TRANSCRIPT
1. Scenery in Chapter OneBefore we meet any characters the narrator introduces us to the California valley, along the Salinas River, and its beautiful landscape.
The description of the green river and its yellow sands is a quiet image, broken only by the entrance of George and Lennie.
3. George“…small and quick, dark of
face, with restless eyes and sharp, strong features. Every part of him was defined: small, strong hands, slender arms, a thin and bony nose.”
He was the smart one out of the two characters.
4. Lennie“Behind him walked his opposite, a huge man, shapeless of face, with large, pale eyes, with wide, sloping shoulders; and he walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws. His arms did not swing at his sides, but hung loosely.”
He had the mind of a child.
5. What things does Lennie say and do that make him seem like a child?
• He copies George.
• He can’t remember anything.
• He is fixated on owning rabbits.
• Like a child he whines for ketchup for his beans.
• Like a child he demands a bedtime story.
• He “babbles” like a baby because George won’t
let him have the dead mouse.
8. Why did George and Lennie leave Weed?
Lennie accidently hurt a girl– he wanted to pet her dress, but she did not know it.
12. Where does George tell Lennie to hide if he gets into any trouble?
To hide in the brush by the river
