In chapter two of the novella, the reader is introduced to Slim through the use of direct and indirect characterization. Slim is percieved as someone who is practical because he does things that many people would not. "Nine of 'em. I drowned four of 'em right off. She couldn't feed that many" (35). Slim drowned four of his puppies because he knew the mom would not be able to feed that many, which proves he is practical.

"In chapter one of Of Mice and Men, we get a feeling that George and Lennie will not achieve their dreams of owning a farm. When George and Lennie are preparing for bed, Lennie asks George to talk about their plans of owning rabbits. Lennie states, "Let's have different color rabbits, George", to which George responds with, "Sure we will. Red and blue and green rabbits, Lennie. Millions of 'em" (16). We all know that having millions of rabbits that are red, blue, and green is just not possible. Knowing this, I realized that their future plans were more than likely not going to happen.
First-person language
What is wrong with this example?
In chapter two, I got a sense that the ranch could be dangerous for George and Lennie. Steinbeck foreshadows this danger when Lennie says, "Le's go, George. Le's get outta here. It's mean here" (33).
You cannot use First-Person language in essays.
Where does the period go after you introduce a in-text citation?
After the page number.
What is wrong with this example?
... the audience gets a sense that something bad could happen later in the text. When George and Lennie are eating supper the night before they start working at the ranch, George tells Lennie that if he were to get in trouble to come back to the spot they are at and hide: "Lennie--if you jus' happen to get in trouble like you always done before, I just want you to come right here an' hide in the brush" (15). George knows there is a high probability Lennie will get himself in trouble due to prior experiences.
There is no concluding statement.
In chapter two of Of Mice and Men, the reader is introduced to Curly. Curly is mean and arrogant towards the other men on the ranch. The reader can see this when Candy states, "Well... tell you what. Curly's like a lot of little guys. He hates big guys. He's alla time picking scraps with big guys. Kind of like he's mad at 'em because he ain't a big guy." (26). Due to Curly's small size, he feels like he has to make up for it through fights with others who are bigger than him.
Curley's name is spelled wrong. PROOFREAD!!!
Why is this paragraph ineffective?
Lennie acts in a very child-like manner. The reader can see this when George says, "He's dumb as hell, but he ain't crazy. An' I ain't so bright neither, or I wouldn't be buckin' barely for my fifty and found. If I was bright, if I was even a little bit smart, I'd have my own little place, an' I'd be bringin' in my own crops, 'stead of doin' all the work and not getting what comes up outta the ground" (39). George is defending Lennie by claiming his friend is not crazy, he just is not smart.
The quote does not match the claim being made.
Name 3 things you cannot do with the title of your body paragraph.
Underline, Italicize, use quotation marks, capitalize every letter, change font or size
What is wrong with this example?
In chapter one of the novella, Steinbeck writes "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" (2). This gives the reader a sense of his physical attributes.
There is not a topic sentence.
In chapter two of the novella, the reader is introduced to Candy through the use of direct and indirect characterization. Candy only has one hand. Becuase of this, the boss of the ranch, Carlson, doesn't let him do the same work as the other men. Candy has an old dog who smells and has a can't move very well, which symbolizes how Candy is thought of. Carlson asks Slim to give on of his puppies to Candy so he can get rid of the old dog. He states, "That dog of Candy's is so old he can't hardly walk. Stinks like hell, too. Ever' time he comes he comes into the bunkhouse I can smell him for two, three days. Why'n't you get Candy to shoot his old dog and give him one of the pups to raise?" (36). By Candy having a dog that is percieved in this manner, it alludes to the idea that Candy is the same because he is old and only has one hand...
Use of contractions
What is wrong with this example?
In chapter two of Of Mice and Men, the reader is introduced to Curley. Curley is mean and arrogant towards the other men on the ranch. The reader can see this when Candy states, "Well... tell you what. Curley's like a lot of little guys. He hates big guys. He's alla time picking scraps with big guys. Kind of like he's mad at 'em because he ain't a big guy." (26). Due to Curley's small size, he feels like he has to make up for it through fights with others who are bigger than him.
The period is on the inside of the quote instead of after the citation.

In chapter two of the novella, the reader is introduced to Curley's wife through the use of direct and indirect characterization. The reader can predict that Curley's wife will cause some type of trouble later in the text. We learned in chapter one that the woman's dress Lennie touched that caused them to flee Weed was red. Now, as Curley's wife was introduced, the reader can see many similarities. Steinbeck introduced her as having "full, rouged lips and wide-spaced eyes, heavily made up. Her fingernails were red... She wore a cotton house dress and red mules, on the insteps of which were little bouquets of red ostrich feathers" (33). Curley's wife was all dressed up in red from head to toe. Because she had this color on, the reader can assume she signifies danger...
