I think that he got put down for something bad.

# data[].attributes.body
he was put down because  he was old

# data[].attributes.body
The dog was put down bc they believed it was for the best that he were dead. Just like how George believed it was for the best for Lennie

# data[].attributes.body
It can symbolize Lennie as a foreshadowing because Candy was so sad about it and I just know George was sad about killing Lennie

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe the dog could symbolize Candy's past or the future for Lennie.

# data[].attributes.body
Because they were old

# data[].attributes.body
Why was Candy's dog put down?

# data[].attributes.body
No because George's dream was to have a farm with Lennie.

# data[].attributes.body
Lennie had no intention of ruining their dreams because he had the same dream as them.

# data[].attributes.body
No, since her mother knew what the letter was and Lennie killed her accidentally

# data[].attributes.body
No because Lennie didn't mean to kill her

# data[].attributes.body
No, because Lennie didn't intentionally do it but in general I guess you could say it ended up the same way since she couldn't achieve her dream

# data[].attributes.body
No because Curley's wife's mother was conscious about her actions, while Lennie isn't He didn't know that he would kill Curley's wife

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, i do think that he's like the mother but at the same time i don't

# data[].attributes.body
Yes I think Lennie could be like Curley's wife's mom because he does take away George and Candy's dream. The only difference is that Lennie wasn't doing it intentionally while the mother was.

# data[].attributes.body
Think about the way that Curley's Wife's mother prevented her from reaching her dream. Do you think that Lennie is like the mother?

# data[].attributes.body
She was very lonely, had no friends, no family. She knew that Lennie was very strong, I think she might of wanted to die but not in that way.

# data[].attributes.body
No, she knew that Lennie doesn't know how to control his strength, but wasn't expecting for him to touch her hair and accidentally snap her neck. Even with how she said that she didn't like Curley and wanted to go a different route in life, she still would have been given an opportunity in life to switch things up for her.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree. Its better to be lonely than be with people who ignore you. She knew that Lennie harmed Curley so it'd be hard to trust Lennie like that.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that she didn’t exactly want Lennie to kill her, but I did think she wanted to cause a problem. She also had nothing else to lose, she also lost everything and I believe she wanted take someone else down with her.

# data[].attributes.body
I mean if she wasn't happy living there and she knew the only way to get out is to die then yes

# data[].attributes.body
No, it was probably unexpected

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think so because she probably didn't know that Lennie would do so much harm

# data[].attributes.body
I don't believe that because why would you want to be dead.

# data[].attributes.body
No, because it was unexpected and plus she was the only girl and she got no name.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you believe that Curley's Wife had planned her death?

# data[].attributes.body
The story would be different if George died because how would Lennie survive without George. George is the one taking care of him

# data[].attributes.body
No, the story would be different because Lennie would be very sad and won't know what to do since George was always there to get Lennie out of trouble like what happen in Weed.

# data[].attributes.body
In some way yes, the story could probably end similarly. They both would feel guilty, sad, & lonely.

# data[].attributes.body
The story would be different because I don't think Lennie can take care of himself, George would always be  looking after him

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think the story would be the same without George because Lennie depends on George to guide him, and he'd be upset for he won't know what's right or wrong

# data[].attributes.body
The story would be very different and I don't think that Lennie would have gotten the job and he would probably do something bad and get thrown in jail.

# data[].attributes.body
No, if he died, Lennie would be by himself since George was with him for a part of his life and George has really helped out in situations, like when he told him to be quiet when they were first at the ranch.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes it would flip because there could have lost a really good friend. (if this dont sound right am tired)

# data[].attributes.body
No because I believe Lennie would have tried to kill whoever killed George. and Lennie would've probably died in the process.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think the story would be the same because George was Lennie's "guardian" and Lennie would've been lost and maybe wouldn't survive without George.

# data[].attributes.body
No it would be a completly diffrent story if George would have died the whole plot of the story would be changed

# data[].attributes.body
Would the story be the same if it was flipped and George was the one that was killed or if he died in Weed?

# data[].attributes.body
Would the storyWould story be the same if the storyth stry was flipped and Georgegeorge was the one that was killed,and if he died in Wweed.

# data[].attributes.body
Because Lennie knew that the pond would be a safe place to go to when there's trouble

# data[].attributes.body
To show how everything could change so fast how you always end up in the same spot

# data[].attributes.body
to show the difference were they where beginning for there full friendship. I think that when they first met them they where not to bad.

# data[].attributes.body
He started it an end it at the pond because he want signify there friendship

# data[].attributes.body
I think Steinbeck's want to start and end the story at the pond because the pond might be important or foreshadowing in the story. This might be a new chapter for George and Slim.

# data[].attributes.body
It was where we meet them first and where we last saw them together. -Ethan

# data[].attributes.body
I believe it shows significant value to George and Lennie's friendship. I think this because when we first met them they were at the lake and once Lennie died ending their friendship it was also at the lake.

# data[].attributes.body
To show how different they were at the beginning of the story compared to the end of the story.

# data[].attributes.body
Why did Steinbeck start the story and end at a pond?
