"I could get along so easy and so nice if I didn't have you on my tail. I could live so easy..." kennedi_davis https://padlet.com/kennedi_davis/qh97897m0srr/wish/165134089 Page 4.

George expresses his frustration with Lennie, showing us that he can be a burden for George and his hopes of a successful life. However, despite Lennie being difficult, George decides to stick by him.]]> 2017-04-06 13:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kennedi_davis/qh97897m0srr/wish/165134089 "You can't keep a job and you lose me ever' job I get...You get in trouble. You do bad things and I got to get you out..." kennedi_davis https://padlet.com/kennedi_davis/qh97897m0srr/wish/165134949 Page 6.

This line shows us that Lennie, in the past, has made it difficult for him and George to hold a solid job. Perhaps this means that they will run into some more probems at this new ranch that they hope to work at.]]> 2017-04-06 13:38:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kennedi_davis/qh97897m0srr/wish/165134949 "I wouldn't eat no ketchup if it was right here beside me...I'd leave it all for you" kennedi_davis https://padlet.com/kennedi_davis/qh97897m0srr/wish/165135478 Page 6.




This line shows just how much Lennie values his and George's friendship. Lennie would give up a luxury of ketchup on beans, just so George could have more.]]> 2017-04-06 13:39:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kennedi_davis/qh97897m0srr/wish/165135478 "Lennie- if you jus' happen to get in trouble like you always done before, I want you to come right here an' hide in the brush" kennedi_davis https://padlet.com/kennedi_davis/qh97897m0srr/wish/165136235 Page 8.

As George and Lennie are situated around their campfire, George tells Lennie that if he ever got in trouble, then he should go back to that spot. This moment presents a feeling of foreshadowing for a future event.]]> 2017-04-06 13:41:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kennedi_davis/qh97897m0srr/wish/165136235 "I'd pet 'em... I pinched their heads a little and then they was dead- because they was so little...I wisht we'd get the rabbits pretty soon, George. They ain't so little" kennedi_davis https://padlet.com/kennedi_davis/qh97897m0srr/wish/165137023 Page 5.







Lennie likes to pet mice because they are a comfort tool for him. However, he always ends up crushing them because of their small size and his obliviousness to his own strength. So, Lennie has developed an obsession over getting rabbits instead.]]> 2017-04-06 13:44:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kennedi_davis/qh97897m0srr/wish/165137023 'The first man was small and quick, dark of face, with restless eyes and sharp, strong features. Every part of him was defined: small, strong hands, slender arms, a thin and bony nose. Behind him walked his opposite, a huge man, shapeless of face, with large, pale eyes, and wide, sloping shoulders; and he walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws. His arms did not swing at his sides, but hung loosely.' kennedi_davis https://padlet.com/kennedi_davis/qh97897m0srr/wish/165268936 Page 2.

This passage introduces and describes the two main characters of this story, Lennie and George.]]> 2017-04-06 21:18:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kennedi_davis/qh97897m0srr/wish/165268936 "Your Aunt Clara wouldn't like you running off by yourself, even if she is dead." kennedi_davis https://padlet.com/kennedi_davis/qh97897m0srr/wish/165269496 Page 7.

This statement made by George informs us that Lennie's previous caretaker, his Aunt Clara, is dead. So, the responsibility of Lennie has now been placed on George's shoulders.]]> 2017-04-06 21:22:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kennedi_davis/qh97897m0srr/wish/165269496 "We got a future... 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..." kennedi_davis https://padlet.com/kennedi_davis/qh97897m0srr/wish/165269728 Page 7.

Here, George is retelling Lennie his plans for their future, his dreams of living a comfortable lifestyle on a ranch of his own.
