I found the second reading of the book to be very interesting and eventful. George and Lennie are on the new ranch and have 10 bucks between them. Now days people have more than 30 bucks in their pockets when they go anywhere.
When curley walks in and picks a fight with Lennie i feel that lennie has become a better listener overal because he didnt try to defend himself until Geroge screamed bloddy murder at Lennie to defend himself and fight back against the attack of the fireball Curly. I also think that Curly has learned a lesson about picking fights with bigger guys. This makes me think that now maybe Curley will be canned if he slips up and spilles the beans about the fight thaT took place between them in the bunk house. I think that Curly will tell someone what happened and that he will get fired and his wife will leave him and no body will even care about what happens to him next.

Of mice and Men chapters 1 and 2 August 23, 2010
Of Mice and Men
I read the first 2 chapters in Of Mice and Men of this weekend and found that the two main characters are a lot like the two burglars on the Home alone movies. In fact one of them is actually named George in the movies. For example when Lennie does something wrong George yells at him. In the Home alone movies When Harry does something wrong George yells at him. I think you could switch the characters from the movie to the book to the movies and you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference in relationships to their rolls. I think that because in both cases here you have a brain and a brawn. In the book George being the brain of the operation and Lennie being the brawn.
I think George is being fair in not letting Lennie talk when they arrive at the ranch. I think that because it sounds like Lennie has kind of messed up every other job they have had over the time span they have been traveling together. If I was George I would make sure Lennie never gets to speak when they are arriving at a ranch or job. It would be like letting my younger brother do my homework, it wouldn’t turn out in a positive way for the both off us. On the other hand I do think George is a little on the harmful side when it comes to just talking to Lennie around the camp fire at night or when Lennie asks a simple question or makes a statement . That is unfair to Lennie to not have the right to talk when no one else is around to hear besides George.
