Of Mice Chapter 3
Hopefully my pattern for this book won’t get too repetitive to be effective, but for chapter three I’d like you to continue picking out important passages and commenting on them. I think it helps us keep our conversations rooted in the text, as well as give you essentially an endless source of writing prompts. In addition to your work with the quotes, though, I’m going to add an element that considers the questions you are developing as you read.
The assignment, then, is to write 300 words about the text, quoting the book three times to spur you onward.
After you address your quotes, I’d like you to direct some of your thinking towards questions you may have at this point. Consider the themes that are developing and ask at least two big-picture, discussion starting questions. Explain why you think these questions are worth asking. These are part of your 300 words.
