Week 10 “Of Mice and Men” Chapter one Question:

1.  In the story, what do the other men think of Lennie?  Use examples from the text.  Please go into depth why you choose your answer.

My view of this question, is that basically everyone thinks that Lennie is  strong (and big), weird and stupid:

• The reason why they think that he is strong, is because they have seen him doing some work such as lifting, but also because George keep bragging about how strong he is and that he can lift two men without any problems etc.
• The reason why they think that he is weird, is because though he is such a big and strong guy, he likes small things such as rabbits, and i also likes to pet them. Isn’t that ironic?!
• The reason why they think he is stupid, or not that bright, is because they way he talks and act, but also because George told them that he wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer!
