Answer: Giovanni reflects on her childhood in her grandparents' home city of Knoxville, Tennessee in the late '50s. She remembers their habits, including a lack of television during the day and cozy nights spent listening to jazz greats singing on the radio. She centers her happy memories of childhood on the Lawson McGhee Library in Knoxville and its kindly librarian, Mrs. Long. Giovanni tells us that people like Mrs. Long and her grandmother made her world in Knoxville, Tennessee a happy and safe place, despite the social inequalities that made the South a generally inhospitable place for black families. She ends the poem by saying that this love opened up the world in a positive way for her, preparing her for all the changes that were to happen in her life and in American society.

Hello officer what have I done to be pulled over
What’s the question? I read that book too, I can help.
Answer:
see explanation
Explanation:
a) Based on the posters, the viewer can gather that the novel is set in farmland because of the haybales and the two men walking through a farming field. Furthermore, the clothing the characters are wearing tells us that not only is the plot set on a farm but that it is set in an earlier time period as seen in the more modest clothing and dress typical to a 1930's American wear.
b) I do not believe the quote stated on the poster depicting Curley's wife talking is effective in portraying the overall theme and storyline of the book. Curley's wife is a character who's prescene entirely centers around male ideals- she is seen as a sex object for many of the men on the farm- and is disregarded in the plot. This poster referencing her gives the reader the idea that she has some power in the novel and that she is an important character. The second poster gives little information to the reader, however by diving deeper into its details, as explained in question (a), we can draw conclusions from it such as where and when the plot is taking place.
c) The film poster is vague and first seeing it makes me think that the book is only discussing farm life in the 1930s whereas the actual plot is about loyalty, friendship, and doing what is right. The film poster leaves much up to the viewer without drawing them into the plot or the characters and therefore I do not think the film poster is effective in making me want to read or watch the film <em>Of Mice and Men</em>.
