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).

  1. I agree with number 7. I think human can never be perfect, and therefore the law can't always be perfect. If it isn't a terrible crime, that obviously shouldn't be commited, I think it can often be a case of individual assessment.

  4. I agree with statement number 7. Sometimes the world can seem unfair. If justice isn't served and it affects many people you sometimes have to break the law so justice is served to the majority.

  5. I agree with statement two. The truth isn't always nice to hear but necessary to know.
