Blooms Taxonomy :)

10 question quiz.

1.what do you think could happen to George after he killed Lennie?

I think that after George killed Lennie the rest of the guys all saw and were happy. I think that Candy and George never got that house and the land. I think that their dreams also died away with Lennie. George probably went on with his life from farm to farm trying to be happy.
2.Can you name the person that wanted to get the farm with Lennie and George?

Candy
3.What do you think would change if Lennie never killed Curly's wife?

I think that if Lennie never killed Curly's wife then Lennie would still be alive and that Lennie George and Candy would have gotten their dream house and Lennie would be tending to the rabbits (which he probably would wind up killing) and Candy would cook and grow veggies and George would work at different farms.
4.What questions would you ask Candy at the moment they killed his dog?

I would ask him how he felt? why didn't he fight more for the dog he loved? If he could go back and save his dog would he?
5.Is this book similar to Native Son? why or why not?

I think the book is similar to Native Son but only in a few ways. I think that the killings and deaths that were accidental were similar, and how some of the characters seemed lost and out of place and weren't really sure who they were yet and were trying to get to their dreams.
6.What do you consider the turning point to be?

I think the turning point would be when Lennie killed Curly's wife because that's when the whole story changed. It went from a happy story that could end with all of their hopes and dreams happening to a sad ending with the killing of Lennie and their dreams.
7.What differences exist between George and Lennie?

George is smarter obviously, but he lives a sheltered life, unable to appreciate the small things in life and he works hard to provide for him and Lennie. on the other hand Lennie is a happy person who is easily amused and finds the little things of life most pleasurable.
8.could this have happened in our time?

I think that this could happen anytime and probably does happen we just don't know about it.
9.What are some of the motive behind Curly's violent behavior to everyone?

He is a smaller man and he feels threatened by the bigger stronger men. He also wants to keep the other men away from his beautiful lonely wife.
10.If you could describe this book in one word what would it be? why?

depressing.
