Exam 2


1. Does Lennie like mice or just anything soft?

Lennie likes to pet anything soft. Like in the book he talks about how excited he is about getting a bunch of rabbits. It also mentions in chapter 3 how he is always petting the puppies. I think it’s just the fact of an animal that has soft fur is no particular type of animals that attract him. At the end he was petting Curl’s wife because her hair was soft that goes to show that he likes anything that is soft.


2. Do you think George really cares about Lennie?

I think at times he does it cause he feels bad, but then I believe he does it cause he really cares about him. If George didn’t care about Lennie then he wouldn’t go through all these problems to keep him safe and take care of him. Also if George didn’t care about him then they wouldn’t have run away from weeds and try and safe Lennie.


3. Do you believe George would have much more money and possibly still be working in Weeds?

I think so because Lennie is always getting into trouble and forgetting things This causes George many problems like loosing their jobs, and causing them to have to fleet the place they were staying. Like they had to leave the place they currently staying because Lennie got himself in trouble and they had to leave Weeds because they would have killed him.
