Of Mice And Men Ch.1

Today we just finished reading Of mice and men, Chapter 1. So far its about two wanderers named Lennie, George. Lennie is Huge but kind of stupid and he forgets things easily. George on the otherhand is the brains of the group and somehow gets them out of every situation they seem to get into. At the start of the book they are both walking back from a job they just did at a ranch. They settle down and they both start to talk about the job and discussed what the plan was for their next day. After a while George seems to see Lennie pull somthing out of his pocket. It turns out to be a mouse, A Dead one too. Lennie was stroking it and had to give it up to George who then threw it out somewhere in the brush. They begin walking a bit more and come to a site where a fire previously had been. George orders Lennie to get firewood, Which he reculantly does. A while later Lennie returns with a small stick, His feet wet. George knows that Lennie crossed the river to look for the mouse he threw, So he orders Lennie to give it up. After a while of discussion and agreements the mouse is no more. A Couple minutes later George starts ranting about how his life would be without Lennie. Poor Lennie says he might just go live in a cave if George doesnt want him. George says that he needed Lennie, Its just that he went ahead and did whatever he want and come up with lame excuses. As George starts ranting again he just decides to leave it at that, He opens two cans of beans with his knife then gives Lennie a spoon and they both go ahead and eat.
