Likewise, that being said, George killing Lennie and giving him one last happy memory was probably a lot better than the brutality he would have experienced otherwise. https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498228291 2021-05-06 14:03:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498228291 https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498229492 Did George know that something like this was definitely going to happen because he kept mentioning it to Candy. ]]> 2021-05-06 14:03:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498229492 It was totally unexpected, i overall thought that george and lennie were going to run away again not shoot him https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498230454 2021-05-06 14:03:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498230454 it made me sad that curley's wife couldn't achieve her dreams of being an actress and how badly she was treated when she was just lonely https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498231962 2021-05-06 14:03:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498231962 Not the ending I was expecting. https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498232100 2021-05-06 14:03:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498232100 https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498233601 the puppy :((]]> 2021-05-06 14:03:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498233601 https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498233836 If Curley's wife would've stopped screaming, then maybe Lennie would have not accidentally broke her neck]]> 2021-05-06 14:03:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498233836 https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498234508 George really said "I'm sorry little one"

]]> 2021-05-06 14:04:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498237084 Curley's wife https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498237146 I think no one care about Curley's wife's death. I love how Candy just immediately blames her for not being able to attain their dreams due to her death. I was like what was the point of that? she is already dead. I know she isn't a major character in the book, but at end of her character she was kind of made out to be human because she was ranting about her dream. She also said " I coulda made something myself, Maybe I will yet" and it was kinda dark. ]]> 2021-05-06 14:04:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498237146 omg can we talk about the foreshadowing? George felt the need to end Lennie himself because he knew how devastated Candy felt when someone else did what he should have with his dog. https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498237469 2021-05-06 14:04:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498237469 https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498238161 totally unexpected, i overall thought lennie and george were going to run away together again not shoot him]]> 2021-05-06 14:04:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498238161 https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498238227 "A small price to pay for salvation" 😈]]> 2021-05-06 14:04:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498238227 It was certainly an ending... everyone gets to be sad aaaaaa I thought it would end badly just not in this way It was more tragic then i thought https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498238683 2021-05-06 14:04:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498238683 https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498239012 Why did Curley want to kill Lennie so badly when he didn't seem to care about his wife that much anyways?]]> 2021-05-06 14:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498239012 I was really conflicted because I know Lennie didn't mean any harm, but he still killed someone. I don't think George had any other option, either Curley was going to shot him with the shotgun or throw him in jail. Letting Lennie die happy might've been the best choice. https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498240215 2021-05-06 14:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498240215 https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498240545 I'm glad George did it actually. It was almost like he was trying to take his suffering away, similar to the dog that was shot. If curley or someone else did it, they wouldn't have been so quick with it]]> 2021-05-06 14:05:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498240545 Frustrated and sad https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498241228 It kind of made me frustrated how the American Dream they have was killed by an accident. It was still murder, which is wrong. But some part of me thinks if Lennie was taken care of more then this wouldn't have happened. Which I assume is a theme for the Migrant workers. They should be taken care of, instead of casted aside.]]> 2021-05-06 14:05:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498241228 https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498243952 I hope George gets to live out their dream of getting a farm and raising the rabbits for Lennie]]> 2021-05-06 14:05:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498243952 https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/Bookmarks/wish/1498244006 George did what he had to do...

Sad that she died at the hands of lennie. I am a little bit disappointed at him and he is kind of selfish.
