Of mice and men
IN DEPTH-MEANINGS
Ranches where dogs are really important to get the sheeps. and horses were often used since they needed to cover bigger ideas.
In this time and community they are not calling the police when somebody does wrong, they are getting on the horseback and fixing the problems themselves.
George could have lost his life and he lost his job, but he still takes care for Lennie. He really cares about him and know that Lennie needs his help.
The nature is beautiful, but the environment is awful
Lennie loves petting soft things, but since he don't have a lot of common sense it can be a bit hard and end up killing the animal
-
The cards, Lennie wonders why the cards have them same symbol in the top and in the bottom. No one of the other guys have seen this, why does Lennie wonder about this? maybe he has such feelings for things that he thinks all the small things matters.

-
Lennie drinks like an animal, like the dog, not productive/handicapet like the old dog, both get killed
WHAT HAVE HAPPENDED
They have arrived the ranch and started working. George have met this nice worker and built a little friendship with him. Lennie is really strong and works really well.
The guy with one hand lost his dog and are really sad, things changed a bit after that. The dog was really old, and one guy in the barn told him to shoot the dog. he did not want to, but the guy kind of forced him and took the dog out.
-
The son of the boss was mad because he could not find his wife, he then punched Lennie several times. Lennie did not do anything, but suddenly took the guys hand and smashed it.
George and Lennie were talking about their dream when the man with one hand listened. He said he could help with a lot of money and now the three of them are saving up to live out the dream together.
While the other boys were out playing, Lennie were in the barn petting the dog. He was too hard and the dog died. He cried and was cared he did not get to tame the rabbits. This is when Curley's wife comes in.
Curley's wife starts talking to Lennie and makes him pet her hair. He gets a little ruff and she wants him to stop and not ruin her hair. She starts screaming and Lennies instinct is to stop her from screaming so George dont hear her. He held her too tight and she gets killed.
The guys found out that it is Lennie who killed her and are going on a hunt to find him and kill him. George go on his on and finds Lennie before the others. George finds him at their place in the bushes, and Lennie wants him to talk about their dream. He does that but in the middle of Lennie talking about rabbits he shoots him. George are crying
George do not want to kill Lennie, he really loves him and likes being with him. I think that the reason George killed Lennie is because he wanted him to not be scared and have a good time his last time. He maybe wanted him to talk about the thing he loves so he died when he was happy. It was really hard for him to do it, but maybe he felt it was his only option.
