Reflection: "Carlson was not to be put off. 'Look, Candy. This ol' dog jus' suffers hisself all the time. If you was to take him out and shoot him right in the back of the head-' he leaned over and pointed, '-right there, why he'd never know what him."' Page 45.
In this quote a character named Carlson was telling Candy that he should shoot his dog. This is because he is old. He can't see very well, he can't really hear, and he can barley walk. He smells very bad and they feel bad. Candy is in love with his dog and he doesn't want him to. The theme in this part so far is euthinasia. This is because other people want to kill the dog for it's own good. If the dog goes down then it will be in a better place and not have a miserable death.
Prediction: In the book so far, Lennie and George have made it to the Bunkhouse where they will work and get paid. George started to talk to Candy about their dream they have when they have the money. Candy then tells them about the money he has saved and how much he gets paid. He asks if he can go work with them. I predict that they will get them farm and Candy will come with them. Once they get there they won't be able to sell enough and make enough money to uphold the farm. Lennie will get mad at George and George will get mad a t Lennie. They will then all go back to the bunkhouse to see if they can get their jobs back.
Questions: At the end of the chapter Curley goes after Slim when he is in the barn because he thinks that he is with his wife, but he isn't. Why is Slim and his wife always looking for each other? They should know where the other is. Also, why does Slim always think that one of the guys is with his wife? Does he think that they are better looking and will get more from her than he will himself? What is his problem?
