Mice and Men: Post 5

I think that the rabbits symbolize comfort towards Lennie and prove that he can be responsible for something thats his own. In a way they bring out Lennies personality because they are something Lennie loves and are really into. He cant stop talking and thinking about them once someone mentions them or the farm there going to live on.

Crooks. I think that Crooks represents the idea of being and feeling alone. I think this because he is black and black people were treated very differently back then like he has to have his own room because nobody else wanted to share a room with a black person. Which probably makes him feel alone and unwanted at times because of his race.

I think that Lennie acted very surprized when he relized that he had just killed Curly's wife. He also was worried that George wont let him tend the rabbits anymore because he had done another bad thing. I think he would act surprize because he dosen't understand how it happen because he dosen't realize how dangerouse he can be by just hold on to someone or grabbing them. He didn't mean to hurt her he just dosen't realize his strenght yet. I think that there are a couple of different things that could happen to Lennie now because he killed someone. He could be put in jail for murdering, him and George might have to go hide in the brush and get out of town, or he could lie about what happen to Curly's wife like he had no idea what happend. There are many different possible outcomes that could happen but it wont hide the fact Lennie killed somebody. It wasn't just a rat or a puppy this time it was a human.

I think that Curly's wife is another way to represent lonliness because nobody would talk to her. They didn't talk to her because they didn't want any trouble. Curly didn't like her talking to anybody either because he was afraid that she would leave him for another guy. It made her feel really lonley because she would only be aloud to talk to Curly and he was kinda boring to talk to. She always new she could have had a better life and wished she had taken those opportunities.
