Chapter 2 Response

In this chapter we were introduced to many new characters. The Old Swamper, Curley, Slim, Carlson, and Curley's wife. What is surprising is that in the movie the Old Swamper in quickly introduced as Candy, but in the book he is known as the Old Man or Old Swamper. I think this is because in the book the author wants him to be known as not an important character. Once the Lennie and George get into their shared room they meet Curley. Who is a small guy, who picks on big guys. I think I can relate to him since he is small and I'm small in size too, and how both of us can big on people who are taller than us; knowing that nothing bad could happen to us. Curley's wife seemed to be quite flirty when she went "looking" for her husband and met George and Lennie. I think that she and George will have a connection of some sort because Lennie seemed to be really interested in her. In the movie we still have not seem what Curley's wife looks like; the same with Carlson and Slim. I foreshadow that something bad will happen, because Lennie is already not liking where he is and wants to leave. As well as the story is like "The Scarlet Ibis" how the brother was pushing Doodle. Only in "Of Mice and Men" George is like the brother and Doodle is like Lennie. Both Doodle and Lennie are handicapped, and I predict something bad will happen to George and Lennie or just Lennie.
