Blog 6: Beginning, Of Mice and Men
Compare and contrast the two men who come into the clearing by the river. [pages 2-3] Why do you think Steinbeck introduces the men by describing their physical features, highlighting the fact that one is small and one is huge? What can the reader infer about the two men based on their descriptions?
Steinbeck introduces the men by describing their physical features because he wants the reader to get a visual of what the men look like and what is going on wen the talk. The reader can infer that one is short but is the leader and the big one is the follower and does pretty much what ever the other one tells him to do.

Blog 5: Pandora's Box
The world was lucky in that Pandora did not release "foreboding" from the box Hermes gave her.
1. What was "foreboding"? How would it have changed our society, according to Greek myths?
It would have changed our society because then no evils would be in the world and there would be nothing wrong with the world. It would be perfect and nothing would be wrong because no one would know anything about evil things.
2. Choose another "ill" in the box and write about how the world would be different had Pandora not released it.
If there was another evil it would be seeing death before it happened.
