Chapter 3 Notes
Question: On page 62 and continuing on page 63, there is a huge physical fight between Curley and Lennie. Curley couldn't find his wife and Lennie just so happened to be smiling about the dream house disscussion. Curley got angry at him because he thought he was laughing at him. During the fight, George was yelling at Lennie to fight back. I wonder why none of the other guys in the bunkhouse got involved in the fight or tried to help out Lennie or Curley? Also, once Lennie did do something why did George tell him to stop right away? I think Lennie has the right to show he's not just a weakling that everyone portrays him as and Curley beat him up pretty bad so I think he's allowed to just break a few bones in his hand.
Prediction: My prediction is that Curley will finally understand to just leave Lennie alone because he's harmless. Also, I think Lennie, George, and Candy will actually leave the bunkhouse or start saving to leave. I have a feeling that Lennie might get into some trouble this coming chapter by the clues they have already provided us. The author told the reader that he is known for getting in trouble and George has been telling him to hide in this bush whenever something goes wrong.
I really enjoyed reading you post. It was very-well setup and in chronological order. Your prediction triggered the same thing in my mind. It made me want to think more outside the box than I already have
