Due - Friday 16th October
Write a couple of paragraphs answering the question: What is your first impression of Curley's Wife?
You should use the quotations you have from the lesson to help you write PEE paragraphs.
Use this example about Curley to help you.
The first impression that we get of Curley is that he is an unfriendly and even aggressive man. He is described as glancing "coldly" at George, which suggests that he has no warm feelings towards the new men, and is being very unwelcoming. He is not even prepared to give them a chance - his reaction is immediately unfriendly. We also get the impression that he is quick to pick a fight, and is always ready to defend himself. As he looks at George, his arms gradually bend up and "his hands closed into fists". This suggests that his body is used to springing straight into a position where he is ready to fight; perhaps he has done this so often it is an unconscious reaction.
