Of Mice and Men pg. 31-60; 8/29-10

In the first part of this section, on page 32, I found it funny when Lennie kept saying that Curley’s wife was ‘purty’. It seems as though he has a crush on her. At the end of chapter two, George wanted to get Lennie one of the puppies that Slim has. I think that would be fantastic because it would be nice for Lennie to have another companion other than George. He has always wanted a dog to love and pet, so I am hoping he will get a puppy. Later when Lennie gets a puppy, he tries to hide it from George by putting it under his shirt. I found that really funny and it reminded me of something a young child would do.
One part that caught my attention was on page 40 where George and Slim were talking. I thought it was really cruel that George did those things to Lennie when he knew Lennie wouldn’t understand or know he was being tricked the whole time. I did think it was nice of George though to tell Slim that story though, as if he is trying to tell Slim to not do the same thing to Lennie. I was surprised when George also told Slim about what happened with Lennie back in Weed. I didn’t think George would trust Slim enough to tell him a story that can get them into trouble again.
On page 54-55, I started to wonder why Slim didn’t want Lennie to pet the puppies because I personally don’t think Lennie would hurt them. On pages 56-57, Lennie and George are still talking about farming and having their own land. Will they ever accomplish this? I was asking myself this question in the first section and I am still questioning it at the end of this one.
