Study Questions & Answers: Of Mice and Men

By Answer Master

It is probable that your first reading of this book may have thoroughly entertained you, but being a student of English literature, that is not the goal that you are pursuing. There is more than reading a novel or a play for merely entertainment.

Generally, during the class, after the reading of a certain story or novel when the teacher presents a few questions in front of the students, they are quite confused, for they are sometimes not even able to understand the questions. The questions asked in a language class and a literature class are quite different.

Introduction

It is probable that your first reading of this play may have thoroughly entertained you, but being a student of English literature, that is not the goal that you are pursuing. There is more than reading a novel or a play for merely entertainment.

Generally, during the class, after the reading of a certain story or novel when the teacher presents a few questions in front of the students, they are quite confused, for they are sometimes not even able to understand the questions. The questions asked in a language class and a literature class are quite different.

A language teacher may ask you about the events, character’s actions, storyline, or a few other things which are very easy to pick from the text, but a literature teacher will ask you questions whose answers you will not find in the text. You have to read between the lines to get the answers to such questions.

This series presented by Answer Master is going to be of great help, for we provide the brief summary of the original text, followed by major themes. Eventually, there are solved questions that are generally asked during the exams and tests.

Having gone through this question answer book, you will realize that you have got more than you may have expected.

All the best

Lennie does not have any big dreams. Tending soft rabbits on his own farm is his only dream. He keeps dreaming about it. George frequently retells this story of Lennie as the narrative progresses.

Before moving to the present place, they used to work in Weed, but owing to
