Key Quotes
"We travel together," said George coldly. 
"Oh, so it's that way"
George was tense and motionless. "Yea, it's that way."
By Curley's reaction we can infer that he assumed the men were gay because they traveled together. This shows how narrow minded Curley is when he is not capable to understand the men's friendship.]]> 2017-09-29 12:56:22 UTC https://padlet.com/moparkey20/8g3l1nbvmmda/wish/192425593 moparkey20 https://padlet.com/moparkey20/8g3l1nbvmmda/wish/192427218 Book Information
