1.How is section 1 the same/different from
your expectations?
As I wrote in my expectation, the main characters of Of Mice and Men are two poor migrant field workers. They are trying to get jobs in the city. However, I thought it is a story talking about their life, and they were not able to feed their families. In section 1, the story hasn't talked about much yet. It is not a story talking about their life, but more about finding jobs and working experience. And also, the story hasn't mentioned family background of the two main characters yet.
2.What dreams/ambitions do George and Lennie
have?
They got the work cards and bus tickets; they are trying to work on a ranch. they want a stable life that they have enough food and a place to live.

3.Do you think their dreams will be full filled?
Why or why not?
I don't think their dreams will be filled. The life in California back in 1930's was really tough. It was really hard to get a job in the city. There were thousands of people like George and Lennie looking for jobs. George and Lennie haven't show any talents that would help them get jobs yet through section 1; they are not able to get the jobs competing others.

4.Personal reflection on Section 1: likes,
dislikes, characters, setting, plot, dialogue, imagery
There is many imagery in section 1. there is a lot of visual imagery through the whole section. The dialogues between the two characters and their clothing show some of their characteristics. I really like the setting of the story. However, I think the setting of section 1 hasn't clearly tell about the characters' family background yet. The story is kind of starting from the middle of a scene.

I enjoyed reading your posts very interesting responses keep is up! About your first coment I think he isnt talking about the family background until the end of the book, because maybe the anticipation builds up until then so keep reading.I also agree on question 3 in the 1930 it was really hard to find jobs and also even if they did get a job it would be really hard to build up the money to get a new house, they would also get paid very little. Again good job on your blog keep up the good work hoping on reading your next post.
