5 questions between the line.

1)why did slim and george reffer to lennie as a hard worker but not so bright?

slim and george were reffering to lennie as slow and not so bright but they said he was a real hardworker. "maybe he aint bright, but i never seen such a hardworker". he was one of the strongest men working at the ranch but he wasnt really that smart.

2)why was curlys wife always around the other guys?
i think curly was around the other guys on the farm a lot becuase of what happened to her before she married curly. i think she was still upset that she didnt receive that phone call about becoming a movie star so she took a chance and married curly. i dont think she got exactly what she wanted out of curly and i dont think she really wanted to be in that relationship. therefore she messed around with the other guys in the farm longing for something more..

3) what is your interpretation of george and lennies relationship?
my interpretation of the relationship between george and lennie is strong. although george picks on lennie a lot i think they have a real brotherly relationship going on. george protects lennie and keeps him out of trouble. now lennie on the other hand is a little slow but i think he has some sence in him. he looks up to lennie and treats him like a brother.

4)what do u think the location of the story symbolizes?
i beleive the main setting in the story is the ranch. i think this ranch somewhat sybolizes unity. i think this unity of men doesnt really include lennie. i think the men are more attatched to george as he is the smart one. since lennie is kinda the slow and weird one the guys dont really pay attention to him.

5)what was the main theme of the book?
i think the main theme in "of mice and men" is friendship. there are many frienships that go on in the book between diffrent people. some of the frienships were stronger than others but it does occor a lot in the book.for example george and lennie, george and candy, lennie and curlys wife and many more. i think the strongest friendsip in the book although typical; george and lennie.although george took advantage of the fact that lennie obeyed everything he said geogre still protected lennie and in the end enen though what he did was somewhat cruel he really did it out of care for lennie.
