Boor shows this when he writes, “So you figured it would be better if I just hated myself” (265). The only reason his parents told him the truth is Paul confronted them. While they admitted that he had a right to know, they justified their reason for not telling him earlier. Paul may have understood that his parents’ love led to their over protection but he probably distrusted his parents and their ability to tell him the whole truth. Paul’s parents’ choices changed the direction of his life.

I was told about confirmation just like Hughes was told about being saved. In “Salvation”, Hughes wrote, “My aunt told me that when you were saved you saw a light, and something happened to you inside! And Jesus came into your life!
It seems that my dad has not put too much thought into day-to-day ethical thinking, but does try to live his life as God would expect him to. He admits to being a bit hypocritical on some things but insists that all will be made right in the end.

However, Curley threatens “(he’s) going to shoot the bastard (himself) even if (he’s) only got one hand. (He’s) gonna get ‘im.” Although Curley’s threat seems to put Lennie in imminent danger, these are only words. There was nothing to say that Curley would have definitely killed him, he may have only tortured him. George saved Lennie from a potential death. In addition to Curley though, George’s action can be seen as an act of justice as he kept others out of harm’s way from Lennie’s inexcusable but accidental strength.

For example when he was at the Grangerfold household, he was almost caught forgetting his own name, but with his sharp wit he turns it around and asks for it to be spelled for him. He didn’t want to be noticed for lying and told he was wrong.
