]]> 2021-05-06 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498937471 I really didn't expect George to be the one to kill Lennie https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498938705 I really didn't expect George to be the one to kill Lennie]]> 2021-05-06 16:15:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498938705 It was difficult to read the part where Lennie was killing Curley's wife, and repeatedly telling her to stop. https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498938796 2021-05-06 16:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498938796 As soon as Curley's wife mentioned soft stuff, my brain made the connection between the prior description of her curls to Lennie's obsession with soft things. I knew something was about to go down and it wouldn't end well. https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498939340 2021-05-06 16:16:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498939340 https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498940475 The realization George had about their dream being over was really interesting, especially with how it lead to Lennie's end and how calm he acted during it to remain humane]]> 2021-05-06 16:16:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498940475 When Lennie was shot, I had a really hard time processing what had just happened because it was so sudden, same goes for when Lennie kills Curly's wife, the situation just completely derailed. What a twist :( https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498940903 2021-05-06 16:16:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498940903 I couldn't believe tha https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498941195 2021-05-06 16:16:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498941195 I was surprised that George didn't just help Lenny run away or run away with him since he got to Lenny first. George also led everyone to Lenny when he could have just said that he did not know where Lenny was. I guess this was like the last straw. https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498941625 2021-05-06 16:16:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498941625 End of chapter 6 https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498943986 It shocked me when George killed Lennie especially since they were friends.]]> 2021-05-06 16:16:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498943986 I really didn't expect George to be the one to kill Lennie https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498948982 I understand why he did it, it was just really hard to read.]]> 2021-05-06 16:17:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498948982 Did George kill Lennie because he was truly tired of running, or because he just wanted to end all the trouble Lennie always seemed to cause? https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498952957 2021-05-06 16:18:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498952957 Assuming that george at first told them to go in the opposite direction from when lenny went...why did or how did they find him... https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498955195 2021-05-06 16:19:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498955195 https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498957033 George killing Lennie seemed almost merciful. George knew that Curley would have made Lennie suffer for what he did, and George didn't want that to happen to him]]> 2021-05-06 16:19:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498957033 I'm uneasy about how life will move on for George https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498958045 2021-05-06 16:19:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498958045 https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498962580 I think this is sort of obvious but I saw George killing Lenny as George killing the American Dream since it was really Lenny who had that dream. Even his last words are to remind him about the dream.]]> 2021-05-06 16:20:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498962580 I really wonder what was going on in George's mind https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498963635 2021-05-06 16:20:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498963635 I could tell something like this would happen from the beginning when George was ok with Lennie talking about their Dream farm having blue and green bunnies(since they are imaginary, I think George himself was already coming to terms with losing the dream) https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498964306 2021-05-06 16:20:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498964306 how did he kill him so easily... https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498970310 2021-05-06 16:21:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498970310 I found it interesting how Curly's wife was trying to have a heart to heart conversation with Lennie before he killed her. https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498988932 2021-05-06 16:25:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jflintbaum/j1xthe4nis9ekw14/wish/1498988932
