of mice and men CH.1

May 15th, 2008 by buzhidao

  • “The first man was small and quick, dark of face, with restless eyes and sharp, strong features. Every part of him was defined: small, strong hands, slender arms, a thin and bony nose. Behind him walked his opposite, a huge man, shapeless of face, with large, pale eyes, with wide, sloping shoulders; and he walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws. His arms did not swing at his sides, but hung loosely” (2).

    •           The two men are huge different. One is small and quick. The other one is large, pale eyes, and walked hevily. they are kind opposite from each other. From this I think there relationship is helper which means they are going to help each other and to look after each other.

  • “I’d pet ‘em, and pretty soon they bit my fingers and I pinched their heads a little and then they was dead – because they was so little” (10).

    •          He just pinched their heads a little bit; and they were dead. what a strong man he was. Could not he control himself? Anyway why did he like mice very much.

  • “Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world. . . . With us it ain’t like that. We got a future. We got somebody to talk to that gives a damn about us. . . . because I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that’s why” (14).

    •       what kind future did we plan for? if looking after each other was the reason why they were different with the loneliest guys in the world. How was Lennie going to look after George with his “stupid brain” and bad memory.

  • “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” (15).

    •       what kind trouble Lennie always done before. I think the troubles should be really serious. if not, why they needed to run, to hide and to look for the other jobs in the other place? The troubles may related with his accustoms which are interesting on mice and having a bad memory.
