In conclusion, I believe that these foresĪdowings play a big role in helping the reader understand the novel.
Lennie would have been imprisoned, and the dog was a major burden to himself and others. It includes rough draft templates for students to write poems of their own and for the class to practice together, as well as a book for their published work.8 Poems Included:- Acrostic-Limerick-Haiku-Cinquain-Couplet-Shape-Spine Poem-'I Am' PoemPublished Poetry BookThe book includes different versions of each page. The dog and Lennie both had no life ahead of them. 106) The shootings of the dog and Lennie were both painless, and happened because they were unavoidable. George raised the gun and steadied it, and he brought the muzzle close to the back of Lennie's head… he pulled the trigger. He wouldn't feel nothing.(p.45) This foreshadows the later incident when Lennie was killed, reluctantly, by George. 'Let go!' she cries… he shook her, and her body flopped like a fish, for Lennie had broken her neck.(p.91) He ran away after this and was pursued by the workers.Ī third event in the novel presents Candy, the swamper, having his old, outcast, useless dog shot right back of the head. She feared he would mess it up, so she jerked her head sideways, and Lennie's fingers closed on her hair and held on. She asked him to feel her hair, because it was so soft. The guys in Weed start a party out to lynch Lennie.'(p.41) Curley's wife and Lennie were talking and the subject of feeling soft things came up.
So he reaches out to feel this dress, and the girl lets out a squawk, and he holds on. He's still mad about his hand.(p.97) Curley had been waiting for revenge on Lennie since their fight.Īnother example of foreshadowing is George confiding in Slim why he and Lennie were forced to leave Weed, a small Californian town. 26) This foreshadows that Curley will fight Lennie at some point later on. Kind of like he's mad at 'em because he ain't a big guy. Get up on your feet.' He slashed at Lennie.(p.62) Candy warned George and Lennie when they first came to the ranch. One major example was when Lennie got in a fight with Curley. The ranch job would get them closer to buying their own little corner of the world. They travel together, forever chasing the dream of getting a piece of land to call their own. Lennie is a man who doesn't think for himself, and relies on George for guidance. The main characters in the book are Lennie, a huge man with the mind of a young child, and George, a small man who had landed them a job on a ranch. While they may not be noticed at first, they stick out like a sore thumb in the end. In the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, there are many instances of foreshadowing.
