Of Mice and Men

Imagine a seventh chapter that details the events of George’s life without Lennie. What happens to George? Does he maintain any of the relationships he started at the ranch? What happens to the dream farm? Cite evidence from the text to support your outcome.

Curley’s wife is not depicted as a wholly innocent character. Is this treatment of her fair or unfair? Prepare a defense of her character and support your point of view with evidence from the novella.

Do you agree with George’s decision to take Lennie’s life into his own hands, or do you believe George should have turned Lennie into the law?
