Theme Analysis

In last week's blog response, I asked you to select a theme that "hit home" with you the most.  Now that you have set your sights on a theme you would most like work with some more, it is time to test your skills of analysis.  Scan through the last chapter (6) in Of Mice and Men and see if you can pull out a moment from the text that, upon close reading, says something about your selected theme.
Lennie said softly , "I didn't forget, you bet, God damn. Hide in the brush an' wait for George." He pulled his hat down low over his eyes. "George gonna give me hell," he said.

Wherever Lennie goes he never thinks for himself because he's used to George thinking for him. This is a power struggle because it's like a kid running away and coming back beacause they have nowhere to go and don't know what to do.
