Using one of the attached poems write a five paragraph essay comparing and contrasting the words of the poem with one of the characters in Of Mice and Men. You will want to write an introductory paragraph describing why the entire poem fits a specific character. (Think if this as though a character actually wrote one of the poems and why.) Then choose three different parts of the poem for your three body paragraphs. Feel free to also use direct passages from the novel in your body paragraphs as well as your intro and conclusion! Then for the conclusion paragraph sum it all up!
