Part A: Third Quarter

I am pleased about the fact that they are including Candy in their plan to get land. This pleases me because Candy has money. Candy has at least $350 saved in the bank. This means that they won’t have to wait as long. Lennie was smiling because of the land when Curley came in, and Curley took that to mean that he was getting laughed at. Curley tried to beat Lennie but Curley got his hand crushed and broken. I have mixed feelings about this fight. I feel sorry for Lennie because he didn’t mean to hurt Curley. But also to Curley: what goes around comes back around. I also am fond of karma. Lennie goes and visits Crooks the negro stable buck. I think that it is unfair and racist that they will not let him live in the same bunkhouse as the white people. Crooks teases Lennie saying that George will not return. I think that Crooks was being cruel to Lennie, and I feel sorry for Lennie once again.
