Chapter Three of “Of mIcE aNd MeN”
Chapter Three
“Lennie said breathlessly, ‘He’s brown an’ white jus’ like I wanted’”
I like this Lennie guy, his innocence makes me smile. If a grown man(even if he may be mentally ill) finds joy in a puppy its like maybe life an so bad i guess….I really do not know where I am going with this. I just loved this quote because this remind me of my childhood when I could actually find joy in the little things….I seemed to have lost that ability…. Its kinda like the “take time to smell the roses” thing…..kindaish but not really…..
“Jus’ tell Lennie what to do and he’ll do it if it don’t take no figuring”
This quote shows that George knows Lennie enough to know what he can and cannot do. And he can also know when Lennie is lying and he knows how Lennie reacts to things. It takes at true friendship to have a bond like that. George cares enough to learn all of George’s quirks and he cares even to live with him…
“But you get used to goin’ around with a guy an’ you can’t get rid of him”
This made me think about how i am with some of my friends. They grow attached and I grow attached and its a whole attachedfest…… But maybe I feel for my friends in a different context than George probably does for Lennie….
My questions are:
- Will Lennie and George make it to their dream ranch?
- What is that one chick gonna do to make their lives hard?
- Is something really bad gonna happen?
