Of Mice and Men Reading Expectations

• Download the Of Mice and Men Bookmark and access a copy of Of Mice and Men . You can find a copy online here. Review the Signpost expectations.
• Over the course of the novel, you are required to identify and note 20 signposts and/or annotation-worthy moments. There is a tinyurl link to the Signpost power point for those of you who need a reminder. Annotations due 1 st day of class in 2017.
• You will identify these signposts and/or annotation-worthy moments directly in the text – either by writing in your own book or using sticky notes. You cannot write these on a piece of paper and turn it in for credit.
• In order to earn an “A” on the Annotations, you need to go beyond the surface and obvious in your annotation. This is very similar to what you had to do for your Sunflower Annotations – go more in depth and identify the weight or meaning the section of the text has.

• You can use a homework pass for a 24-hour late full credit turn in. See Mrs. Petersen if you have questions regarding HWPs.

Essay Reminders - Thesis

• The thesis sentence I provided for you is a bit structurally off in the way many of you are using it.
• E.g.: Jenny Downham develops the idea that people don’t live life until death comes knocking through the mood of the book.
• While all the parts here there, the sentence structure is awkward. Try this instead:
• E.g.: Through the repeated development of mood, Jenny Downham develops the idea that people don’t live life until death comes knocking.

Essay Reminders - Embeds

We are also having some difficulty with punctuation in our embedded quotes. Here is a reminder

• With dialogue (usually need a comma):
• E.g.: When Harold’s purple crayon gets lost, he sighs, “I wonder where I put it this time.”
• As part of the sentence (do not capitalize the quoted words):
• E.g.: Harold’s purple crayon gets lost, and he “[wonders] where [he] put it this time.”
• Notice some of the words are in brackets – this is because they were minimally changed to make contextual sense.

Hooray, Hooray, it’s Reading Day!

Book Summary: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

The unforgettable novel of a childhood in a sleepy Southern town and the crisis of conscience that rocked it, To Kill A Mockingbird became both an instant bestseller and a critical success when it was first published in 1960. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was later made into an Academy Award-winning film, also a classic.

Compassionate, dramatic, and deeply moving, To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee takes readers to the roots of human behavior – to innocence and experience, kindness and cruelty, love and hatred, humor and pathos.

Now with over 18 million copies in print and translated into forty languages, this regional story by a young Alabama woman claims universal appeal. Harper Lee always considered her book to be a simple love story. Today it is regarded as a masterpiece of American literature.

Book Review: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

With endless books and infinitely more to be written in the future, it is rare occasion that I take the time to reread a novel. And this time it’s To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, a timeless classic. The first time I read this I was much, much younger and I remember loving it then. Over fifteen years later, it still held so much for me – wonderful language and characters that I never forgot about, profound themes explored , and relevancy even so many years later. Harper Lee is one of the best female authors.

The story in To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is told from the point of view of Scout (Jean-Louise Finch), a six year old girl , through various events that happen in the town of Maycomb and in particular, the court case of Tom Robinson as her father Atticus Finch acts as Tom’s defence lawyer. Tom, a black man who has been accused of raping a young white woman, has to endure multiple racial attacks. Atticus, widely described as the “most enduring fictional image of racial heroism”, describes the events to Scout so that she sees that all people should be treated equally.

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view… Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”

The narrator of this story is young tomboy Jean Louise (Scout), and her observations of Maycomb and people’s behavior are simple, honest, and visually very rich. I had no problem picturing Scout, Jem and Dill’s childish efforts to draw Boo Radley out of his house, or Calpurnia taking the kids to a colored church.

But when, after 128 pages, the court case begins and the plot really becomes intriguing, you immediately feel a rise in tension and excitement. Here Jem and Atticus become the main characters instead of Scout because they are more aware of the risks and importance of the case, although Scout’s moment with the mob was heartwrenchingly beautiful in it’s innocence.

“People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for.”

The last part of the book was less tense but never dull: it was important to show the aftermath and the effects of the case on different class – and races – of people to convey the impact of Atticus’ actions. Because back in 1935 and even now, in our current political situation, standing up for what’s right while the majority is against you, is an incredible brave and difficult thing to do.

One thing especially about this story that stood out to me, are the interesting gender roles in this book. We have Atticus who isn’t only presented as an amazing father but also as a great male character, because he’s patient, courteous, clever…but not traditionally masculine. In contrast with Bob Ewell, the main antagonist, Atticus isn’t physically strong, doesn’t use strong language, and hates violence (example: he keeps his shooting skills a secret from his children).

“The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience.”

His sister, aunt Alexandra, is a very traditional female figure who wants Scout to behave more ‘lady like’, and because Scout doesn’t like her (at first), we as readers dislike her too. Acting as her opposites are Calpurnia and Miss Maudie, who neither show traditional feminine characteristics like politeness and charm, but both are presented as good and right.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is a well-loved book for many good reasons, but I was very surprised by its diverse male and female characters, who make this story even richer than it already is.
