Life could always be worse…..

“The first man was small and quick, dark of face, with restless eyes and sharp, strong features. Every part of him was defined: small, strong hands, slender arms, a thin and bony nose. Behind him walked his opposite, a huge man, shapeless of face, with large, pale eyes, with wide, sloping shoulders; and he walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws. His arms did not swing at his sides, but hung loosely”

This statement shows the major contrast between George and Lennie…. Basically George is being described as a human but Lennie is being described as an animal, kinda like a dumb animal. And what else, Lennie kinda fits the description his mind is totally elsewhere….like the light is out in the lighthouse.

“I’d pet ‘em, and pretty soon they bit my fingers and I pinched their heads a little and then they was dead – because they was so little”

I kinda feel sorry for Lennie…..It almost makes me cry. Its like he doesn’t understand things at all…Like he doesn’t understand why the mice die, because they are so fragile and he is too strong and he doesn’t understand what his strength does. He’s just like a little kid, I just wanna hug him….sigh…….poor guy….i guess i pity him……:(

“Well, look. Lennie – if you jus’ happen to get in trouble like you always done before, I want you to come right here an’ hide in the brush”

This to me is foreshadowing that something bad is gonna happen. Like something horrible is gonna happen and that brush is gonna be used later on in the story. I hope Lennie will remember this….Hopefully this wont be used….I’m kinda scared by this statement….
