In our readings this week, Candy, Crooks, and Lennie were talking about their plans to get their own place. I think it is great that they are all trying to work together to achieve a goal and actually have plans for the future. Will they stick to their plans?
The part that I didn't like was when Curley's wife was calling Crooks a nigger and saying all the horrible stuff to him. I think all people should be treated equal. I did like that Curley's wife and Lennie could actually relate to eachother and she had someone to talk to. Although, I was really surprised that Lennie ended up killing Curley's wife. If I was Lennie I would have alienated everything and ran as far away as I could have. I would never have been able to predict what had happened in that part before I read it. It was very surprising.
When Curley and some of the others found out I figured they would be angry. I predicted that Lennie would go back to the river and hide in the brush until George came. My prediction was right, but I did not think that George would be the one to shoot Lennie. I thought George was going to tell Curley and the others he went the opposite direction and then go get Lennie later and they would leave together. The end of this book was definately surprising.
I like how the end of the book wass suspensful but yet reasonable. I think George might have done the right thing by shooting Lennie himself. Lennie was happy and thinking about their rabbits. I also thinkthat Lennie would have been miserable if he was locked up or being chased by Curley and then getting shot.
I was strongly interested in this book and I liked it a lot. I think it is a good book for us to start out with and am excited to read the next one.
