Question: pg.11
Lennie and George are sitting by the stream and George is ranting on and on about how he could have a much better life if he didn't have to take care of Lennie. This happens because Lennie wanted ketchup but they didn't have any.
Why does George have to take care of Lennie, and if they are just friends then why is George taking so much care of him like a parent?
Is George doing this because he sympathises for Lennie and if Lennie has an Aunt Clara why doesn't he just leave her there?

Prediction:
I predict that Lennie will ruin things for them when they go to the ranch for a job. Because Lennie is so forget full he will say or do something wrong because he'll just forget about George telling him to keep quiet. Lennie messed things up at the last ranch they worked on and he could do it again.


Summary:
        In the first chapter of the novella "The Mice and Men" there are two main characters: Lennie and George. George is a small and smart man and Lennie was a tall muscular man who was like a six year old child. George and Lennie are looking for a job at a ranch because they had to run from the old one. Lennie just wanted to feel a woman's dress but seeing as he's not a child but a grown man, it wasn't right. Now they were just a short distance away from the new ranch they would be working on, by a stream.
