Chapter Five: No more rabbits for Lennie
Predict:
Imagine:
The barn has large amounts of sunlight streaming in through the cracks in the roof and the walls, Lennie is silently rocking back and forth in a fit of outstanding sadness, as the realization of the fact that George won't let him tend to the rabbits if he finds out what he did to the small puppy. He never meant for the small thing to get hurt, it's like the mouse all over again. He only meant to tap it on the nose as if to scold it for nipping him. Yet he ended up snapping the poor thing's neck, resulting in it's death.
Clarify:
I feel like Curley's wife goes to Lennie for the fact that she feels like he isn't as intimidating as the other men, she feels like she can confide in him, her darkest secrets, and her whole truths to her life. She may only be doing it to anger Curley or George, or she may be on the mission to get all the men fired for all attacking Curley, yet last chapter, she says that she's happy that Lennie taught Curley a lesson before she did.

Nothing that i can remember or can even relate to something to this scene or chapter has happened. The only thing I can think of is how when a loved one dies, the family and friends attempt to take solace in the fact that if the person's death was fast and painless. That it was quick and fast, and that they weren't alive throughout the rest of the process.
Review:
Now that were towards the end of the book, we learn how much damage Lennie can actually do if someone screams about something, or if a animal goes to nip him. In both situations, he tried to cover both problems with hay, and then bolts from the farm in precaution. Soon everyone on the farm knows what Lennie has done, and Curley seems to be out for the blood of Lennie. And probably to get back at Lennie for crushing his hand.
- Lennie is sitting in the barn, next to a small patch of hay with one of the puppies on it, yet it's dead, due to Lennie smacking it over the head when it went to nip him.
- Lennie starts trying to come up with ideas on where to put the puppy so George can't find it, and in turn, making it so he can still tend to the rabbits when they get the farm.

Try:
- Could Curley's wife be nicer than everyone thinks she is? Or is all of it a long and thought out plan?
- Why do people let Lennie alone with soft things, or even let him touch nice things is all he ever does is break them, or end up killing them?
- Why does everyone suspect the worse when they find Curley's wife half covered in hay? Why wouldn't they try to see it from another point of view?
