Chapter 2 Notes


Summary: Lennie and George get to the bunkhouse where Candy escorts them in and shows them where they’ll be sleeping. Because George and Lennie were supposed to be there that morning the boss questioned them. George did all the talking and Lennie, as instructed, remained quiet. The boss began to get suspicious as to why Lennie wasn’t answering the questions he was being asked and George was talking for him. George had to lie and say he had been kicked in the head as a child and that he was Lennie’s cousin. The boss’s son Curley came into the bunkhouse looking for his father and noticed how he made Lennie nervous, taking advantage of that he approached Lennie. George spoke for Lennie and this aggravated Curley and this started problems between Lennie and Curley. George lectures him about not being around him and he judges him about not looking at Curley’s wife, who Lennie finds “purty”.
     
      Prediction: I predict that Lennie is going to forget the lecture that George gave him and he’s going to flirt with Curley’s wife. I predict that Lennie and Curley are going to get into an altercation.
   
        Questions: why does George yell at Lennie for not talking when the boss was talking to him although he told him not to talk? Why did George act as if the conversation between him and Candy didn’t spark his interest?
