Thursday 10/9 and Monday 10/14

Lookout, ranch hands! There may be a quiz a' blowin' in on Tuesday (A) and Wednesday (B). If the boss decides to harvest your knowledge, he might ask ya to know chapters one through three. Ya also might want to be familiar with the vocabulary we've been studyin'.

Thursday/Monday:
Discuss chapters 1-2 study guides.
Chapter three and the study guide for said chapter will be your homework.

Quote to ponder:
  • "I ought to of shot that dog myself, George. I shouldn't ought to of let no stranger shoot my dog." --Candy (Steinbeck 61 [in the hardcover edition])
  • Why does Candy feel this way? Why might this notion be significant for other characters in the novel? Hint: consider the possibility that Candy's dog might be symbolic.
  • 5 pts. Extra Credit for anyone who comes in on Tuesday/Wednesday with a well-thought-out, written answer.
