LISA:
I felt like I didn't really get what Of Mice and Men was
trying to say. It seemed like it was just a really bleak book
in which nobody went unpunished, even the innocent.
George is never going to get his farm or see a baseball
game.
DOMINIC:
Right. The character of Lennie, especially, seems totally
innocent. He clearly isn't very smart, but he has a childlike
innocence about him. Look at the way he is so touched by
the rabbits. That's something pretty out of character for an
ordinary adult.
JAQUI:
Are you arguing that Lennie really is innocent? He commits
a crime. I think that makes him pretty uninnocent. On what
basis could he be considered innocent?
DOMINIC:
But he's not really capable of understanding what he's
doing. And he dies in the end. Maybe in Steinbeck's world,
the innocent have to die to show the reader how cruel the
world can be
MANUEL:
Maybe it's possible that there are some people who really
are so innocent they don't know what they're doing. Maybe
it's not fair for society to hold them responsible for their
crimes. I think Lennie would fall into that category, wouldn't
he?
Which student is most clearly asking a clarifying question in this
discussion?
