Chapter 6 Notes

Question: pg. 105
They are at the place where they started off, in the woods and Lennie had escaped and hid in the bush just like George told him. George found him and Lennie thought he was mad at him but he wasn't. Lennie told him to retell the story of the lonely ranchers and how they weren't like that, and George told him to turn around as he recited it, planning to kill him.
Why would George want to kill Lennie? Will he stay at the ranch after that? What will he do all lonely?

Connection
I can relate the end of this chapter to a show I watched. In the movie the man who killed the other man wasn't exactly friends with him but he killed him out of kindness. The man was a disaster everywhere he went even though he never meant it and all he wanted was to be excepted by other people. He gave him mercy because it wasn't a life to be on the run like Lennie and George.

Summary
In Chapter 6 Curley and the other guys are pretty mad so they go on a hunt to find Lennie and shoot him. George reaches there first and goes to Lennie. Lennie thinks George is mad at him but he says he's not mad. Then George tells him to turn his back to him and he recites the story of how they were going to have the perfect life with a garden and bunnies and their own crops. Slowly George pulls out a gun and shoots Lennie in the back of the head. A painless death.
