They say I stink. Well, I tell you, you all of you stink to me”. ( page 68. Crooks) People tend to pick on him because he was crippled and had no say. He is so desperate for company and for someone to talk, even though he does not really show it.
L: George uses restatement a lot to try and get his point across to Slim about how great Lennie is even thought he is dumb, because George loves him so much. S: Slim uses interrogative sentences, asking many questions conveying how he is questioning the 2 men. Analysis Paragraph:

We can see that Curley’s wife is portrayed by Steinbeck as a ‘tart’ in the beginning of the book, she is not cared for or liked by many of the men on the ranch at all as she irritates them and they think that she is not loyal towards Curley. However, by the end of the book the reader feels sorry for her as we see deeper inside her and see how lonely she is, she only has the image of a tart because she is so alone and the only way she knows to make friends is by being a flirtatious person. The first mention of Curley’s wife is in chapter 2 when George and ‘the swamper’ are talking about her. They say that she is ‘Purty ... but- well-she got the eye’. They mean that she is always looking and flirting with other men.
The rabbits appeared to dance in the air, leaping into a distant fog, Aunt Clara was calling, in his mind he ran towards her following the rabbits….then all was silent. George’s eyes glazed over, Curley said, ‘good riddance to the crazy bastard, he’ll kill no more women now’. George stood up, ‘this was never ‘bout your wife, you don’t give a shit about anything but yerself, he showed you for what you are, a pigshit small man with a two bit mind, Lennie might not’ve bin smart but inside he was better than either of you, now git the fuck outta my
Ralph’s ability to persuade the boys to behave civilly was most impressive until the boys slowly began to become savage. Despite Ralph’s strong morals he was still vulnerable to savagery.

All horses deserve, for at least one time in their life, to be loved by a little girl. My Horse’s feet are as swift as rolling thunder. He carries me away from all my fears. And as the world threatens to fall asunder, his mane is there to wipe away my
Throughout the whole trip he had something to say for everything Tub did. I don’t like Kenny and I think he has some self-conscious issues and doesn’t care about anyone but himself. He’s a jerk to everyone else. Kenny and Frank were close so sometimes even Frank would make fun of Tub or something mean. Kenny is a very manipulative person and can make anyone feel down.
When George claims that he "goes nuts" when thinking of the time he could be without Lennie. This clearly hurts Lennie as he will offer to go and find a cave and leave George to be free. However, George counteracts this as he is also presented as a sorrow and thoughtful character when George admits that "I have been mean". This shows that George sometimes regrets his harsh words, which makes the reader forgive him for sometimes being cruel to Lennie. George even gets Lennie a "pup" for being mean to
Okay, these are exactly the same as “how far” questions. You need to say that we do feel sorry for Lennie, but also we don’t. Here is what I would do:- Paragraph one – He doesn’t understand, he is completely naïve and dependent * “I di’n’t mean no harm, George” * “let ‘im have what, George?” * “It’s mean here” * “I can just as well go away” Paragraph two – He loses everything, his dream, the mice and the pup * “He pulled the trigger” * “he ain’t gonna let me tend the rabbits” * “you’ve broke it pettin’ it” * “An’ then he was dead” Paragraph three – He is consistently picked on by other men, including
