In my opinion Candy's dog represents many thing. The dog represents dreams dying. Once your dream was young fresh and exciting. But after fighting for it for so long and you never achieve it its old and useless. Its like someone just shot your dreams in the back of the head and kilt all your hopes.
2.Why do you think the Arthur choose to make Lennie the way he is?
I think the author choose to make Lennie big and slow because it represents something. It represents all the people in the world with a handicap that are discriminated against.
3. Was Linnie from Native son and Bigger From Native Son anything alike?
They were very different. Linnie was kind of slow but he was happy the way he was. The littlest things in life was what really matted in life.Linnie never changed the way he acted for any one. He was not scared to be his self. But with bigger he was very confused with his life. He changed the way he acted for certain people and he acted like h e was tougher then he really was. Kind of like Curly.
4.Do you think Curlies Wife was promiscuous or lonely?
Her problem with herself is that she could have been way better then what she is living now. She feels as though she can’t do anything. She can’t even talk to any other males, only Curly. She is very lonely and she just wants to live a better life and be able to have enough freedom to talk to others without Curly saying something. I don't think she was very promiscuous, just lonely.
5. What was the turning point of this novel?
I believe that the turning point of the novel was when George shot Linnie in his head. That was the turning point of the novel for me because it was shocking. I could not believe it. I was in total shock. In a way I think George was doing his self a favor because he did not want anybody to hurt Linnie but it was so sad because he had to do it. After all they had been through together.
6. What were some of the motives behind killing the dog?
Carlson's motives behind killing the dog was the fact that the dog was old and useless and he could not move.
7. What factors would you change if you could rewrite the story?
If I had a chance to rewrite the story I would change the act that George killed Lennie. I would have just let them run away again. However it would take away the whole moral of the book also if he doesn't get killed, especially by Lennie.
8. If you were told to compare yourself to one character who would it be?why?
If I had to choose i guess it would be Curlies wife. She is a young girl who is confused and seeks any attention she can get from males because she really doesn't have any friends or family. I myself am kind of the opposite. If i am feeling lonely I look for friends or family instead of males.
9. Why was Curly so Mean ?
Curly could have been this way for many reasons. He was the smallest person on the ranch. He always felt that he had something to prove due to his small stature. He could have felt that the world was always agianst him. He wanted the bigger men to fear him. He flaunted the fact that he had a wife, and money. He wanted everyone to feel as though they were inferrior to him.
10. . What are some of the problems of George and Lennie’s relationship?
George can’t really have fun because he have to take care of Lennie and make sure he doesn’t get into trouble. It was like having a child you have to give hem your full attention and George didn’t like that idea that much.
