Of Mice and Men Photos and Response for Chapter 2

Chapter 2


The Boss, I thought that this picture fits because it just shows the typical cowboy authority/boss

My portrayal of Candy as Gandalf. I believe that Candy is exactly like Gandalf; both feel lonely and do not have a family, both are old, and both are very wise.



Candy's Dog








My interpretation of Curley. Even though the large man in this cartoon drawing does not represent Curely physically, he does represent his character. Curely is a very mean person who likes to bully around people because of his own lack of certain qualities; the stereotypical bully.



Curely's Wife


Rocker Paul Di'Anno as Carlson. I chose Di'Anno because Carlson is a big stomached man, as is this rocker.


My portrayal of Slim as Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden. Similar features include long hair and a hatchet face.


Response to Chapter 2:
Chapter 2, as I noticed while reading it, was put into the story in order for more of the plot to unveil itself, as well as all the characters becoming introduced to George and Lennie, who, so far, are uncomfortable in this ranch. Steinbeck purposely wrote this chapter so the George and Lennie get acquainted with their fellow ranchers as well as getting to know possible problems that may occur. Foreshadowing takes place a lot during this chapter, such as George telling Lennie to stay away from Curely and his wife, sensing that confrontations would lead to conflict. Overall this chapter helps establish more of the plot and begins to develop the main theme of loneliness and friendship.
