Next watch Great Books: The Grapes of Wrath that we also began on Wednesday and take notes on Steinbeck and his famous novel The Grapes of Wrath. This will give you a good background on the author and the time period as we begin a unit on his Of Mice and Men.
Burns, Milton, and Steinbeck have all looked at how relationships can literally transform our lives and surroundings. The main symbol of that relationship in each piece has been the growing and sharing of food and housing. Why is that such a key aspect in these stories? If this is a standard archetype, is that backed up by psychology? Oh wait... is seems to be. :)

Steinbeck is a master of symbol and allusion. Aside from "To a Mouse" by Robert Burns, the other backbone of Of Mice and Men is Milton's Paradise Lost which he alludes to with his main character George Milton. Paradise Lost is a difficult work, so we will be working with a soundtrack (abridged) version! Have songs that relate to a someone who feels betrayed and is off to destroy something? Feel free to share. :) My soundtrack-- was made by students! :) Paradise Lost -Book 1
