Chapter 5 homework

Visit the online version of Of Mice and Men at http://tinyurl.com/micemenonline

What insight do we get about Lennie over the course of Chapter 5?

Using "appropriate textual evidence" (words from the mark scheme), explain your perceptive interpretations - just like we did with Crooks' room.

You must include Lennie's episode with the puppy as well as his later interaction with Curley's wife.

Take care with spelling, punctuation and grammar as nearly everybody lost a significant amount of marks on this in the exam.

Aim for at least 500 words, as the assessment will be up to 1200 words so we need to start practising racking up larger pieces of writing.
