Deze slide heeft geen instructies

The story of the farm and Lennie and George’s dream is repeated once again. What point do you think he is making about the American Dream?
The story of the farm is often told to comfort Lennie when he is feeling scared. 
It is meant to give him hope, and that is why George tells him the story before he shoots him. 

"Look acrost the river, Lennie, an' I'll tell you so you can almost see it." In the end the dream is a fantasy, meant for comforting and hope – it doesn’t come true.

Explain how the following aspects of the novel have foreshadowed the final tragedy of
Lennie’s death: The incident between Lennie and the girl in the red dress.

Slide 8 - Open vraag

This incident showed that Lennie has had to run before, because he could not control himself. Causing other people to go after him to punish him. The only difference with the end of the story is that the girl in the red dress did not die. 
Explain how the following aspects of the novel have foreshadowed the final tragedy of
Lennie’s death: The symbolism of Candy’s dog.

Slide 9 - Open vraag

The dog symbolised that sometimes it is better to pull the trigger yourself, so you know that they won’t suffer more than necessary, which is exactly what George did. 
What drove George to believe he had to kill Lennie?

Slide 10 - Open vraag

What drove George to believe he had to kill Lennie?
He knows that the other men are close and on their way to kill Lennie and he feels it is his duty to make it as painless as possiblebecause they care about each other. 

"An' I got you. We got each other, that's what, that gives a hoot in hell about us," Lennie cried in triumph.” 

This way he can at least make sure that Lennie isn’t scared, but happy.
