Chapter 2 Note Taking

1. Question: Besides Lennie and George there are new characters. Candy, the boss, Curley, Slim and Curley's wife. Also, now they aren't on the road anymore, they are at the bunkhouse. Where they are going to start working. I'm wondering why Curley is so mean to guys that are bigger than him? Why couldn't he just be nice so there were no problems.

2. Prediction: I'm already starting to think that something is going to happen between Curley and Lennie because George is talking about how Lennie should stay away from Curley it a lot which makes me think it will eventually be important. And I think that Lennie is going to get himself into some trouble because like George said, he's not very bright so it could lead to him doing something not so smart.

3.Summarize: As the chapter began Lennie and George arrived at the bunkhouse. When they got there they met Candy and he began to get to know them. When the boss came in he told them what to to and as soon as he came he left. But when Curley, the boss's son comes and sees them he begins to be rude to Lennie which shows that he is having some problems with them. Then we learn about his wife and how their relationship is. And finally we meet Slim. Many characters were introduced so there was a lot of new information in this chapter.

This is a picture of how men lived in a bunkhouse.
