Of Mice and Men part 2

Today in our reading, we learned about Curley, and the kind of relationship he has with Lennie. He's like a bully to Lennie. He knows that he can pick on him without any consequences. "S'pose Curley jumps a big guy and licks him. Everybody says what a game guy he is. And s'pose he does the same thing and gets licked. Then ever'body says the big guy oughtta pick somebody his own size, and maybe they gang up on the big guy." Because of this, he can be mean, rude, and do anything he wants to to the big guy. But he can get away with even more with Lennie. He's too much of a softy. "Lennies eyes were frightened. 'I don't want to trouble,' he said plaintively. 'Don't let him sock me George.'" He's too afraid to take car of things himself. That's just the kind of he is. Maybe that's why George wants to take care of him.
