Beliefs before Reading Of Mice & Men

Referring to the seven statements on the OMAM Anticipation Guide, choose the ONE about which you have the strongest opinion (agree OR disagree). Post it as a comment this blog and tell why.

1.People who are poor should rely on their friends, family, or church for help, not the government.

2.A true friend will tell you the truth even when you don’t want to hear it.

3.The “n-word” is more offensive than other racial slurs because of the history of hate behind it.

4.Women today are more often treated by men as objects rather than equals.

5.When people are a victim of a crime, they should be able to take the law into their own hands.

6.The best place for justice to be determined is in a court of law.

7.Sometimes a person has to break the law to make sure justice is served.


After we finish reading John Steinbeck´s Of Mice and Men, we will look at each of your responses and see if any of your opinions have changed (or lessened in their degree).
