Of Mice and Men
Reading Notes: Ch. 2
A good friend is loyal, protective, and caring.
George is loyal. I think George is loyal in the way that if Lennie feels uncomfortable in a place, George will do anything to get him out of it. page 33, George says, “We gotta keep it till we get a stake. We can’t help it, Lennie. We’ll get out jus’ as soon as we can. I don’t like it no better than you do.” and “for two bits I’d shove out of here. If we can get jus’ a few dollars in the poke we’ll shove off and go up the American River and pan gold. We can make maybe a couple of dollars a day there, and we might hit a pocket.” George is protective. I think George is protective because on page 21, 22, and 23 George talked for Lennie. This is protecting Lennie because George is making sure Lennie doesn’t lose his job for saying something. On 28 and 29, George protects Lennie by telling him to stay clear away from Curley after Curley made it very clear that he has a dislike for Lennie. George is caring. After hearing Slim talk about his puppies on page 35 and 36, George remembers that he promised Lennie could get a puppy. I say George is caring because he still acknowledges what Lennie likes and promises to get him something …show more content…
Curley is notably smaller than Lennie just as a small snake is smaller than most animals. On page 25, the text says, “He glanced coldly at George and then at Lennie. His arms gradually bent at the elbows and his hands closed into fists. He stiffened and went into a slight crouch. His glance was at once calculating and pugnacious. Lennie squirmed under the look and shifted his feet nervously.” When the text states that Curley’s arms were bent at the elbows, his hands were in fists, and he was in a slight crouch, it reminded me of what a snake looks like before it strikes. When it says that Lennie shifted nervously, it reminded of when the snake’s prey knows something is wrong before something actually
