In the beginning of this section, Candy was listening to George and Lennie tell him about their plan to live off the fat of the land. My prediction is that Candy will try to join in on this plan. I don’t think they should’ve told Candy about their plan either. They haven’t known him for very long, so I wouldn’t trust him enough to tell him that.
A part in the book that I found interesting and surprising was when Curley started to fight Lennie. Lennie did nothing to Curley, but yet Curley started throwing punches at him. In my opinion, Curley deserved to have his hand broken. He seemed really cocky while fighting Lennie, so maybe this was a good learning experience for him.
I thought it was sad on page 74 when Crooks was talking to Lennie and basically implied that they will never live off the fat of the land. He said everyone has a dream to own a piece of land and nobody has ever accomplished it. Lennie didn’t understand, though. Later, we read that Lennie killed one of the puppies. I had a feeling that would happen. As it says on page 85, “I didn’t bounce you hard.” I knew he wouldn’t kill a puppy on purpose, but since he doesn’t know how to care for them I thought he might accidently kill one. Do you think he will still get to tend the rabbits if George finds out?
At the end of my section, Curley’s wife and Lennie are having a conversation. Will romance spark between the two of them?
molly i agree with you on how Curley beats up lennie just becuase he was there at the wrong time. I think curley needs to grow up a litle, but i dont think he will beat Lennie up again.
ReplyDeleteMolly, I don't think that romance will spark between them just because I don't think Lennie has that kind of confidence in himself. I think maybe something will happen like what happened in Weed.But I do agree with you that Curley deserved to have his hand broken, he had no right to start punching Lennie without reason.
