  3. A little patch of land.
    Bread on the table.
    A dear friend you can talk to.
    A small house you can call Home.
    Rabbits…

    Such a modest dream. And yet so impossibly out of reach.

    I almost just clicked on Of Mice and Men (1992) with John Malkovich and Gary Sinese.

    I remembered I cannot EVER watch that again.

  18. Which way did he go George, which way did he go?

    "Which way did he go, George?" from the 1940 Tex Avery animated short Of Fox and Hounds spoken by hound Willoughby, parodying the character Lennie from the 1939 film adaptation of John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men.

    Nels Abbey, the director of The Black Writers Guild would like to see the curriculum enhanced with “the excellent work of Black British writers” rightly noting that such works would be attuned to students growing up in modern multicultural Britain, a society quite different from the USA of the Great Depression. Frustratingly, instead of naming any specific works from modern multicultural Britain, he then recommends “The Autobiography of Malcolm X”, the life story of an American born a century ago.

    I know that just over ten years ago the Tory education secretary Michael Gove expressed dissatisfaction with the assignment of “Of Mice and Men” and urged that students be asked to read works by British authors instead. Although I am not entirely unsympathetic to the claim that British students should have to engage with British literature, I also think that Abbey’s point matters; students should be reading at least one significant work by a British author from a racial or ethnic minority. That requirement would not, of course, preclude the reading of works by authors from other parts of the English speaking world.

    But what are those books by minority Britons that are at once valuable and teachable? I’d love to know.

    Choosing an alternative is more difficult than it seems. Most of us can easily come up with books that we wish had been assigned at school, or that we think are of such value that students would benefit in some way from reading them.

    Deciding whether such titles are suitable for assignment to secondary school students is another and more difficult task, one that I am not well qualified to undertake because I am not a high school teacher by profession.

    Nevertheless I would guess that one important consideration is a books’s teachability. What makes a book teachable probably depends not only on the nature of the text itself, but also on the availability to the literature teacher of critical literature and pedagogical materials. I would imagine that “Of Mice and Men” is highly teachable on both counts. The text is short and the language relatively simple, making reading the book a feasible assignment for less academic students, while I am fairly sure there are shelves full of material that will help teachers and students with literary analysis of the work.

    However, considerations of race and gender can also determine readability, as this piece from a teacher in Oregon demonstrates:
