In the quote, Curley shows how much he wants to kill Lennie, and that he has no mercy for him because of what he had done to his wife.…

and my father’s cousins and uncles. Father and I hunt out by the Weis farm in the cornfield. This past summer I earned my firearm safety certificate. Now I can shoot during deer hunting season with my father. For my first year, I will shoot a 410 shotgun, which can be ear-piercing. I am ecstatic about deer hunting this year, and I hope to shoot one! Riding bikes with my mother has always been a memorable memory. We ride our bikes in the neighborhood approximately twice per week. Once in awhile,…

The Second Amendment states, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” This law was made 225 years ago, and people have taken advantage of it ever since.

They kissed it… It was then that Diana Moon Glampers, the Handicapper General, came into the studio with a double-barreled ten-gauge shotgun.

policy - nothing is sold on credit. The man is flustered, begging. Realizing he’s getting nowhere, the readheaded kid stoms out. A few days later: December 1, 1957. The young man reenters the store. He looks around: the store is empty. He pulls a shotgun out of nowhere and grabs Colvert, forcing him to hand over a wad of cash, amounting to $100, then leads Colvert outside into his car.
