Answer:
- Don't talk to the boss.2. Return to the pond area and hide in the brush if he gets into trouble at the
farm
Question 2: What does Slim makes Curley agree to?
Answer:
That Curley will say he got his hand stuck in a machine instead of saying Lennie hurt him. Otherwise, they'll make fun of Curley for getting beaten up (Curley= too prideful) Question 3: Describe George's reaction when Slim calls Lennie "a cuckoo."
Answer:
He gets angry and defends Lennie. Says that everyone on the farm is not smart if they don't have their own land.Question 4: George shows his anger and concern at Lennie. Why do you think George continues to, as Lennie states, "look after me"? Do you think that Lennie contributes anything to their relationship? Is there any sense in which he is able to "look after" Geroge?
Answer:
George would feel guilty leaving Lennie (promised his aunt clara he'd take care of him). Lennie is
company for George and protection. Lennie's need for George gives George a purpose in life.Question 5: What does George ask Whit about the "new kid," Curley's wife?
Answer:
If there has been any trouble since she arrived at the farm (Lennie) Question 6: What reason might he have for changing his mind about joining the others?
Answer:
I think he's afraid of what will happen if he tries to assert his independence again (Curley's wife threatened to lynch him JUST for telling her to leave his room) Question 7: Slim tells George, in essence, that he did what he had to do aboutg Lennie. Do you agree or disagree w/ Slim? Are there other possibilities that George could have considered? If so, what are they?
Answer:
This solution just got rid of the current prob (Lennie killing someone) and any future probs. I feel like Lennie and George could've run far away again b/c news didn't travel terribly fast then, Curley didn't seem to love his wife, &no one trusted others Question 8: Both Lennie's Aunt Clara and a gigantic rabbit appear while Lennie waits for George. What might each of these figures represent?
Answer:
Aunt Clara- guilt, conscience. Lennie forgets things so he needs someone to tell him he's in the wrong.Aunt Clara= his limited capacity to feel guilt. Rabbit= Lennie's paradise, happiness, and comfort.
Question 9: Summarize Candy's description of Curley's wife.
Answer:
Calls her a tart (prostitute). She married Curley but flirts w/ the other farm workers Question 10: What does Curley's wife give Lennie as the reason for her having married Curley?
Answer:
To spite her mother and get away from her mother.Question 11: What does Lennie repeatedly tell his "Aunt Clara" when she accuses him of doing bad things and not minding George?
Answer:
He says that he tried and tried (to mind George so that he could tend the rabbits)
Question 12: What do mice represent Lennie?
Answer:
He can't help having a mental disability Question 13: George tells Lennie he isn't mad and never has been, and that he wants Lennie to know that. Why does George say this? Do you think he's telling Lennie the truth?
Answer:
He said these things so that he could honestly tell Lennie how he felt before killing him. Although Lennie is a burden and a hassle for George, George wouldn't have continued to travel w/ Lennie if he didn't feel this way.Question 14: What does Curley's wife say she might have done instead of marrying Curley?
Answer:
Be an actres/movie star.Question 15: Describe George's reaction and reply when Lennie says he thought George was mad at him?

Seems like he feels bad for Lennie: doesn't get mad, just comes and sits by Lennie. Shows that he is not going to kill Lennie out of anger.Question 16: Curley's wife indicates that she doesn't like her husband. Why do you think she married him? Base your answer on what you know about her character.
Answer:
Money (the story took place during the Depression) Question 17: What is Curley's wife's explanation for the reason guys won't talk unless the're alone?

Question 19: How does Crooks differ from other ranch hands?

Accumulated a lot of things; likes to read and be educated; crippled.Question 20: What does the boss suspect George of doing to Lennie? What makes him think this?
Answer:
He's never seen one man try and go to so much trouble to get a job for another man. The boss thinks that George only hangs around and travels w/ Lennie so he can take his pay b/c George does ALL of the talking
Question 21: Explain why George and Lennie had to leave their job in Weed.

Answer:
He is black (experiences racism) and crippled (can only do certain jobs on the farm)
