10 Words to Describe Lennie

Bravery=> In the book Lennie was able to defend himself against Curley.



Loyalty=> George initially treated Lennie badly. He made him do stupid things because Lennie would do anything George said. I think this is terrible.



Simple=> In the book Lennie ask George why do cards have the same face whether or not there upside down.



Uncapable=>George treats Lennie like a child or a puppy, because he has to look out for him like you do a dog. I think it’s not right that he treats him like that, he may need to be watched after but he should still treat him like the real human being he is.

Glove fulla vaseline," he said disgustedly.Curley glared at him.His eyes slipped on past and lighted on Lennie; and Lennie was still smiling with delight at the memory of the ranch.Curley stepped over to Lennie like a terrier."What the hell you laughin' at?" Lennie looked blankly at him."Huh?" tard. Curley attacks Lennie ,assuming that Lennie is smiling at him.Curley thinks that Lennie enjoys the insults being given by Curleys expense.So Curley gives Lennie a bloody nose and hurts his stomach area.

Journal Post 1

Lennie was in a situation in the book where i realized that Lennie was a little simple. Lennie got out his bunk and sat downn at the table, across from George.Almost automatically George.Almost automatically George shuffled the cards and laid out a hand of solitaire.Lennie reached for a face card and studied it, then turned it upside down and studied it.Both then ends the same, than he ask George why is both ends the same. I realize that Lennie wasn't certain about alot of life's simple pleasures. By him asking George the answer to that made me realize either how simple or how curous George really was.
