Question #3
On p. 39 George spoke “proudly” of Lennie for the first time ever while talking to Slim. Later, on p. 44 Candy spoke proudly of his old dog as well. How are these two situations alike?
The situations are similar because George and Candy both are defending Lennie and the old dog because they cannot do it themselves. George speaks proudly of Lennie but if Lennie talks he kind of 'digs himself in a hole' because he is not very intelligent . George wants the farm to think that Lennie is just not bright, not that he is completely useless. They both want to keep there companion around. With Candy he doesn't want to shoot the dog because he had him for a long time. George really cares for Lennie even if he tries not to show it. They both want to keep their friend around. Since something bad happened to the dog ( it getting shot) I am worried that something bad might happen to Lennie, like George leaving him.

I agree with everything you said, Kaitlyn. I think the situations are similar because Candy and George are both loyal and close to the old dog and Lennie. I agree with what you said with the farm, it shows that Lennie is very helpful, even if he is not smart. I believe that something bad will happen to Lennie, but I don't think George will leave him. I don't think George will leave Lennie because throughout the first 3 parts of the book it shows how loyal George and Lennie are, and how they always stick together.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Maddy, so far the book has shown how loyal Lennie and George are to each other so I don't think George will leave Lennie. But I also think that since Candy's dog got shot and they were friends for a long time that maybe something might happen to Lennie and then him and George will have to seperate after a while.
