Chapter 3

Curley's wife is very mysterious and slightly scandalous. She is always somewhere she shouldn't be and I think she is going to cause a big problem later in the story. If this person had juicy red lips she would fit the description of Curley's wife perfectly.



Crooks is the only black man on the farm. He takes care of all of the horses in the stable. From a horse kicking him in the back, he has a hunched over back. He walks with his back almost flat and him looking up.



Whit is just an average farmer. His role in the story is to represent all of the others on the farm. He comes up when he is telling George what they do on weekends. This was just to show the normal life a farmer: work for money, take the money and spend it on alcohol and women.


The movie for this chapter I liked a lot better then the book. In the movie, it showed the scenes with a lot more excitement! The book conveys the same meaning and idea but in a much duller way. However the book does maintain its descriptions, with beautiful descriptions of almost everything. The line that Candy says, "I shouldn't ought to of let no stranger shoot my dog." I think that this line is going to be important later in the story. This might be important because someone else might die and they will also be shot by a stranger (even though everyone on the farm is a stranger to each other, other than Lennie and George). I felt bad for Candy to just hear the gun shot and not be able to do anything about it. If I was Candy, I wouldn't be able to let my dog be killed while i lay on my bed. Even if he was going to die sooner or later.
