Of Mice and Men, pages 25-50

In these pages we read about how Lennie and George really met and how George treats Lennie all the time, but yet still looks out for him. I think since George treated Lennie so badly in the past years and how he still treats him bad, I think that George should have to look out for him for everything that happened in the past. At the same time i still think George may do it because Lennie's aunt may have asked him to or just because Geaorge can be a nice guy and is and maybe wants someone to be like a little brotther to him that he can look after.
This next part of the story I don't necessarily like because Carleson, all he wants to do is shoot Candy's dog that he has had since the ancient dog was a pup. I really think this is sad, and Carleson could've put up with the dog longer except that he hated the smell and always complained. At the same time tthough it is a good thing that thay got rid of the dog because it was hurting and it wasn't what you'd call a real handy dog at the time.
The thing i didn'tlike is that Candy really didn't get a choice about if the ancient dog stayed or got shot which was also very sad. Now though Candy will get a new dog to raise, and so will Lennie which will make him happy because he loves animals.

Of Mice and Men

In the pages that we have read this week we meet George and Lennie which have both been really good friends for a long time. George takes really good care of Lennie and watches after him. Whenever Lennie gets into trouble or does something wrong George is always there to get him out of it or help him. The thing is though is that George never lets Lennie have any fun. For instance Lennie had a mouse so he could just pet it, george took it from him and just threw it out in the woods.
George and Lennie are supposed to be at the ranch early in the morning so they can start their first day of work and help out in the morning. Their bad luck though made it so they couldn't work in the morning and they got there late. All because the bus dropped them off ten miles too early.
So when they get to the ranch late the owner there is really mad at them for not being there for work when they were supposed to. Another thing that George does to Lennie that im not so impressed with is that Lennie doesn't get to speak for himself, George always does it for him. So the ranch owner is very mad at them because they weren't there to work early in the morning and he starts off getting to know them and get them situated. Since Lennie can't talk at all George gets everything ready for him and they both fit in eventually.
Until they meet Curley who is just mean to both of them, (and they just got there i mean really give them a break). Curley is mean to George and he can stick up for himself, but Lennie can't because he may get into trouble.
