Select a topic/theme from the list above that peaks your interest, and, in this week's blog response, discuss why you find it fascinating, which moment in the story you think about when reflecting on this theme, and how this theme is relevant in today's world.
The topic that touched me the most is racism. I also had a personal connection with The American Dream. The most interesting was the human beast and naturalism. The reason is because it relates to your animal instincts and very interesting to me to talk about this topic. The moment at the pond where Lennie was drinking like a bear relates to this theme so many ways. It is relevant to today's world because if you look in society everyone acts like animals. For example a business man being ruthless to close a deal or someone killing innocent people for no reason. Last time I checked that's what animals do.
