Lennie+animal


 * __Question 2: __**** Kyle Van Cort **
 * __PART A: __**
 * 1: “ ****and he walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws." **
 * 2: “You’d drink out a the gutter if you was thirsty” **
 * 3: “Slowly, like a terrier who doesn’t want to bring a ball to it’s master, Lennie approached, drew back, approached again.” **
 * 4: “Good boy! That’s fine, Lennie! Maybe you’re gettin’ better.” **
 * __PART B: __**
 * I think he portrayed Lennie as an animal because he is the bigger slower character compared to George who is smaller and much more well rounded as a human being with good social and communication skills.

Question 2: Cristal Martinez** 1: "I could stay in a cat house all night long" 2: "Jesus Christ somebody shoot you for a coyote if you was by yourself" 3: "and he walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws" 4: "He dranked from the surface of the green pool; drank with long gulps, snorting into the water like a horse"

I think Steinbeck always portrayed Lennie as an animal because he would always act wild like an animal. Even though Lennie was a person he had animal qualities like, drinking from a pond, staying in a cat house and even calling himself a bad pet.

Four quotations that describe Lennie as an animal is “he dragged his feet the way a bear drags his paws.” “Snorting into the water like a horse.” “Somebody’d shoot you for a coyote if you were by yourself.” **“ ****Good boy! That’s fine, Lennie! Maybe you’re gettin’ better.” ** He wanted to tend the rabbits. He loved trying to take care of mice. I think Steinbeck chose to portray Lennie with animal-like qualities because of Lennies’s disabilities and shows that he doesn’t know too much.
