Praised but Controversial: John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men


ID : 2007   

« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Are you willing to travel with George and Lennie on their hopeful, heart-felt, and innocently tragic journey? Of Mice and Men is only 107 pages long but deftly covers sensitive topics that will stir something inside of you. We’ll explore the themes of racism, sexism, people with disabilities, male friendships/relationships, loneliness, and the fragility of dreams. Together, let’s respectfully talk about themes which resonate today despite being set during the Great Depression.

Note: In the fourth class we’ll be watching the movie and the class will run until 11:30 AM.
