Words to describe chapter 3, long, detailed, exciting, hopeful, scary, dirty, sad, and happy. These are just a few of the words that really describe chapter 3, either in emotions you have or emotions, the characters are having.

“Make ‘um let me alone George”

How many times to we call out for help from “George”, asking to make them leave us alone? The reality of the situation is that we have to keep going, no matter what. In Lenny’s case it doesn’t count, he is just a child that can’t understand what is going on. In our own cases though we can understand and no matter how much people pick on us, or tell us they are there for us, the reality is we have to do it ourselves.

“I’ll break their God damn necks. I’ll… I’ll smash ‘em with a stick.”

I think we see the anger that can be in Lenny; here it is only subtle and innocent. The bad part is that he has the strength to do these things and if he gets caught up in the moment like he did against Curly, he can really hurt someone. Is Lenny dangerous? This question is important to ask, is he a danger to others? Is he able to control himself or be controlled? Lots of questions, lots of different answers, I don’t know if he is any more dangerous then any one else but, that still means that he is dangerous at least to a small degree.

“She’s gonna make a mess. They’s gonna be a bad mess about her.”

Once again George see’s things that the characters in the story aren’t paying much attention to. He recognizes over and over again the fact that the girl is trouble, and maybe he is right. Does George have any idea of how dangerous she could be? This question needs to be asked because if he does know, is anything that happens in the future, that could be stopped, on his head? If he knows about it, is it possible to stop future events? These are all questions that spawn from one main question that probably won’t be answered.
