Of Mice & Men: Blog 2

Chapter 2 Response


I chose to place a yellow bouquet of flowers because it symbolizes friendship. But in this case I'm using it to symbolize acquaintance.

In chapter two Lennie and George get better acquainted with the ranch and the people in it. Candy shows his hospitality towards the two by showing them around their bunk, where the boss stays, by informing them of what they were going to receive, and also explaining to them the other workers job-titles and personalities. After Candy shows George and Lennie where to reach the boss it isn't like a normal meet and greet. They get grilled at for being late, and not being able to do that mornings work. After all the anger is let out the confrontation transforms into a conversation. Also in this chapter Curley tries to act all "big and bad" towards Lennie. There are two other men in the room, but all that matters to Curley is the big guy that stands out in size just because he's smaller than them. George protects Lennie, as usual, while showing Curley that himself and Lennie aren't playing around.

This owl symbolizes Candy. I chose an owl because they're known to be wise, like Candy. Candy is old, and wrinkled. He can barely work on the ranch anymore, but he tries. And even though he can't do much work on the ranch he still is very intelligent.

This picture symbolizes what Curley wishes he could do to everyone bigger than him. He confronts Lennie in a way that is so treacherous that he might as well of done what's in the picture towards him.

Slim is the leader, and everyone believes him because they know he's trustworthy. Slim's appearance is kind of like Curley's. He's small, yet older looking. To symbolize Slim I chose an elf because they can always be trusted to get Santa's presents into the sleigh in time for Christmas, and are also small.

I chose Lucy from the sitcom 7th Heaven. Like Lucy, Carlson is someone with a great sense of humor, and is affable. They are both the kind of person that asks a question because he cares about the answer, not just to ask a question.
