Of_Mice_And_Men

Of Mice And Men In the early chapters of the novel Of Mice and Men written by John Steinbeck, there are many examples of foreshadowing. Upon the ending of the book, the examples of foreshadowing show why the “American Dream” was not fulfilled by the main characters Lennie and George. In the first chapter, Lennie and George are traveling from the weed to the ranch in which they will be working. An example of foreshadowing starts out from why they were leaving the weed. Lennie, a man of great strength, is quite slow and is unaware of what he is doing. George later explains “Well, he seen this girl in a red dress. Dumb bastard like he is, he wants to touch ever’thing he likes. Just wants to feel it. So he reaches out to feel this red dress an’ the girls lets out a squawk, and that gets Lennie all mixed up, and he hold on ‘cause that’s the only thing he can think to do...so I comes running, an’ by that time Lennie’s so scared all he can think to do is jus’ hold on...He was so scairt he couldn’t let go of that dress. And he’s so God damn strong, you know” (pg. 41). lennie, george, foreshadowing, dog, pg, trouble, out, example, because, wife, men, kill, curley’s, come, carlson, candy, although, things, soon, shows, said, reader, novel, little, gets, weed, wanted, talk, soft, slow, ranch, pet, old, man, lets, lennie’s
