What variables factor into that justice? Whats most influential in deciding justice - ethics, the law, social status, intention, etc? https://padlet.com/wou_merjy1/67y1xv16dld8/wish/156281467 Yes it's true that the ranch has it's own kind of justice.They have their own set of rules without a higher order.

Is Slim justified in threatening Curley about letting anyone know what really went on? Why or why not? https://padlet.com/wou_merjy1/67y1xv16dld8/wish/156281799 Yes, Lennie doesn't know his own strength and it was in self defense.
No, he isn't because people would still have sympathy towards Lennie. ]]> 2017-02-26 22:35:21 UTC https://padlet.com/wou_merjy1/67y1xv16dld8/wish/156281799 3) Is it reasonable to let Slim be the arbiter of justice on the ranch? Does Slim make good decisions? https://padlet.com/wou_merjy1/67y1xv16dld8/wish/156281988 It is reasonable for Slim to be the arbiter of justice on the ranch because he doesn't have problems and his opinions are unbiased and unprejudiced. ]]> 2017-02-26 22:37:20 UTC https://padlet.com/wou_merjy1/67y1xv16dld8/wish/156281988 4) Did Curley's wife get what she deserved? https://padlet.com/wou_merjy1/67y1xv16dld8/wish/156282093 Yes, she was a very cruel person when she wanted to be. She threatened to have Crooks lynched. With the exception of the ending of the book, when she opened up to Lennie about her past and her hatred towards Curley.]]> 2017-02-26 22:38:33 UTC https://padlet.com/wou_merjy1/67y1xv16dld8/wish/156282093 Steinbeck suggest that mental disability shouldn't make someone immune to justice. https://padlet.com/wou_merjy1/67y1xv16dld8/wish/156917726 This is shown by Lennie being shot.
