Bloom's Taxonomy.

1. Could this have happened in today's world?
yes. there are many people that go through different obstacles in order to achieve something like botyh George and Lennie did.

2.What was the problem with Curley and Lennie?
Curley felt as though he could pick on Lennie just, because he was "Retarded", but what Curley didn't know is that Lennie is very strong and wasn' that dumb.

3.How is Lennie similar to Bigger off of "Native Son"?
Society sees them both as a threat. One is picked on, because of their retardness while the other is picked on, because of their race. Both are seen as dangerous people.

4.Which events could have happened if Lennie never killed Curley's wife?
Probably George and Lennie would have accomplished their American dream and would be living with bot Candy and Crooks.

5.Do you know another instance where a male is killed for killing a female?
yes, in the book "Native Son" Bigger is killed for killing Mary Dalton.

6. What was the turning point in "Of Mice and Men"?
I would say when candy's dog got shot, because that revealed that something else bad was going to happen.

7. What do you see as other possible outcomes for "Of Mice and Men"
George could have let Lennie live and they both could have run off to another ranch to work at like they did before.

8. What are some of the problems of being black at this ranch?
Like Crooks, you would get excluded from every possible activity or outgoing from the other guys. You wouldn't be acknowledged as one of them.

9.What was the underlying theme of this book?
I would say brotherhood, because the men in this book come together and form some sort of male friendship, like George and Lennie have.

10. What questions would you ask of Curley?

why are you the way you are? and What made you want to fight Lennie when he did nothing to you?
