Throughout pages twenty-six through fifty, I found more and more things that might lead to changes for George and Lennie. For instance, the author really uses foreshadowing during the part when George and the stable buck are talking about Curley's wife. I honestly think that together, Curley and his wife are going to cause terrible problems.
I like the fact that George and Lennie are making more and more friends. Slim, Carlson, and some of the other guys in the bunkhouse are really welcoming to George and Lennie, and I like that someone is actually being nice to them. Slim is strongly understanding Lennie's views and actions and really helps Lennie out by giving him a puppy, which in my opinion is great because Lennie could use a good pet, but my question is: Will Lennie kill it like he did the mice?
One part of what I read really caught my attention. I think it is kind of strange how the author uses all the everlasting silences and stares to get the point across that Candy's old dog needed to be shot. Although I like how it just keeps leading you on. I think this is a good book so far, but is going to get better as the suspense keeps building and the conflicts rise.
Lindsey, I agree with you about the everlasting silences. It really led me on and got me thinking about how the author really worked on getting the point across. I don't think it was the stable buck that George was talking to about Curley's wife though. I think it was Candy the swamper.
ReplyDeleteI never thought about Curley and his wife causing problems, but from what we know about their personalities, i a conflict may be created between the two of them.
