ENGLISH QUIZ

1.Do you know another instance where Curly was being a human predator other then when he started bossing his wife around?

Curly was being a human predator when he was messing with Linnei. For no reason at all. Linnie was so nice and curly just kept messing with him. Like when Curly first met Linnie he walked right pass George and started talking to Linnie like he was a boss. The thing about it was that Linnie was way bigger then Curly. Then later on in the novel Curly started fighting Linnie for no reason and Linnie then showed him who the boss was.


2.Could anything in this story have happened in the hood?

I though nothing likes this could happen in the hood until my English teacher starting saying he wanted to make a remake of this novel. And change stuff around and after listening to that I think something like this could happen in the hood. So things would just have to be changed around.



3.What message would you ask of the author of this book?

The message I would send to the author would have to be. What was the reason for writing this book? What did he want the readers to get out of this book? Did he want us to see how people don’t stick together all the time and when they do stick together they hurt other people. What did he want us to get out of this book? Also what made him come up and write this book? What was he thinking about?


4.Was Linnie and Bigger from native son anything a like?

They were very different. Linnie was kind of slow but he was happy the way he was. The littlest things in life was what really matted in life.Linnie never changed the way he acted for any one. He was not scared to be his self. But with bigger he was very confused with his life. He changed the way he acted for certain people and he acted like h e was tougher then he really was. Kind of like Curly.

5.What was the underline theme of this novel?

I think the underline theme of this novel would have to be to see how people are human predators. Every time somebody gets a chance to attack someone they do. Instead of helping someone and just friends they try to hurt the person and break them down.



6.What are some of the problems that the people had with their self in this book?

Well a lot of people in this book have a problem with their self. But the person I’m going to talk about is Curly Wife. Her problem with herself is that she could have been way better then what she is living now. She feels as though she can’t do anything. She can’t even talk to any other males, only Curly. She is very lonely and she just wants to live a better life and be able to have enough freedom to talk to others without Curly saying something.


7.What was some of the motives of the way Curly acted?

Some of the motives that forced Curly to act that way were because he had problems with his self and he felt as though he had to prove his self to everybody. In the novel all he wanted to do was show everybody that he was a boss. Just because he was shorter than the others did not mean anything because he was strong. That’s why he always tried to pick on everybody.



8.What was the turning point of this novel?

I believe that the turning point of the novel was when George shot Linnie in his head. That was the turning point of the novel for me because it was so sad. Everybody that was reading the novel could not believe it. I was in total shock. In a way I think George was doing his self a favor because he did not want anybody to hurt linnie but it was so sad because he had to do it. After all they had been through together.
