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.

"Discrimination" has really stuck with me the most. I think its what this book is mainly written about; other than Lennie’s character. And I can relate to this topic because I’m from Egypt so discrimination against color, level of education, religion, nationality, poverty all of kind of things you could think of happens everyday maybe even every hour. People don’t care whether your feeling are getting hurt they just do for pleasure. To make them-selves feel like they are better than you are. Also the powerful vs. the powerless. It happens a lot especially in high school like with the senior maybe against the freshman they think they are more powerful than us. Or, even with working people everyday.
