Character Homework for "Of Mice and Men"

Do all work by Friday please. Write two short paragraphs (50 to 75 words), one on the protagonist and the other on your assigned character.

For the protagonists, George or Lennie, explain one of either character's traits based on his dress, or a gesture or an action.

For your assigned character choose one of the topics below:

Write an interior monologue (what a character might be thinking) during a scene where the character is silent (speaks no dialogue for a period of time).

Give an example of any repeated actions or gestures made by the character and how these help to communicate a trait of character to the viewers.
