Part 2 Foreshadowing

On page 37, I think the foreshadowing is represented in the following quotes.

"Ya know, Lennie, I'm scared I'm gonna tangle myself  with that bastard myself I hate his guts."
"Curley popped into the doorway again and stood looking into the room. The dog raised his head, but when Curley jerked out, the grizzled head sank to the floor again."

I don't know what happens throughout the book, except for what I have read, so I don't know exactly that this is a example of foreshadowing. But I think Curley and George  may get into a fight later in the book. It said that Curley likes to pick on larger guys, like Lennie, so I surmise that Curley will try to pick a fight with Lennie, but George will hop in and try to protect Lennie because George is like Lennie's father, protector man. On the other hand, this could just be another line in the book like a lot of other lines.

The second quote may be a foreshadowing for finding what happened in the past. As mentioned in class, Candy has lost his hand and he has a very old dog. I think that Curley may have been the cause of Candy's missing hand and the dog "knows" Curley did it and so know he gets kind of aggressive in a protective kind of way.
