Controlled Assessment
Remember that your controlled assessment will be on Monday. You must be prepared with your plan for P5. If you have any issues with the planning or prep, leave a comment on this post.
Candy - relieved the loneliness through his relationship with the dog (not human companionship)
Crooks - lonely through discrimination as well as being a ranch worker
Consider the reaction of the boss who thinks that George must be getting something out of the relationship with Lennie and what this says about the times.
rajith miss, how many paragraph should be add into our controled assement? could we add other charactors to find out the relantionship with geroge and lennie.
There are no rules about how many paragraphs you should write. An introduction, 6 main paragraphs and a conclusion would be about right.
It is important to write about the other ranch workers in order to explain how George and Lennie's relationship challenges the idea of the lonely ranch worker.
rajith do I need to start new paragraph for each quotation? or, could I write more than one quation in one paragraphs? I look forward to hearing from you thank you
You need to start a new paragraph for each point you make but not for each quotation. You should be aiming for more than one quotation in each paragraph.
i don't quite understand the question and i cant link it properly to the paragraphs that i'm doing it really is confusing me!
ReplyDeleteHi Sach,
DeleteThe question asks how far does the relationship between George and Lennie challenge the idea of the lonely itinerant worker.
The first question you need to ask yourself is does their relationship challenge the stereotype?
If yes, how does it? Compare George and Lennie's feelings about each other to how characters such as Carlson, Candy and Crooks feel:
Carlson - stereotypical itinerant worker/no empathy
Candy - relieved the loneliness through his relationship with the dog (not human companionship)
Crooks - lonely through discrimination as well as being a ranch worker
Consider the reaction of the boss who thinks that George must be getting something out of the relationship with Lennie and what this says about the times.
Hope this helps.

thankyou,i'm going to carry on with the draft should i compare the relationship straight away?
DeleteYes because then you are answering the question straight away. All of your paragraphs should be focused on answering the question.

DeleteI understand you miss,so we could use other charactors to challenge their relangionship
Yes but remember that you are using George and Lennie's relationship to challenge the idea of the typical lonely ranch worker.
