Post being introduced to their.
quarters and some of their bunk mates. they meet the boss and they.
excecute the tension filled process of the interview for the job. George.
does most if not all of the talking obviosly for fear of Lennie saying.
something that would cost them the emplyment which they badly needed.
Luckily, they manage to land the jobs. Not long after, Lennie has his.
first run in with Curley , the bosses son but nothing happens. They learn.
about Curley's tarty wife and her exploits with the "eye" and George.
realises that the potential touble makers are Curley and his wife. they.
both could make Lennie do something bad and George warns Lennie about.
this. The following scences are insignificant introductions to the smaller.
less important characters.
They feel their dreams start to materialise after Candy decides and is.
allowed to join them. While they discuss the financial aspects of.
purchasing the land, the rest of the bunkers come in the form of Slim and.
Carlson along with Curley. There was a disagreement between Slim and.
Curley and he (Curley ) hadd all this mounted stress and tension that he.
unloaded onto Lennie for no reason. After a few minutes of passive.
resistance to Curley's beatings and George's encouragement to hit him.
back, Lennie grabs a hold of Curley's fist and breaks it. This was their.
last confrontation as Curley had no choice but to back down or be.
emabarrased. Everyone except Lennie then decides to go to Soledad ( a.
nearby town) to help Curley fix up his hand and Lennie goes to have a chat.
with Crooks, the black stable-boy about the precious puppies, one of which.
had been given to Lennie by Slim.
The next day is the moment of truth. sitting alone in a barn, mourning.
the death of his puppy which he killed because it tried to bite him,.
Lennie is approached by Curley's wife. Remembering that George said not to.
talk to her. Lennie tries his best but ends up doing so in his own.
childish manner, telling her about his rabbits that George won't let him.
