Of Mice and Men


The uniqueness of these study exercises is that they are continual with the text; by which I mean, students are continually exercised AT THE SAME TIME as they read the text - a "study-as you-read" learning process.
These exercises deal with understanding the fine nuances of the thoughts, feelings, interactions of the author's characters, as well
as the symbols, images, and moods that enhance the narration.
These exercises delve below the surface of the story and style to the
interpretation of the author's
underlying meaning.
