This quote shows us that even though Lennie is too stupid to talk for himself and a lot of work to handle, George stays loyally by his side and helps him out. ]]> 2019-09-17 15:52:14 UTC https://padlet.com/davidblais48/lvrll42vwr6w/wish/385391384 davidblais48 https://padlet.com/davidblais48/lvrll42vwr6w/wish/385400217 "OK. Someday - we're gonna get the jack together and we're gonna have a little house and a couple of acres an' a cow and some pigs and ..." (32)

This quote gives us an idea of the dreams many workers during the great depression shared.]]> 2019-09-17 16:04:06 UTC https://padlet.com/davidblais48/lvrll42vwr6w/wish/385400217 davidblais48 https://padlet.com/davidblais48/lvrll42vwr6w/wish/385404349 "He stood up and walked dangerously towards Crooks, 'who hurt George?' He demanded.''(35 of PDF)

This quote shows us that Lennie really does care about George, he was really worried when Crooks made a joke about him not coming back.]]> 2019-09-17 16:09:12 UTC https://padlet.com/davidblais48/lvrll42vwr6w/wish/385404349 davidblais48 https://padlet.com/davidblais48/lvrll42vwr6w/wish/385404408 ''Tell ya what- know what he done Christmas? Brang a gallon
of whisky right in here and says, 'Drink hearty, boys. Christmas comes
but once a year.'"
"The hell he did! Whole gallon?"(41)

This quote shows us that the workers at Christmas time were content with a gallon of whiskey to share between themselves, during this time of extreme poverty, the workers didn't have the means to treat themselves regularly.]]> 2019-09-17 16:09:17 UTC https://padlet.com/davidblais48/lvrll42vwr6w/wish/385404408 davidblais48 https://padlet.com/davidblais48/lvrll42vwr6w/wish/385404513 "I seen hundreds of men come by on the road an’ on the ranches, with their bindles on their back an’ that same damn thing in their heads . . . every damn one of ’em’s got a little piece of land in his head. An’ never a God damn one of ’em ever gets it. Just like heaven. Ever’body wants a little piece of lan’. I read plenty of books out here. Nobody never gets to heaven, and nobody gets no land." (36 of PDF)

This quote shows us that many migrant workers shared the same dream as Lennie and George but, due to the terrible conditions of the Great Depression, few ever realized their dreams.]]> 2019-09-17 16:09:26 UTC https://padlet.com/davidblais48/lvrll42vwr6w/wish/385404513 davidblais48 https://padlet.com/davidblais48/lvrll42vwr6w/wish/387241268 Direct
