Homework: Dear
parents/guardian, please assist your child with today’s homework.
Option 1: Read the
passage and answer the questions below:
Of Mice and Men takes place during America's Great
Depression, which lasted from the Stock Market Crash of October 1929 until 12
years later when World War II began.
Lennie and George are best friends on a road trip…of
Northern California.... The duo can't hold down jobs for long, thanks to
Lennie's childlike mentality and odd fetish for petting things, which includes
mice, rabbits, puppies, and women.
George Milton is our hero, a farmworker [with] small, strong
hands…
But there's more to him than a smart mouth and quick brain:
he may not show it much, but George is a deeply moral, good man.
Lennie Small is big. Unfortunately, that's about all he has
going for him—that, and he's got a really good friend.
So, what did Lennie do to deserve a friend like George?
