Of Mice and Men pg.26-50, 8/29/10

Lennie and George were getting settled in to their new bunk house and were both ready to start their new jobs. Lennie was still quiet becuase George was all about first impressions with the boss. When the boss's son comes into visit George and Lennie, him and george " at first glance" did not agree with each other. Curley " the boss's son" does not like people who are larger than him. He's just jealous becuase he wants to be a big guy. While George and Curley are talking George is talking for Lennie. He's saying Lennie is a good fighter and Lennie is a good worker. George George should just shut his mouth for once and let Lennie figh for himself!
I think Georges character is quite amusing. He has a love-hate relasionship with Lennie. This relasionship reminds me of my relasionship with my younger sister. George is very careful about what other people think about Lennie when they first him. He takes good care of Lennie when he's not being selfish. Lennie's Character is my favorite so far, becuase he always thinks what George will think of him. I also have sympathy for Lennie becuase of his problem he has at remebering.
Everybody at the bunkhouse seems to like Lennie, even if he isn't smart. Slim is really nice to him and compliments on his work. Like i said before, Lennie is a nice guy when you get to know him.
I wonder if Slim will let Lennie take one of the puppies? If he gets one of the puppies I think he might harm or kill it. I also feel bad for the old dog to. He doesn't even get a say in it, and at least Candy gets another dog from Slim.

Of Mice and Men pg.1-25, 8/23/10

I thought that this section assignment very riviting to read. I believe George is a little harsh on Lenney. He uses his "problem" to his advantage for example when he made him get firewood and he sat at camp doing nothing.
When they arrive at the ranch Lenney forgot again to not talk when talking with the boss. George always gives him a mean look when he does something he's not suppposed to. George, in my opinion, is really rude and judgemental. He cares what everybody will think of Lenney. Lenney, in my opinion, is really nice but has a problem keeping pets. He tries to be nice to them, but he always kills them with his hands. I feel bad for Lenney because he always gets into trouble and does not do it on purpose.
I can infer that the boss at the ranch is going to fire Lenney becuase of his "problem". Once he sees him working the boss might keep him for the work. George is probably going to take advantage of Lenney again. I hope George is nicer to Lenney in the future.
