Section 4:

1) symbolism -- red symbolizes DANGER of Curley's Wife/Candy's dog symbolizes old age and its harsh ending

2) foreshadowing-- Dog's death may foreshadow other deaths coming up/

3) tension in a scene--how it is done: character (Candy) is silent and staring gat ceiling; suspense goes on for 2 + pages before dog is shot lots of silence in the bunkhouse -- card shuffling can be heard, etc.
