Lennie+trouble

Samantha Whalen: “An’ you ain’t gonna do no bad things like you done in Weed, neither.” “God, you’re a lot of trouble,” said George. “I could get along so easy and so nice if I didn’t have you on my tail. I could live so easy and maybe have a girl.” “…Well, look. Lennie- if you jus’ happen to get in trouble like you always done before, I want you to come right here an’ hide in the brush.” The quotations indicate Lennie needs George to help him through. And without the guidance of George he will get himself in trouble because he doesn’t fully understand what’s right, and what’s wrong.

 Sandy Ramos- 1. “God you’re a lot of trouble,” said George. “ I could get along so easy and so nice if I didn’t have you on my tail. I could live so easy and maybe have a girl.” 2. An’ you ain’t gonna do no bad things like you done in Weed, neither.” 3. “You never oughta drink water when it ain’t running, Lennie” The kind of trouble that these quotations indicate is that Lennie is a bother to everyone by how he behaves and acts.

Question 3: Find three quotations that give a hint or clue as to what kind of trouble Lennie may get in as the book progresses. Explain what kind of trouble that quotation indicates.

“”O.K---O.K. I’ll tell ya again. I ain’t got nothing to do. Migh jus’ as well spen’ all the time tellin’ you things and then you forget ‘em, and I tell you again.” This quotation explains that Lennie is very forgetful. There might come a time where he will forget something that was really important and it will be a problem.

“You crazy son-of-a-bitch. You keep me in hot water all the time.” This quotation indicates that Lennie’s behavior has caused many problems for George. And he will continue to do so because he doesn't know right from wrong.

“An’ you ain’t gonna do no bad things like you done in Weed, neither.” This indicates that Lennie has a history of violence.

Karina Matute “Jus’ wanted to feel that girl’s dress…jus’ wanted to pet it like it was a mouse” (pg. 11) “You can’t keep a job and you lose me ever’ job I get” (pg.11) This indicates that Lennie can’t control his feelings and because of that he can never keep a job and he always gets in trouble.
