Lennie’s brief conversation with Crooks shows how although he is crippled he is also smart and reveals different characters view on blacks.

One Belligerent Room There are few examples of group dynamics as complete and realistic as the film "Twelve Angry Men". Recently I was required to view this film and had at first great reservations about its value as an educational tool‚ but soon after the opening credits rolled by and the deliberations began to take place I was caught up in the story. This film was not only entertaining‚ but it also serves as a great example of many of the theories and aspects of social psychology. Including

Steinbeck presents Candy as a vulnerable character. He does this by referencing him as an “old man” before citing his name‚ using pre-modification; so that the reader instantly knows not only his physical state but maybe that metaphorically he is a weak person. He is also shown to be desperate throughout the opening of chapter 2‚ where he tries to make friends with George and Lennie as soon as he meets them. He gossips about other people on the ranch and makes sure George “won’t tell Curley nothing”

Nearly every scene in which Lennie appears confirms these and only these characteristics.

I find using individual short scenes to be the best approach – time to show and discuss within one class period. I have chosen what I consider to be five key scenes that illustrate the theme effectively – even to do three of them would provide a week’s work. In
