Part 1:

1. There are examples of symbolism, foreshadowing, AND irony within just this first section! Identify one of these and explain. It is very Ironic that Lennie, the tall, broad shoulder man, is not the leader. Usually in movies the tall and strong man is the one who is the Leader. Instead he acts like a child. While George, the small, short, and quick man is the leader. This is Ironic because normally in books there is a tall and string leader and protagonist. In this book, the two protagonists are either tall, strong, and not that smart, or short quick, and smart.
