Novel Reaction: Thinking Forward

What topic or theme that we have touched on during this unit has "hit home" with you the most?  Which theme or topic has a personal connection for you?  Which did you find most captivating or interesting to discuss and investigate during this unit?  Select a topic/theme from the list above that peaks your interest, and, in this week's blog response, discuss why you find it fascinating, which moment in the story you think about when reflecting on this theme, and how this theme is relevant in today's world.

           The topic that Really "hits home" with me is the loneliness theme in the novel.  I think it hits home with me the most because how every single person in this story is lonely in their own ways and Steinbeck explains in detail why and how all these characters are lonely, its a,little depressing . but thne you get to see how each character deals with their isolation.

 the most interesting topic to talk about in this unit was  the question "is Steinbeck a racist" I liked talking about that because we would find these things in the book that made Steinbeck seems racist, but then we analyzed  and found what he really meant by using these things. It was like decoding a hidden message it was really fun!

Individual vs. Community,

 I  find this theme the most interesting because  in this chapter you see the farm community band up together to go find and kill Lennie, I thought it was interesting because they could get together and do something terrible but they cant band together for something good and something that can benefit everyone. People still do that in todays society with is sad because it shows how much society did not change but 

I watched the move if you guys want to it here
