Due: Monday, October 26th Prompt: Author John Steinbeck often uses animal imagery when discussing/describing Lennie. Why do
you think Steinbeck chose to use these images? What point was he trying to make to the reader about
this character and, to a larger extent, about the working class people of the time? Examine Steinbeck's
use of these images and explain your reasoning about how these images connect to Steinbeck's larger
point.
