Any good detective looks for clues or hints to solve a case. As readers, we act like detectives to put clues together and find out what really happened. Foreshadowing is similar to this because it gives us clues to see what will occur in a future event. In Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck uses foreshadowing very often to tell us what could possibly happen.

The two men set out find a job for money but along the way, many obstacles are thrown at them, and some of them they ca

Foreshadowing is used throughout the novel Of Mice and Men to predict how and what happens to Lennie at the end of the novel. The first piece of foreshadowing that happens in the novel is when George tells Lennie to comeback to where they camped out, in the beginning the book, if Lennie gets into any trouble. This is the place where George kills Lennie because he killed Curley's wife. The next piece of foreshadowing used in this novel is when when George is talking to Slim about what happened in Weed and about Lennie. George tells Slim how when the girl in the dress started yelling at Lennie he got scared, this shows up when Curley's wife yells at Lennie about messing up her hair, he holds on to her hair and then kills her.

In the novel “ Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck, is a fiction book that lets the readers know about two ranch hands who go together everywhere and they end up coming to a ranch to earn money for the dream they have to own some acres but they ended up having to go through some hard times which made it to never happen.

Have you ever read Of Mice and Men? Were you aware of the heavy foreshadowing in it? By the time you finish reading this, you will. Of Mice and Men is about two migrant workers, named George and Lennie. In three days, multiple major events occur. They make plans to get their own ranch with the old man, named Candy. Unfortunately, their plans go askew when Lennie accidentally kills Curley’s wife. The whole book, including the title, foreshadows the big ending of the book. It’s quite intricate how Steinbeck works this foreshadowing throughout the book. You might have missed some of this information on your first read because some of it even relates to events outside of the book.

It is not as hard to figure out as in Walk Two Moons. The story of Walk Two Moons is about a girl going to her mother's grave and telling her grandparents about her life on the way there. Here the foreshadowing is not evident until the end of the book, she mentions her mother as if she is still alive and the author mentions her mother going to Idaho by bus, but not the crash, and that the main character's father like Mrs. Cadaver, but she does not mention how main character's mother sat in the seat next to Mrs. Cadaver, and that the father uses her as a connection to the past. Of Mice and Men, on the other hand, uses foreshadowing in many instances. The many remarks about what happened in Weed, how Lennie kills mice and dogs earlier in the book, Curly constantly picking fights with Lennie, and George telling him to “hide in the brush” many times, and Lennie saying the ranch is a bad place shows how he could possibly kill something more intelligent, a human, and that how he will most likely have to “hide in the brush” eventually, if you follow Georges thinking. These instances should make it clear that Lennie will eventually mess up again and have to hide in the brush. The reactions of Curly to Lennie killing his wife is also foreseeable, Curly dislikes Lennie and most probably uses this as an excuse to get rid of him, even though is probably angry too. Using these scenarios, if the reader pays attention to

Many writers use foreshadowing to give readers a hint of what is going to happen later on in the book, and it helps make a connection between two characters. In John Steinbeck’s, Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck makes connections between Candy and his dog to George and Lennie, when he puts Candy and George in very stressful situations. Candy is an older, disabled man that works at the ranch and his dog is very old and is not in good health and the rest of them men pressure him into killing his dog. George is a hard worker that cares for Lennie, Lennie has a mental illness so he wouldn’t care for himself, but is very strong, big, and is very efficient. Curley is the Boss’ son and is very short and doesn’t like taller guys so he takes every chance he gets to intimidate Lennie. Steinbeck uses foreshadowing between Candy’s dog and Lennie to help the reader make connections between the two and how they are alike and unalike.
