In part 4 Lennie went into Crooks room without being invited! When Lennie was going to see the puppy's he spotted his room. You could definitely tell that Crooks was not very happy when he stepped in the room. He said, "'You got no right to come in my room. This here's my room'" (68). At first he came out very aggressive and rude to Lennie. Crooks was never let it their room and didn't want him in his room. I think that he did that to feel like he had power too.  After a little crooks was alright with Lennie being in his room. Crooks said, "'Come on in set awhile'" (69). Crooks sees that Lennie isn't as smart and is not their to start any conflict. With the other men on the ranch they would only go in his room for work. He wast sure how to react at first. I think that because Lennie has an intellectual disability he almost sympathies with him. It is really hard for Crooks and Lennie to fit in. He was able to have a real conversation w...

Throughout half of part 3 the men on the ranch couldn't stop gossiping about Curley and his wife. The men on the ranch really dislike Curley but cant do much about it because he's the bosses son. Curley has a very pretty wife but she is a little to flirty with the other men (especially slim). The men always see her giving "the eye" to Slim. The men said, "He spends half of his time lookin' for her, and the rest of the time she is lookin' for him"(53). They always seem to be playing a game of hide and seek around the ranch. The ranch is not a good place for any women to be especially not for Curley's wife. Curley seemed a little paranoid that day on the ranch when slim and her were missing. He shouldn't have to be worrying about her with another man. Hopefully this does not foreshadow future conflict with the men. What do you think? Do you think this foreshadows future conflict with men?

The main person that stood out to me was the farm owners son Curley. Throughout all of part two he was trying to make a fight with George an Lennie. Right as he walked in the door, "His arms gradually bent at the elbows and his hands closed into fists" (25). Curley was a small man and felt very intimidated by the bigger boys. As candy said in part two he was always looking to pick a fight with them. George and Lennie can not afford to get in a fight with Curley it will ruin there stay there. Throughout the chapter George has to keep reminding Lennie to stay away, "If he comes in here you move clear to the other side of the room" (29). This makes it clear that there is big possibility that both George or Lennie will get into a fight with Curley. I sure hope they don't!
