Chapter 4 Notes

Question: pg. 71
Lennie is sitting with Crooks and he just told him about how they were going to get some land and live a good life with animals and their own land so they wouldn't have to share anything. Then Crooks starts talking about how George could get hurt and never come back or he could just choose to leave which is really freaking Lennie out.
Why is Crooks provoking Lennie and does he enjoy doing it? What would Lennie do without George and how long would he last?

Prediction: pg. 82
I predict that Curley's wife is going to go taunt Curley about his hand because she knows something is going on and the whole story with his hand getting caught in the machine was a lie. That will cause more fights and because Lennie doesn't let go of things when he's scared he is probably going to end up killing someone.

Summary:
In Chapter 4 everything took place in Crooks' cabin. When Lennie first came Crooks was tense and on the edge but it was so easy for him to relax because Lennie is just like a child. The Lennie tells him about his dreams of living in a nice little house with bunnies alongside George. Crooks sees how vulnerable Lennie is and scares him saying that George isn't coming back for him. Lennie has a meltdown and almost crushes Crooks' hand. Then Candy comes in and they start talking about their plans to own land. Cooks asks them if he could come with themm and work for them.
