WELCOME!
Please take some time to post two responses to Of Mice and Men before you return to class on January 4. Each post should be at least 100 words long and should include direct references to the text you are discussing. Even if you are responding to a quote in the prompt, you should bolster your own response with other references. Those references should include internal citations to note where you are in the book (p. #). When you make a post, please read all other posts for that question so that you are participating in a conversation. Please do not repeat what other students have already said. There are many questions from which to choose, so you should be able to discuss your ideas somewhere without being redundant. Remember to make some post-it notations about symbols and archetypes, along with any other ideas you would like to discuss when we get back to class.
Feel free to respond to as many prompts as you would like. If you respond to more than two, please asterisk the responses that are NOT for evaluation. Be sure your name appears on each comment, so I can see who you are. I think you will need to log in to your Google account as you work. If you can, please post with your school Google identity. If you post as "Anonymous" without your name, you will not be able to receive credit for your work, so be sure your name appears within the comment if you do that.
I agree with Crooks because everyone needs some relationship with other people in their life, and to watch each others backs and keep each other company. Some companionship is necessary to maintain and keep a person sane and healthy. When Crooks explain to Lennie about loneliness, he said, "A guy sets alone out here at night... Maybe if he sees somethin', he don't know whether it's right or not. He can't turn to some other guy and ast him if he sees it too. He can't tell. He got nothing to measure by" (73). Crooks experiences loneliness throughout his lifetime therefore he knows how a person to talk to is critical for people. A person simply by himself is not capable of getting a second opinion from another perspective on anything. Multiple perspectives are crucial to good decision making, therefore, having a companion will help with decisions to be made.
