Is it good or bad? What dream are George and Lennie working toward? Why do you think it is so important to them? Why do George and Lennie feel so lucky to have one another? What kind of life did a ranch hand usually have? When George said that he and Lennie travelled together and Curley answered, "Oh, so it is that way? Why does George say that Curley should watch out if he gets into a fight with Lennie?
Did it turn out to be a valid warning? What does it mean when the workers say that Curley's wife has "the eye" 26? Why do you think that she has "the eye" after only being married for a few weeks? Why do you think that many men did not travel around together like Lennie and George in the story? Did it take Lennie needing protection to create such a close friendship? It is Saturday night, and Crooks is alone in his room when Lennie appears in the door. At first Crooks sends Lennie away, but eventually a conversation ensues in which Lennie says he came into the barn to see his pups, and Crooks warns Lennie that he is taking the pups from the nest too much.
Lennie's disarming smile finally warms Crooks, and he lets Lennie stay and talk. During their conversation, Lennie reveals the secret about the farm, which Crooks initially thinks Lennie is making up. Crooks also prods Lennie about his relationship with George and scares Lennie by suggesting that George might not come back. The more Crooks presses Lennie, the more Lennie becomes scared and upset. As Lennie circles dangerously close to Crooks, Crooks realizes the danger he is in and gently calms Lennie down, explaining that George is not hurt and that he was just "supposin'.
Candy appears and talks with Lennie about the rabbits. Crooks interrupts and says they are kidding themselves about this farm because George is in town spending their money at a whorehouse. Exclaiming that the money is actually in the bank, Candy describes their farm where "couldn't nobody throw him off of it. Curley 's wife appears in the doorway, claiming that she is looking for Curley and complaining that she just wants someone to talk to.
When the men tell her she shouldn't be around them she becomes angry and, referring to Curley, says,. You all seen him. She also doesn't mean the word "swell. While she's talking to the men, she questions Lennie about the bruises on his face. She is curious because Curley has his arm in a sling. Lennie, embarrassed and afraid to admit what happened, is silent as Candy tells her,. The machine in question was not a machine at all, but Lennie, who crushed Curley's hand in the bunkhouse fight.
The men are trying to keep the fight a secret so that George and Lennie won't get "canned" from the ranch. Post a Comment. No comments:. Newer Post Older Post Home. Subscribe to: Post Comments Atom.
