How is George described? What is he doing, how is he acting? What evidence do you have of what his state of mind is?
Question #3 What do you think Slim meant when he said to George, “A guy got to sometimes”?
Question #4 Why do you think the story begins and ends at the pond?
Question #5 Why does Carlson get the last word? (The last line of the book is Carlson’s question, “Now what the hell ya suppose is eatin’ them two guys?”) What message is being sent with this line?
