PEE Structure Recap


How does Curley’s wife present herself?



Curley’s wife presents herself as a ‘tart’ in the eyes of George and the other men.  When George and Lennie first meet her Lennie looks at her body, ‘Lennie’s eyes moved down over her body’.  The use of the word ‘body’ makes her seem a bit like an object or piece of meat, which she is not, but unfortunately this is the impression she creates because of the way she presents herself with ‘rouged lips’ and ‘red’ finger nails.  She dresses herself up as a sex object and so arguably deserve to be thought of as a ‘tart’.

  1. That's good, certainly but i find that you could try using pearl.
    Point: The thing you are trying to say about the subject.
    Evidence: A quote to quote in order to reinforce your point.
    Analyse: Reading in between the lines to put further detail into you original point and to back it up.
    Response: How the reader would react to the quote that you have recently said earlier on into your paragraph.
    Link: Finally, get another quote that is in the book that supports you're evidence and point. You could also use this to link one paragraph to the other.
