Chapter 5 Notes

Questions:

• I wonder if Curley really loved his wife?  I think this because, if he really loved her, he would have stayed and mourned her death instead of as soon as seeing her dead, go after the guy who he assumed killed her.
• Do you think Lennie will get killed or hurt this time?
• Why doesn't Curley's wife care about her husband at all?  She told Lennie that if Curley gets tough with him then just break his other hand.  If she loved or cared even the tiniest bit about her husband, she would love him no matter what he does.  She wouldn't go around complaining about her husband.  
• What do you think George will do next?  Will he go to the brush and hide Lenny and sort it out or will he just tell them where he was?
• Do you think that the boss will come back in and try to fire George as well because he said that he and Lennie stay together?
•  Why did Curley's wife start screaming when Lennie grabbed her hair?  Why couldn't she just say to let go of her hair nicely?

Prediction:

      In the next chapter I think that Curley will find Lennie and kill him and George will be an accomplice, because he will tell where Lennie is hiding. "You George! You stick with us so we don't think you had notin' to do with this." (Steinbeck 98.) When Curley said this I automatically thought that they will think that George had something to do with this. Curley will get mad that he can't find Lennie and look at George asking him if he knows where Lennie is. Curley will get it out of him he will squeeze it out of him. They will force him to tell them where Lennie is and they will find Lennie and kill him just like Curley said. 

Connection:

I can connect to Lennie when Curley's wife was talking to him and he was in a different world thinking about something else.  Many times people talk to me about something and i am just in dreamland.  I was thinking a certain thing just like Lennie and did not pay attention to what she was saying.
