Chapter 3 Notes

Prediction: I predict that Curley will get his revenge on Lennie by getting him fired. Since Lennie practically broke his hand, he won't have a chance there because if he doesn't get fired Curley will make his life a living hell. I also think that Curley's wife will get Lennie in some trouble. Lennie already seems a bit attracted to her and based off the things the other workers said about her she's to all out there and has her eye on everyone.

Question: pg. 47
Slim and George had just come in the room and Lennie was in the barn watching and playing around with the pups. The other guys were complaining about Candy's dog and how he's so old and of no use hat they should kill him.
Why would they be pressuring Candy so much to kill the dog? Doesn't anyone care about the dog or feel sorry for it. Why won't they just let it die naturally?

Summary: In Chapter 3 they were just having a normal day at work and Lennie was excited to see Slim's pups. When Curley comes in right before George he thinks that his wife is with Slim because he's looking for her and Slim is in the barn, not in the room. When they came back, Curley and Slim were arguing and Lennie was smiling at another thought but Curley got mad at him because he thought he was laughing at him. Curley started a fight with Lennie and Lennie ended up breaking his hand just by holding on to it.
