I'd say aim for 5 per paragraph and 4 or 5 paragraphs

I'm not sure thooo cuz my teacher told us they've never done a character question but it could happen. But I feel like it's extremely unlikely cuz macbeth and lady macbeth would be too easy and Macduff and malcolm and stuff would be too hard but I would still prepare something if I were you

i'm doing it but I have no idea what will come up. I'm hoping its George and Lennies relationship.

they haven't asked about characters such as Slim or the significance of animals in the novel recently. For the theme question, they have overused relationships, so I doubt that that will come up. They have not asked about isolation in about 5 years, so that could be a question. However they may ask about some vague theme like farmers

ok so for the character questions, I am betting on either Slim (and possibly how he represents the lower class), or the significance of animals in the novel, because they love that question. for the theme questions, they haven't asked about isolation in about 5 years... they could also ask about more obscure themes such as representation of farmer or something. they have asked a lot on relationships and responsibility, so i doubt that that may come up. they haven't asked about lennie in a while though, so if the paper is an easier one, if bet on lennie.

SUMMARY:
THEME - isolation, farmers in 1930
CHARACTER - lennie, slim, or animals in general
