Of Mice and Men

1. Was it OK for George to encourage Lennie to fight Curley? Could there have been another solution? If so, be clear about what that solution might have been.

I think it wasn't right that George told Lennie to fight with Curley.
They could of solved the problem by talking it over. Or they just didn't have to get in a fight and just things how they were. Curley could of got really hurt, even maybe killed.

2. It's true that Lennie doesn't TRY to get into trouble, but he always does anyway. Considering this, do you think Lennie should be working at all? Should he be in a special institution away from society?

Yes i think Lennie should be in a special institution. I don't think he should be working. He could get hurt working or can hurt other people. If he does work he should have people taking care of him when he is. Lennie doesn't really mean what he does or doesn't know what he's doing sometimes.

3. Curley is a boss like his dad, which is probably why he has to be mean to his workers. Without being aggressive and showing his power, do you think would he still get respect from his workers?

I would think Curley wouldn't get respected because people would think of him just like any other person. People just respect him because he's the boss and he could fire people, and people want they're jobs. He wouldn't really get the respect he is getting now.

4. In your opinion, do you think it's OK that Curley's Wife flirts with Slim?

In my opinion I do not think its right. She is already a married woman and she not suppost to be flirting with other guys. Curley's wife should just stick to Curley and no other men. She should respect her marriage and not going around and talking toi other guys.
