How has the main character in your book interacted with others? What does this interaction reveal about the character? Use examples from your reading to support your conclusion. Use proper grammar and spelling. From what point of view is your book written? How do you know? Use examples from your reading to support your conclusion. Use proper spelling and grammar.

OpenStudy (photon336):

You mean lenny right?

OpenStudy (hellokitty17):

Lennie Small George Milton

OpenStudy (photon336):

George Milton is a quick-witted man who is Lennie's guardian and best friend. His friendship with Lennie helps sustain his dream of a better future. Lennie Small is A mentally disabled, but physically strong man who travels with George and is his companion. Lennie wishes to live off the land and tend rabbits. His love for soft things conspires against him, mostly because he does not know his own strength, and eventually becomes his undoing.

OpenStudy (hellokitty17):

yup!

OpenStudy (hellokitty17):

Now that we have that can you help me answer those two questions?!

OpenStudy (hellokitty17):

@Missiey @Photon336

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (photon336):

and "The story is told from the point of view of a third-person omniscient narrator, who can access the point of view of any character as required by the narrative".

OpenStudy (hellokitty17):

@Photon336 can you put an example from the story why you think it is third-person omniscient

OpenStudy (photon336):

This is an example "George unslung his bindle and dropped it gently on the bank. "I ain't sure it's good water," he said. "Looks kinda scummy." (ch 1, p. 2) If George was talking to the reader, it would be first person. Instead, he is talking to Lennie. So this is still third person. The use of the third person omniscient means we can see every character equally. We remain objective, and we can only see the characters like we were watching a movie. This distances us from the action, because we only know what characters are thinking based on what they say."

OpenStudy (hellokitty17):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@HelloKitty17 sorry been to long since I read it to help

OpenStudy (punksauce):

I won't be able to give you examples because I don't have the book...

OpenStudy (hellokitty17):

that is alright!

OpenStudy (hellokitty17):

do you remember the book to at least answer the question?

OpenStudy (punksauce):

I mean I am kind of confused on who the main character would be.. I'm pretty sure it would be Lenny though?

OpenStudy (hellokitty17):

it would be George @punksauce

OpenStudy (punksauce):

ah I guess so... He is more serious.. he's lonely and he acts as Lenny's caretaker. I don't really know what else to say about him other than he cares for Lenny even if he doesn't act like it. He's tough??
