Question

which literary techniques does steinbeck use to develop the characters in of mice and men? (select the two correct answers.) (1 point) symbolism rhyme scheme foreshadowing onomatopoeia metric structure

Explanation:

To determine the correct answers, we analyze each option:

• Symbolism: Steinbeck uses symbols (e.g., the rabbits, Lennie’s puppy) to develop character traits and themes related to the characters.
• Rhyme scheme: This is a poetic device, not used in the prose of Of Mice and Men.
• Foreshadowing: Events (e.g., Lennie’s love for soft things, the death of Candy’s dog) foreshadow later character actions and fates, aiding character development.
• Onomatopoeia: This focuses on sound - imitating words, not character development.
• Metric structure: Related to poetry (rhythm/metrical patterns), irrelevant to this prose work.

So the two correct techniques for character development are Symbolism and Foreshadowing.

Answer:

A. Symbolism, C. Foreshadowing
