Of Mice & Men: Blog 3

Chapter 3 Response

Crooks:

In the third chapter of the book Steinbeck doesn't really give Crooks a description. He's just there to ask Slim about the warm tar for the mule's foot. So all we really no about Crooks is that he's a nigger, or a black man whichever way you choose to put it, that he works with the horses, and works in the barn. So right now in the chapter Crooks is pretty enigmatic.

Similar to Crooks, Slim doesn't have a description given by Steinbeck at all in this chapter. All Slim does is persuade George to check out Suzy's place. Other than that we have no idea what he looks like, so for now he's the "Mystery Man".

Curley's Wife:



Steinbeck gives a specific description of Curley's wife. I chose Scarlet Johanson because her look portrays Curley's wife to the point where you have to do a double take. And even though in the movie it shows Curley's wife with blackish brownish kind of hair. Let's just imagine that Scarlet's hair is like that..

Hey, Blog. Did you ever notice that it actually states where George and Lennie were born, but in the movie they don't establish that thought. I think that part of the chapter is essential to the story because the two characters explain how they move around and about to places because of Lennie's "trouble-making" habits. But to actually know where they started out makes more of an affect on you if you knew what place they're talking about, and where they are at that moment. It shows how much they've moved and how far they've come from. And how hard they strive to make their fifty, and roll out.
Wow, rabbits. I cannot believe a grown man would go on like that over a mouse, nevertheless a rabbit. That seems really.. Yeah, never mind. But, thinking of how he is mentally deficient it isn't a weird or funny. But, the fact that he's so into the rabbits. &Then puppies, I mean what does he not cherish? he loves these animals so much that when he tries to show love and compassion, they end up dead. I know that sounds terrifying, but isn't it the truth?
