This book I feel was easier for me to understand because of the dialogue. I personally mainly liked how the described the people indirectly through the dialogue such as in what I just read about the stable buck: “Long as you won’t get out and leave me alone, you might as well sit down” (69). This quote told me how he was he was lonely and wished to have company as much as he could but didn’t want to act like he wanted it. He seems to act sarcastic enough that others may guess it but might not always be sure.
One thing I liked about the book was how you could notice foreshadowing and know what is going to happen next such as when Lennie was talking to Curley’s wife: “Feel right around there and see how soft it is” (90). Curley’s wife just told Lennie to feel her hair and in the past when Lennie pets things like mice he killed.
However the end seemed to be sudden I knew Lennie was going to be killed however I thought it would be Curley instead of George. “He pulled the trigger” (106). It seemed to happen unwillingly and the reason behind it didn’t seem to click. After reading the book I asked the question why? It didn’t seem to have a reason behind why George killed Lennie.
