  1. Lit Terms Of Mice and men

  2. Foreshadow • literary device in which an author indistinctly suggests certain plot developments that will come later in the story. • The death of an animal often foreshadows the death of someone else in a story. • The death of Candy’s dog foreshadows what?

  3.  Allusion • a reference in a literary work to a person, place, or thing in history or another work of literature • The title comes from the poem “To a Mouse” by Robert Burns • "To a Mouse" reading

  4. Theme • a common thread or repeated idea • incorporated throughout a literary work. • a thought or idea that may be deep, difficult to understand, or even moralistic. • Generally has to be extracted as the reader explores the passages of a work. • Themes from the story include: Loneliness, Dreams, and Friendship

  5. Allegory • a narrative that serves as an extended metaphor • The Ranch is meant to be a representation of the society of the 1930’s

  6. Imagery • involves one or more of your five senses (hearing, taste, touch, smell, sight) • uses a word or phrase to stimulate your memory of those senses. • The opening scene of the novella uses sensory imagery to make the setting realistic.

  7. Idiom • an expression consisting of a combination of words that has a figurativemeaning • “Live off the fatta the lan’.” • “Bustin a gut” • “Get the can” • “Take the rap” • “Make it stick”

  8. Metaphor • Comparison between to different things with no word of comparison uses (like; as). • The one thing (Lennie’s hand) figuratively becomes the other (a big paw) • An example from the story (that also qualifies as animal imagery) is “Lennie dabbled his big paw in the water.”

  9. Internal Conflict • an natural incompatibility between the two or more characters or forces • With "man against self" conflict, the struggle is internal.

  10. Internal conflict • Candy is troubled by a decision he makes in the book and he later feels that he made the wrong decision. • George struggles between wanting to help Lennie and wanting a life all his own.

  11. Personification • The author gives human characteristics to inanimate objects. • An example from the story: “Then gradually time awakened again and moved sluggishly on.”

  12. Direct Characterization • When the author describes Candy’s wife by saying she had “full, rouged lips and wide-spaced eyes”, he uses direct characterization

  13. Indirect Characterization • Even though the author never says it, you can tell that George is a determined man by the choices he makes.
