Chapter 3 Pictures and Response




This is a photo i chose to use for Whit, a normal man that worked at the ranch. The book doesnt really describe much of Whit but this is what I found.




This picture represents Crooks in the book although this is a photo of a much older man, it just shows the similarities between them. They are both the same skin color and both tend to be lonely. Crooks has a hunch-back and thats where he got his name from; crooked back.



This picture represents Curley's wife in the book. She has a flirtatious, fancy look and she is the only women in the story. Curley's wife is very lonely even though she has a husband, they always fight. She wants a better life.

Chapter Response

Before I write much about what happened, I wanted to mention how much of an exciting and insightful chapter of the book it was. It really had me gripped because of how the author's usage of drama and detail. I realised a pattern in the book that kept repeating and I hadn't noticed it until it began to happen more than once. Lennie really loved soft things yet every soft animal he petted, he killed, which was pretty confusing. Something even more surprising is when he was feeling Curley's wife's hair, he ended up choking her to death. He didn't understand the strength he had. Carlson shoots Candy's old dog in the back of the head, this foreshadows how Lennie gets killed. When George shoots him at the back of the head. Reading these first three chapters and it has got me attached to this book so far!
