1. Knowledge- select one character from the novel “Of Mice and Men” who has the qualities of a heroine/hero. List the qualities and tell why you think they are heroic.
From the novel Of Mice and Men, I choose George as the character that has a quality of heroine. Its all because he’s a brave man and responsible with his friend, called Lennie. Lennie is an disabled man, he also have a mental disorder problem. George always protect him, save him from danger, although sometimes George got angry with Lennie. But george really love Lennie as a friend.

2. Comprehension- CONSTRUCT a time line that. summarises what happens in the story “Of Mice and Men”.

1. George and Lennie travel and work together for years. Their last job was in a town called weed
2. George and Lennie are trying to escape
3. They run as far as they could, finally they arrived in a farm place
4. They meet Curley, Curley’s wife, Crooks, Slim, Boss, etc.
5. They are trying to survive their life
6. They got some problems (Lennie kills Curley’s wife, George kills Lennie)


3. Application- THINK of a situation that occurred to a character in the story “Of Mice and Men” and write about how you would have handled the situation differently.
The situation that I’ve chosen about is the scene where Lennie and George are run away. It appears in the first scene of the movie. If I were George, I think I wouldn’t be that brave like what George did. Because George is Lennie’s saviour. He really quick and strong. So, they could escape together. Maybe, I will just sacrifice myself to the people who are attacking me and Lennie.
