Again, you can email it to me or bring it in to class on Tuesday/Wednesday (10/21,22)
What's the deal with the water snake that appears in chapter 1 (Steinbeck 7) and again in Chapter 6 (99)? Why would Steinbeck chose this imagery to begin and end the book? What is the significance of the heron that comes down and snatches the little snake at the end of the book? What (or who) do you think these animals could represent, symbolically? Read the passages and give it a shot. 5 points for a well-reasoned answer.
