Part 1 Q's

        Part One Questions 
      In part one of Of Mice and Men, We are introduced to two new characters. The first one is Lennie, Lennie is very big but short minded. The other character is George, he is rude to Lennie and is basically a father to Lennie.
        The author quickly foreshadows that something will happen in the story that revolves around Lennie being short minded. He does this by showing that George is angry that he can't do anything when he has to always deal with Lennie. We know this because in the story George says "... If I was alone I could live easy. I could go get a job an' work, an' no trouble...". By saying this George made it clear he would rather leave Lennie then to deal with him. Although he said quickly after he was just kidding and that he needed Lennie, I think he was saying that just to make Lennie feel better because Lennie really was no help to George.
        I think that farther in the story Lennie will cause a problem because George wants to live a perfect American Dream. They have to start this dream by first finding a place to settle. It is hard to settle insomehwere if Lennie is not helpful and is just considered by George as another mouth to feed.
