Lucas B The whole time, George was right about making it clear to Lennie that he is to keep his mouth shut and not talk to curly's wife. On page 88, Lennie exclaims "Well, George says you'll get us in a mess." (steinback 88) This quote clearly showed that Lennie had the right idea about not getting into dialog with Curly's wife. She was able to get him to open up unfortunately. I think that Steinback did a bad job with the ending of the book. I was thinking more on the peaceful side with George, Lennie and candy running to the "Fatta the land". Lennie getting shot in the back of the lead is surprising considering how loyal George was. There trust was untouchable in Lennie's mind. For Lennie being mentally challenged as well as being shot in the head makes me think things could of been done differently. If the men in the house were looking for the most efficient way to deal with it, then they sure took care of that. On the other hand, it could of been steinbacks plan to surprise us with a death at the end. If it was then he did surprise me. Peace to ya all and to all a good night!

 * Lenny starts by touching Curly's wife's hair he is not trying to be a pervert or anything he just likes to touch soft things. He is not a guy who understand, he just does not want George to get mad at at him, and when Curly s wife starts yelling. He was asking her to stop but i guess she was scared too, Lenny twisted her neck because he wanted her to stop yelling and if she dint stop then George would not let him have the rabbits**
 * I think Lennie shouldn’t care much about what George thinks, because he kills Curley’s wife because of George. Lennie says “I don’t want ta hurt you but George’ll be mad if you yell” (Steinbeck 91). I Think If Lennie dint care so much of George he could have just let her yell, and when he was done touching her hair he would of left. Something that bothered me is how George planed everything with Candy leaving Lennie on his own. I thought George would help Lennie not kill him although I think it was better that George killed Lennie not someone else, because George did it quick. If someone else did it they would have done it slower and with more pain. **
