HW

Good morning,

This morning was a bit of a shock.  Most of the class had appointments or ailments that halted our precious academic time together.  Please try to make your appointments for after school.  Drink water, wash your hands and get enough sleep.  School is your priority.  Plus, I miss you when you are not here.  The homework assignment for tonight will be a bit lengthy.

Your homework for tonight:
To finish tonight's homework, you must read chapter 5.  If you were lucky enough to be in class today -  you were lucky enough to see our talented actors act out a major turning point of the story.

Chapter 5 starts on page 84.  If you need auditory support (if you want to listen while you read) click on the link below:

Option one:
1. Why do you think that Lennie killed his dog?

2. How did Curley's wife act towards Lennie?

3.  Why do you think that Lennie became violent after touching Curley's wife's hair?

4.  Draw a picture of Curley's wife.

5. How did Lennie kill Curley's wife?

Option two:
In a five sentence paragraph, answer the following question:

Discuss how Lennie felt when he killed Curley's wife.  It isn't explicit -- you must infer based on what you know of Lennie and your empathy for him.
