1) Lennie and George arrive at their new workplace, the ranch and meet an old man named Candy in the bunkhouse. 2) The boss comes to see his new workers, George and Lennie, and he finds it suspicious how George responds to everything for Lennie. 3) George lies to the boss by saying Lennie is his cousin and also about why they had to leave their old job. 4) The boss' son sees George and Lennie for the first time and begins to size them up. From this part of the chapter we have learned that he is a small man who is tough and cocky. 5) Lennie and George meet the boss' son's wife and they find out that she's a tramp and has eyes for other men on the ranch. Although this is the case, Lennie keeps repeating that she's pretty as if he has a crush
The author of this review focuses on the life of Lennie. She sympathizes with the hard times Lennie had to go through as a character. The author describes Lennie to the readers as an innocent, childlike character who is misunderstand by the people surrounding him. She describes Lennie 's love for soft things and his wanting of George 's approval. The author gives the review from Lennie 's point of view and describes George as a rolemodel to Lennie. She
Lennie starts having a conversation to Crooks, but he keeps babbling about the promises to keep their farm a secret. George is basically the brain of Lennie, without him he'll be in trouble.
George and Lennie who both have the dream of owning a ranch with their wantings
The reason why boss finds George and Lennie suspicious is because George does the most of the talk for Lennie. “Let the big guy talk” (pg 25) Another reason why the boss find George and Lennie suspicious is because they say that they are cousins, which they are not. “ He’s my ... cousin I told his old lady I’d take care of him.” (pg12). My last reason why boss find George and Lennie suspicious is because George said that their job is done and they had to find a new job. “The job was done” (pg 27).
After that one was why they left Weed to come to their current ranch. George said that their job was to dig up a cesspool and they finished. This is a big web of lies George is weaving, and to not anyone else but the boss. All these lies and the boss being suspicious of them already makes this a unsafe for mostly Lennie. If those lies were to come out it would end the job for both of them. Another reason why the ranch is unsafe for them is because of the boss's son, Curley. When Curley walks in and notices the new men, he ¨glances coldly¨. This alone can give off that he doesn't like them already. But, he goes up to George and Lennie and tries to force Lennie to talk. He is being very rude and mean to them. He is very problematic, he is just there to cause problems between people. Candy adds that, ¨He's alla time picking scraps with big guys...S'pose Curley jumps a big guy an' licks him. Ever'body says what a game guy Curley is. And s'pose he does the same thing and gets licked. Then ever'body says the big guy oughtta pick on somebody his own size...¨ (26) Since Lennie is a big guy, there is a big chance that Curley can mess with
Unlike Crooks, Lennie and George share a bond and a life filled with optimism which Crooks is never able to hold with anyone else. George’s only chance to live differently than the other men is to have a relationship with Lennie which will set him apart from others. George and Lennie, though opposites in their physical description care very much about each other which comes off as a surprise for the ranchers they work with. It merely appears to be a surprise because Lennie, a retarded man, and George, a smart man, look after each other. Even Slim is perplexed that “one guy would take so much trouble for another guy” and believes Lennie is crazy. George, a devoted friend stands up for Lennie and protests against Slim’s beliefs to inform him that “[Lennie] is not cuckoo, he’s dumb as hell, but he ain’t crazy.” George stands up for Lennie when anybody says anything bad about him. George has always been the first to make sure that Lennie is not subjected to pain. George also gives Lennie advice and helps him when terrifying forces such as Curley scare
On page 22, George lied to The Boss by saying that Lennie is his cousin and that’s why they are so attached at the hip.
When the men were done playing horseshoes, they had found the body. George figured out what had happened first and took off looking for him, while the men set, out as a mob with guns, intending to murder Lennie. When George found Lennie, he knew he had a decision to make, he either had to kill him, or let the mob do it in a very cruel manner. He decides it would be better if he killed Lennie himself. First he calmed him down, then did what had to be done,
And the boss he is well-stocky man (20) that dress right and he delivered a gallon of whiskey to the ranch. Lennie and George when they first come to the ranch. He finds it strange that they're friends and also the fact that Lennie barely speaks at all during the job interview. The Boss gets easily angry towards Crooks as Slim mentions which shows that the Boss has a short temper
<br>A reader can understand very vividly from his actions and attitudes that George is sensible and able to think quickly in a situation. He seems to have a very good understanding of the nature of others, especially of their attitudes towards Lennie, for example, that if the boss hears Lennie talk and realises his handicapped, then it is unlikely they will get work. He also knows, to make Lennie repeat things two or three times over to himself, to help him remember, for example when he slowly repeats, "Hide in the brush till I come for you, can you remember that?" to Lennie. He also knows that Lennie is likely to do things and attempt to hide them, such as when Lennie appears from his walk in the woods, and is immediately suspected of smuggling a dead
There is no doubt that in Chapter Two conflict is arising for George and Lennie. I see two potential conflicts arising between them and their boss and his son.
George: George is a small and quick man from Soledad, California, a modest town south of San Jose and west of Fresno. He jumps from ranch to ranch, working odd jobs in hopes of one day owning a few acres of his own. He has taken care of Lennie since he was fairly young; there aren’t “many guys who travel around together.” He cares for Lennie deeply and is quite devoted, and through everything that Lennie has done
Falling Action: George says he wants Lennie to stay with him. He comments that ranch workers are always lonely, but he and Lennie are different because they have one another.
There is also a sense of lack of trust in the relationship between the two men. We see this through the predicament with the work cards. It tells us that George again has to take care of Lennie, and that Lennie isn’t trusted by George. Again this idea is portrayed to the reader on page seventeen, we notice that George knows that he needs a plan b as Lennie cannot be trusted so his plan b is to tell Lennie to “hide in the brush until I come for you”. This helps us to understand the relationship even further. George also treats Lennie like a dog in one occasion in the chapter, “good boy”. This is something a master would say to a dog to encourage them, it also tells us the sort of role in the relationship George has again.
George does all the talking during the interview, making it very suspicious to the boss and he can’t understand why George is so close with Lennie. George also claims that they left their last job because it was done “diggin’ a cesspool”, hence making it sound more weird and hard to believe.
