Chapter 3 Notes

Questions
  1. I wonder why George trusts Slim enough to tell him why him and Lennie came to work on the ranch when he just met him?
  2. Why is Curley so frustrated with tall people? I think he might have been bullied as a child.
  3. Why doesn't Candy prevent his dog from being shot?  Why didn't he keep on arguing?
  4. What does George really think about Lennie?
  5. Why did the author add the part when they talked about the letter that Bill Tenner wrote to the editor of some magazine?


Predictions:
     I predict that Curley will be afraid of Lennie from now on.  After their little fight, Lennie almost broke Curly's hand very easily, showing that Lennie can handle Curley if he ever had to.  Not to mention that Curley is terrified of big people!
 
 
Summary
     Slim talks to George about him working together with Lennie and is surprised that  Lennie, a tall, dumb guy and George, a smart, small guy are together.  Carlson then walks in the bunkhouse and offers to kill the dog since Candy won't.  When Carlson takes the dog outside to be killed, Candy feels motionless, looking at the ceiling when he hears the gun shot from outside of Carlson killing the dog. Later, Lennie and Curly get into a fight. Lennie doesn't fight back, but grabs Curly's fist, possibly breaking bones.
