George and Lennie are talking about Curley's wife and George says to Lennie, "Don't you ever take a look at that bitch"(Steinbeck 32).
ReplyDeleteCommenting on the fact that George and Lennie travel together: "Ain't many guys ... travel around together. I don't know why. Maybe ever'body in the whole damn world is scared of each other." Slim to George (Steinbeck 179)
ReplyDeleteCrooks and Candy talk about George and Lennie's dream of getting land and Crooks says, "Jesus, I seen it happen too many times. I seen too many guys with land in their head. They never get none under their hand"(Steinbeck 76).

ReplyDeleteLennie is talking to his puppy after he accidently kills it and says "Why do you got to get killed? (Steinbeck 85).
ReplyDeleteCandy says to George, “I ought to of shot that dog myself, George. I shouldn’t ought to of let no stranger shoot my dog” (Steinbeck 61) because he thinks that if somebody were to have killed his dog it should have been somebody that cared for him. This is like when George shoots Lennie because George knows that Curly is going to kill Lennie so he decided to kill Lennie himself because he felt that Lennie should have been killed by someone who cared.
ReplyDeleteWhen Lennie shares with Crooks his dreams of the ranch, Crooks replies with bitterness, "Nobody never gets to heaven, and nobody gets no land." (Steinbeck 74).
ReplyDelete"You seen what they done to my ... dog tonight? They says he wasn't no good to himself nor nobody else. When they can me here I wisht somebody'd shoot me. But they won't do nothing like that. I won't have no place to go, an' I can't get no more jobs."(Steinback 222)This is said by Candy after they have shot his dog while talking to George.
ReplyDeleteWhen George is talking to Slim about his and George's experience in Weed, Slim says to George "He ain't mean, I cal tell a mean guy a mile off" (Steinbeck 42).
ReplyDelete"You keep me in hot water all the time" (Steinbeck 11) (George to Lennie. In the scene they are running away from the old ranch and it shows how george always takes responsibility for Lennie.
ReplyDelete"You seen what you done to my dog?" (Steinbeck 222) said Candy to George after they shot the dog. This was when the dog was shot and Candy was saying that he should have shot the dog because he cared for him.
ReplyDeleteQuinn Abrams
"Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world. They got no family. They don’t belong no place. . . . With us it ain’t like that. We got a future. We got somebody to talk to that gives a damn about us. We don’t have to sit in no bar room blowin’ in our jack jus’ because we got no place else to go. If them other guys gets in jail they can rot for all anybody gives a damn. But not us."(Steinbeck 13-14) George explains this to Lennie as the start of the "rabbits" story. George and Lennie both hope to be someday rid of all this hard work and trouble and to settle down on a nice little ranch.
ReplyDeleteNear the end of the book Lennie remembered to go to the pond and wait in the brush if anything bad happened. When George found Lennie he tried to calm him down and told how it would be when Lennie would be able to tend the rabbits. George didn't want anyone to kill Lennie because of what he did to curly's wife, but he knew they would if he didn't do it him self. So, as George began to tell Lennie the story about how Lennie could tend the rabbits George said to Lennie, "Look acrost the river, Lennie, an' I'll tell you so you can almost see it" (Steinbeck 105). As soon as George finished telling the story he told Lennie how much he cared for him and proceeded to shoot him in the back of the head. But, he did it in the most respectable way possible, he left Lennie in one of the happiest moments of his life.
ReplyDeleteAfter George meets Curley, he sais "This guy Curley sounds like a son-of-a-bitch to me. I dont like mean little guys" (Steinbeck 27).
ReplyDelete"I seen too many you guys. If you had two bits in the worl', why you'd be gettin' two shots of corn with it and suckin' the bottom of the glass. I know you guys," (Hansberry 79). Candy was telling Curley's wife how George, Lennie, and him were going to get land and make something of themselves once they get enough money collected.
ReplyDelete"I didn't wanta hurt him" (Steinbeck 64). Lennie said this to the whole group but also to him self after he broke Curley's hand. It shows how he is hurting things but truely trying not to.
ReplyDeleteWhen Lennie flees to the river after killing Curley's wife, he images his Aunt Clara in front of him. Aunt Clara's ghost tells Lennie, "You never give a thought to George, He been doin' nice things for you alla time. When he got a piece of pie you always got half or more'n half. An' if they was any ketchup, why he'd give it all to you" (Steinbeck 101).
ReplyDeleteLennie tries to go into Crook's room and Crook says, "You got no right to come in my room. This here's my room. Nobody got any right in here but me"(Steinbeck 68).
ReplyDeleteBeneatha is having a conversation with Walter about her dreams and about what she wants to become. Beneatha sarcastically says to Walter, (Dropping to her knees) "Well - I do - all right? - thank everybody! And forgive me for ever wanting to be anything at all! (Pursuing him on her knees across the floor) FORGIVE ME, FORGIVE ME, FORGIVE ME!" (Hansberry 37).
ReplyDeleteAfter George shoots Lennie, the other guys come running because they heard the shot. Immediately after, Slim says to George, "Come on George. Me an' you'll go in an' get a drink" (Steinbeck 107). This shows how the death of Lennie did not effect Slim at all. He just went on living his normal life.
ReplyDeleteWhen Lennie is by the water, and George has the gun about to shoot him when George says, "No Lennie. I ain't mad. I never been mad, an' I ain't now. That's a thing I want you to know."(Steinbeck 106).
ReplyDeleteWhen Slim finds George standing over Lennie's dead body he says to George, "Never you mind. A guy got to sometimes."(Steinbeck 107).
ReplyDeleteBefore George and Lennie reaches the bunkhouse, George tells Lennie if he gets into any trouble at all come to the exact spot and hide in the brush and to, "Hide in the brush till I come for you" (Steinbeck 15). A foreshadowing of what will eventually happen.
ReplyDeleteCandy is talking to Lennie about the money that they're saving up and the land that they're going to buy. Crooks jumps in and challanges Candy's statement by talking about greed. Candy responds with "Sure they all want it. Everybody wants a little bit of land, not much. Jus' somethin' that was his" (Steinbeck 76).
ReplyDeleteLennie and Curley's wife are talking in a barn when Curley's wife says to Lennie "You're nuts, but you're a kinda nice fella. Jus' like a big baby" (Steinbeck 90).
ReplyDelete"Why you got to get killed?" Lenny says to his dead puppy, shortly after accidentally killing it (Steinbeck 85).
ReplyDeleteLennie was begging George to tell Candy about the house that they were going to have. Candy wanted to get in on the deal that they had. "s'pose i went with you guy, thats three hundred and fifty bucks right ther i'd put in." Candy then asks how much they have and they had ten bucks, so that is three hundred and sixty dollars. They decided they were going to wait a month and not spend any of the money so they could buy the house for four hundred and fifty dollars. (Steinbeck 59)
ReplyDeleteGeorge tells Lennie this right before he shoots Lennie. "No, Lennie. I ain't mad. I never been mad, an' I ain't now. That's a thing I want ya to know" (Stienbeck 106). Lennie is easy to get mad at but this quote shows how much George actually cared for Lennie no matter what. It shows that George had to do what he had to do for Lennie's sake.
ReplyDeleteGeorge and Lennie are at the ranch and Curly is questioning them. George won't let Lennie talk and answers all his questions. Curly then says to Lennie, "By christ,he's gotta talk when he's spoke to." (Steinbeck26)
ReplyDeleteCandy is telling George what will happen to Lennie after they found out Lennie killed Curley's wife. "We oughta let'im get away you don't know that Curley. Curley gon'ta wanta get 'im lynched Curley'll get 'im killed" (Steinbeck 101)
ReplyDelete"You gonna give me that mouse or do I have to sock you?" said George. Lennie found a mouse and he pet it so hard that he killed it. George told him to get rid of it but he liked the way it felt when he rubbed. George said this quotation when he found out that Lennie still had the mouse.
ReplyDelete"Say it over to yourself, lennie, so you wont forget it"(Steinbeck 29). George said to lennie to make sure he remembered to say nothing to the boss, and keep his mouth shut.
