Reply #14: I had a neat experience with OMAM in high school

The teacher had us read up to the point where Lenny kills the girl. We then got into groups and tried to come up with the rest of the story. My group had Lenny sneak up on Curly and brain him with a big rock. George and lenny are caught and sentenced to death. Later, as they are led to the gas chamber, George is thinking about the farm with the rabbits. Kinda poignant, I guess, but Steinbeck did it a lot better.

Good thing we didn't have to do this assignment with The Grapes of Wrath.
