This is a self-contained study book which aims to lead the student through the section-by-section study of the novel Of Mice and Men within its social, historical and cultural context. It draws out key points, themes and characterization, and then looks at the novel as a structured whole through activities. Activities include taking part in a commission of enquiry investigating the social and economic conditions of the time from which Steinbeck drew his inspiration. The book can be used alone or alongside the Hodder English 4 course book, and offers comprehensive coverage of National Curriculum requirements for the study of literary texts at Key Stage 4. Activities and stimuli in the text help to generate written coursework for GCSE English.

Of Mice and Men

After her Greenwich, Connecticut farmhouse is destroyed, Lidia Raven is shaken, but also thankful that her teenage twins, Carly and Clarisse, are unharmed and that her friend Polly has been kind enough to take them in. Lidia’s already experienced a string of bad luck: her husband left her and the girls for another man, she lost her job in the financial crisis, and now she’s lost her home. She fears more bad news is on its way—and when she discovers a connection between her and Tina Calderara, the pilot who crashed into her home, she’s proven right. In the midst of her troubles, however, she meets Harry Caligan, the FBI Special Agent assigned to her case . . . and with his help, she plunges into the mystery linking her and her family to Calderara.
