Another activity that we are going to do before we begin reading the book is to find information about the author: John Steinbeck. As a matter of fact, good readers indeed find information about the authors to see how their background, ideas, and opinions are reflected in their work.
So, what can you tell me about the author of the book? Where was he born? What was his background? What connections do you see about his life and knowledge and "Mice and Men"?
Let's see what your findings are.
John Steinbeck was an important american writer. He was half Irish and half German. He was also familiar with migrants. In 1937, he wrote the book Mice and Man. In 1939, he also wrote the Grapes of wrath.In my opinion, i think He is one of the best writer in America because his stories are very real.
