He damn near killed his partner buckin' barley. There ain't nobody can keep up with him. God awmighty I never seen such a strong guy. I choose curley "he doesnt give anyone else a chance to win" pg.
I chose candy for my character. You learn that he is a caring and thoughtful person. On page 45 he says "I don't mind taking care of him," talking about his old and crippled dog. I like this in characters, because it shows that they have a heart and care about others. Also, it shows how these characters are just like you and I.
This statement has been said countless times throughout the whole book, and I foreshadow many more times later on. Lennie clearly is very strong, and sometimes he doesn't even know how strong he is. In fact, Lennie has been shown be a very good guy throughout, but although he doesn't mean to, it could bring major consequences in the future.
In this chapter, we learn how Candy truly perceives himself. He thinks because he is growing old, and lost a hand in an accident, he is worthless, soon to be fired, and hated by the other workers. His dog also serves as a metaphor for his self-image, as well as reinforcing his hatred for himself when the other guys tell him to let his dog be killed by Carlson because it is near death, and only a nuisance for them.
When they finally shoot his dog, he loses a piece of himself, and his confidence shrinks, supported by page 66, when he says "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 they shoot me.
In Chapter 3, we find out that Carlson kills Candy's dog. While all the other men in the bunkhouse are playing games and laughing, Candy just lays on his bunk. It shows how much that dog meant to him and how much they had been through together. Candy quoted "that dog used to herd sheep with me.
In chapter 6 on page , we learn that George will be the one to kill Lennie. We see how much George really cares for Lennie and how he knows if he doesn't kill Lennie, Curly will make his death more painful and harsh. Home Search.

George and Lennie travel together because they have known each other since they were children and a natural friendship developed over time.
Got kinda used to each other after a little while. Race is the central reason why Crooks has his own room set apart from the other men at the ranch. You go on get outta my room. They say I stink. Well, I tell you, you all of you stink to me. The transitive nature of the work means that it is difficult to form lasting relationships, and there is no room for sentimentality in the world they live in. This harsh reality is demonstrated by the death of Candy's dog, who is too old to be useful.
Carlson, says 'He ain't no good to you There is no provision made for the possibility that Candy's affection for the dog is enough reason to keep it. The dog also symbolises Candy himself. George berates him for taking the little creature away from its mother. As Lennie returns the puppy to the litter, Candy and Carlson appear. Candy replies that he has had the dog for too many years to kill it, but Carlson continues to pressure him.
Eventually Slim joins in, suggesting that Candy would be putting a suffering animal out if its misery. Slim offers him a puppy and urges him to let Carlson shoot the dog. Another farmhand, Whit, enters and shows Slim a letter written by a man they used to work with published in a pulp magazine. The short letter praises the magazine. As the men marvel over it, Carlson offers to kill the dog quickly by shooting it in the back of the head.
Reluctantly, Candy gives in. Carlson takes the dog outside, promising Slim that he will bury the corpse. After a few awkward moments of silence, the men hear a shot ring out, and Candy turns his face to the wall.
Carlson cleans his gun and avoids looking at Candy. Curley appears looking for his wife again. Full of jealousy and suspicion, he asks where Slim is. When he learns that Slim is in the barn, he storms off in that direction, followed by Whit and Carlson, who hope to see a fight. George warns his companion against the trouble that women cause, and then Lennie asks him to describe the farm that they hope to buy. As George talks, Candy listens and becomes excited by the idea of such a beautiful place.
