(Modeled) Example Group • Explain the foreshadowing in chapter two and intended or potential effects. Use a cause and effect map to present the information. • George warns Lennie not to fight Curley unless he starts it……Curley will start a fight (29) • George reminds Lennie of the spot to go if there is trouble…..there will be trouble (30) • George warns Lennie to stay away from Curley’s wife….something will happen between Lennie and Curley’s wife (32) • Add quotations for additional support.

Group One The setting in chapter one is in direct contrast with the setting in chapter two. On a blank sheet of paper, create a comparison map showing the different settings. In the frame of reference, explain what Steinbeck was trying to achieve with this contrast.

Group Two Many are suspicious of George and Lennie traveling together, each with different reason for suspicion. On a blank sheet of paper create a classifying map with the reasons behind each of the following characters’ suspicion of George and Lennie: Boss, Curley, Slim. For the second row of the classifying map, list at least three character traits for Boss, Curley, and Slim.

Group Three Steinbeck often pairs characters to highlight characteristics that are different and/or those that are similar. An example is the paring of Slim and Carlson: Slim is compassionate and Carlson is insensitive when compared to each other or placed in similar situations. Create a comparison map for the pair of George and Candy.

Group Four Steinbeck often pairs characters to highlight characteristics that are different and/or those that are similar. An example is the paring of Slim and Carlson: Slim is compassionate and Carlson is insensitive when compared to each other or placed in similar situations. Create a comparison map for the pair of Curly and Lennie.

Group 5 Steinbeck often pairs characters to highlight characteristics that are different and/or those that are similar. An example is the paring of Slim and Carlson: Slim is compassionate and Carlson is insensitive when compared to each other or placed in similar situations. Create a comparison map for the pair of Slim and Lennie.

Group Six Steinbeck often pairs characters to highlight characteristics that are different and/or those that are similar. An example is the paring of Slim and Carlson: Slim is compassionate and Carlson is insensitive when compared to each other or placed in similar situations. Create a comparison map for the pair of Curley and Candy.

Group Seven • Naturalism is still heavily represented in chapter two. The nature of the world is harsh and cruel. Identify the examples in a brace map of how the world they live in considers the weak unworthy of protection. • Few comforts: sleep on rough, don’t own anything, only the strong survive, Slim-drowns puppies, doesn’t consider the welfare its weakest, and power is used irresponsibly.
