Of Mice and Men Vocabulary

".... And sycamores with mottled, white, recumbent limbs.. ," (Steinbeck 1).

Recumbent: Plants that grow close to the ground.

Worms can easily eat the recumbent shrubs since, the shrubs don't grow from a high location so, the worms don't have to crawl their way up but, just glide their way along the floor.

"George sat up. 'Awright,' he said brusquely. 'Gi'me that mouse!'" (Steinbeck 8).

Brusquely: In a manner that is blunt, rough, or abrupt.

The teacher brusquely spoke to the student who was misbehaving in the classroom.
