Service learning: May 12- May 16

1. What I learned about our group topic which is starting the school store, I learned where the store is located in
the school. It is in the basement where the lunch room is. What I have learned about my self is that I don't think I would want to
work in the school store because the room is about the size of a closet. If I were in charge of this group, I would I pick a better room if I could. I know that room has a label saying "school store" but it is to small.

2. For Thursday's meeting I think we should start cleaning out the room for the store. Right now there are a bunch of tables and stuff.
We also need to contact places like BJs for stuff to sale in the store.
Finally I think we should get shelves, and mini table for the store as well.

3. Things I found:
One person in my group discussed how they finish writing the letter to Gilder Lerman for money.
Juliene wrote about how the meeting with Dr. Davidson went about having the store.
Tabitha discussed said the same thing as me.

Test Questions.

1. What was the problem with Curley? Why was he so arrogant?

The problem with Curley is that he is the shortest on the ranch. He is so arrogant because, he feels self conscious. He want the bigger men to fear him, and make them think he is better then them. Just because they are bigger.


2. What was the turning point in the game plan of George, Lennie, and Candy's Farm?
The Turning point in the game plan of George, Lennie, and Candy's Farm, was when Lennie killed Candy's wife. Lennie and George would have had to run away again and start over leaving Candy behind if George never killed Lennie.


3. What questions would you ask of Candy about his old dog after it died?
The questions that I would ask of Candy about his dog after it died would be:
1.

Symbols in Of Mice and Men

There are symbols just about every where you go. On bathrooms, restaurants, schools, and even books.
Just like in the book "Mice and Men". The symbols in the book are not seen visually like most symbols. They are things ,or places that represent as a symbol of meaning. Three symbols in "Mice and Men", that I recognized is the Farm, Lenny's puppy, and Candy's dog.


Now, Everyone has a dream that they wish to come true. In "Mice and Men", Lennie, George, and Candy had a dream to own their own farm one day. The dream farm is a symbol. Its a symbol of peace, and, success. To have their own farm meant that they would not have to deal with anyone else but them selves. They would be at peace in there own little harmony. Success would come from the ideal of being on their own. Being able to work for themselves, and not anybody else.


The next symbol I recognized is Lenny's puppy. In the book the character Lenny favors puppies. When he learns that his co-workers dog gave birth to puppies, he immediately wanted one. Now, Lennie is a very strong, but mentally challenged. So, he has a record of not being careful with little fragile things: mice and puppies. Fortunately, for Lennie he was given a second chance and received a puppy. This Puppy is a symbol of hope, and opportunity. Lennie now has the chance to have a puppy for a long time with out harming it. Lennie now has the opportunity and hope to prove that he can have something with out destroying it.


Also, I recognized that another pet in the book "Mice and Men" is a symbol. Old man Candy's dog is a symbol. The dog is old, and helpless. He looked as if he was going to fall out and die any minute. The men that knew Candy and his dog, figured that they should take the dog out of his misery. Candy being old his self, hesitated about this. But, eventually considered it. Candy's dog represents death and, the sadness of being useless. Because, since the dog was useless they killed him.


After I finished reading "Mice and Men", I learned that there not just symbols in bathrooms, restaurants, and school, but also in books. Books do not have visual symbols, but things or places that represent as a symbol with meaning. Three symbols that i recognized where the Farm that represent peace, and success. Lenny's puppy, which represents hope, and opportunity, and Candy's dog represent death, and uselessness. Now, that I have this knowledge I will look for symbols like these in every book I read.
