This is a picture I made using Photoshop, showing a rabbit that popped up in Lennies head. It was a cruel and mean rabbit who shouted at Lennie using foul language because he relies on George too much and doesnt help him and things like that. The rabbit speaks in Lennies voice. It has waggling ears, and a crinkled nose.
Chapter 6 Response
The story ends in a sad way but I think without that ending it wouldn't have been as interesting as it was. As the ranch-hands are looking for Lennie to kill him because he had killed Curley's wife, he ran into the woods and met George there. Lennie asks George to talk about their farm and how everything will be okay soon. And as George talks about the farm and animals and how he will get to tend the rabbits, he takes out his gun and shoots him in the back of the head. This part was extremely shocking as I thought Lennie would be the one who survived since he was one of the main characters. George wanted him to be happy and he didn't want the others to kill him, so he wanted Lennie to die happy thinking about the wonderful things he had wished for. In the end, I had realised how every person in this book is lonely and has pretty much a problem. The theme of this book is loneliness and how all of them had troubles and dreams. Lennie and George only had eachother. Candy was getting old and useless, also living without his dog he raised since he was a puppy. Curley's wife, who disliked her husband and wished to be a star which she could have become. Crooks, the black man who was not allowed to go out of his little room and who was segregated from the whites, as they were very racist. These are only a few examples of the lonely people in this story. I think Steinbeck is a great author with great ideas in how to get a reader thinking. He really made the story have an excellent meaning to it and I am glad I had the opportunity to read and understand the true meaning of the book.
