Think back to the article we read in class today ("The Nazi in the 7th Grade") as well as Chapter 4 in
Of Mice and Men. Have a discussion we each other using the blog in which you respond to some or all of the questions below:
•What is a stereotype, and where do stereotypes originate?
•Many people think that we’re all somewhat racist, deep down. Do you agree? Do you think people hold onto their stereotypes?
•All the men on the ranch in
Of Mice and Men would be considered “working class” or even “low class.” What stereotypes do they have of Crooks, and why do you think they hold onto their stereotypes of Crooks?
Remember to proofread before you post, and be sure to comment on others' posts. Enjoy!
