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 solve this, we analyze each option:

• Symbolism: Steinbeck uses symbols (e.g., the farm dream, Lennie's puppy) to develop character motivations and themes, which ties to character development.
• Rhyme scheme: "Of Mice and Men" is a novel (prose), not poetry, so rhyme scheme (a poetic device) is irrelevant.
• Foreshadowing: Events like Lennie's love for soft things foreshadow his actions and tragic end, developing his character and plot.
• Onomatopoeia: This is a sound - imitating device, not used for character development in this novel.
• Metric structure: Also a poetic device, not applicable to this prose work.

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

Answer:

A. Symbolism, C. Foreshadowing
