Death in the Barn – Page124

I think Lennie is a good guy, but he don’t know his own strength and he is like a big baby. All he want to do is to stroke nice and soft things such as animals, but sometimes he stroke them too hard without knowing it and they die,  which is not what he want too and when he accidently do he get very sad. He simply don’t know were the limits goes.

I think Curley and his wife should help Lennie by telling him what is right and what is wrong. They should also stop with the yelling and screaming when Lennie do something wrong. Getting angry at him will only make Lennie lose even more control which is not good, because when he lose so much control he might kill something.  They should also talk more to him and trust him more, building trust with him would only make him more self-confident and be more accurate with his strength/feeling (so he won’t kill soft animals)! But its not strange that he wants to stroke those nice puppies! they are so cute!!!
