Of Mice and Men - Chapter 2

Boss:












The Boss was a fat, well dressed man. He was in charge of the ranch. To prove that even more he wore spurs just to show that he wasn't a working man.We didn't see him a lot in the story, I think only once. But he seemed like a kind man. Also his son was Curley.

Candy:



















Candy was an old worn out rancher whose only job was to sweep. He had one of his hands cut of in a machine. The only thing he cared about was his dog. When it gets shot he becomes depressed and doesn't know what to do with himself.

Candy's dog:













Candy's dog is an old worn out sheep dog that gets shot pretty early in the book. It gets shot because the men in the cabin are saying that he is smelly, worthless, and say that it is just bad to make him keep living.

Curely:



















Curley was a mean guy. He was the bosses son and acted like the world should do everything he tells it to. Also he used to be a boxer. Curley had something against big guys that was why he didn't like Lennie at all. Curley also wears high helled boots to distinguish him from the field hands.

Carlson:



















He complained about Candy's smelly dog and asks for permission to shoot him. In the end he wins and shoots it. I noticed that he always went to Slim for some advice, it seemed like he really looked up to him.


Slim:



















Slim was a tall, jerk line skinner with long black hair. Whenever he walked into a room he did it gracefully even for his size. Whenever he talked everyone listened, and not only did they listen they believed what he was saying. In the end he and George are really close friends, equals.

Personal Response:
This chapter really had me interested because there were a lot of new characters being introduced. There was some dialogue that really showed the way the people talked. The dialect was really interesting, it's something I am not used to. The moment Steinbeck introduced Curley I didn't like him. He had no right to be so mean to Lennie. There also was a lot of tension between George and Curely's wife, he was so mean to her but I understand it was because he didn't want to get into trouble with Curley. I didn't figure out the theme yet but I have a feeling that Lennie will do something wrong as he ussually does.
