Part 6

WHY DID GEORGE SHOOT LENNIE? (Use previous events, info, quotes to prove the foreshadowing AND the explanation for WHY he did it.)

 George shot Lennie because he knew Curly was going to anyway. Curly was going to shoot Lennie because Lennie was petting Curly's wife's hair and he accidentally broke her neck and killed her. George knew that when. Curly found out it was Lennie, he would do anything and everything to try to kill Lennie. I made a connection to the shooting of Candy's dog. Carlson shot Candy's dog because it was better for the society."He aint no good to you, Candy. An' he ain't no good to himself. Why'n't you shoot him, Candy?"  Candy's dog was no good for him and Lennie was no good for George. Throughout the whole book, people kept saying that Lennie was no help to George and held him back. Which I think all lead up to Lennie's death.
