In chapter two the relationship seemed to be stronger than I had thought at first. In relating to chapter one the thought of Lennie getting into trouble is becoming more and more certain in my mind. In reading there were several passages I came across that stuck out in my mind.
“Well I never seen one guy take so much trouble for another guy. I just like to know what your interest it?”-22
This passage was interesting to me because it showed to me that the boss can see the relationship between the two and so it showed to me that George is attached to Lennie in an emotional way. Also to me it may be showing a little bit of foreshadowing by the way the boss said it. The boss could have said that in a way that it didn’t seem like it was trouble, but by the way it says that I never seen one guy take so much trouble just kind of hinted there may be more trouble coming.
“If I was a relative of yours I’d shoot myself.”-24
This passage stuck out by how he was talking to Lennie after lying. However it seemed to me to be a cover up that. George expressed himself in such a rush that it kind of seem like he was trying to hide is true feelings. If this statement is true though then this may bring up What will he do when he can’t take anymore of Lennie?
“Curley is one of those guys that hate big guys.”-26
This passage seemed to show what kind of trouble Lennie is in. He has to somehow keep his job but in order to do this it seems that he is going to have to deal with Curley. This also struck me because sometimes I feel the same way however I don’t judge them right away or at least I try not to.
“Look Lennie, you try to keep away from him will you?”-29
This passage seemed to have shown foreshadowing to me. I believe that this passage is hinting that something is going to happen between Curley and Lennie and it won’t end well knowing that Curley is the boss’s son. This passage is interesting because it makes the reader think about what is going to happen next and how it will end?
