Please read pages 1-37 in Of Mice and Men. As you read, focus on how Geroge and Lennie, the two main characters, are described. Notice the adjectives, along with the metaphors and similes the writer uses to give you a sense of who they are.
For your writing assignment, write a paragraph or two describing the men's relationship. For instance, In Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck, clearly wants to suggest that Lennie controls George's behavior down to the smallest action or comment. His leadership is revealed in the way Steinbeck describes him as "powerful", "overbearing," and "determined. "It's also clear from the metaphors the author uses to describe Lennie. At one point, Steinbeck writes that Lennie is "a massive wall of a man who makes resistance impossible." That description suggests that George has no choice but to follow him because he can't go through or get around him....
Now, none of the above is true. But I wanted you to have a sense of how to go about completing the writing assignment.
