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.

  1. I also believe that the book is riviting because of all the action and fights. It makes me wonder how they are still friends because they fight so much. I also agree with you that George IS judgemental of lennie.

  3. I agree with you about the fact that George uses Lennie's "problem" to his advantage. I thought that George was lazy and made Lennie do all of the work.

  4. Keep trying to explain why. Why does Lennie always kill the mice? Why is George mean? Why did they have to leave the place they came from? Also address what you see as foreshadowing. Keep looking for items to discuss. Probably a bit longer would be good too, and that will happen when you have more things to discuss.
