Tell me about
Chapter 3

Start of Chapter 3:
What do we learn about Lennie’s relationship
with George?

What do we learn about Lennie’s relationship with George? 

They were born in the same town and have known each other for a long time. 

After Lennie’s aunt died, George started taking care of him.

George used to play pranks on Lennie, but after Lennie nearly drowned because of this, he stopped.

Why is the story of the woman in the red dress important?

Why is the story of the woman in the red dress important? 

The story is important for multiple reasons. 

• It is the reason George and Lennie had to leave weed and caused them to end up at the ranch and it also gives a lot of information about Lennie.
• Lennie’s actions tend to get him in trouble, because he does not understand what he’s doing.
• At the end the red dress is also compared to the puppies, showing that it is more than just animals that Lennie likes to touch. 
• The repetition of the story could also foreshadow something similar happening in the future. 

What do we learn about Slim, and how would you describe his personality?

What do we learn about Slim, and how would you describe his personality? 

We learn that he is good at reading people, calm, and can get people to confide in him. 

He does not talk much himself, but he does ask questions to keep the conversation going.

Chapter 3 discusses different women namely Curley’s wife and the prostitutes.
How do the men on the ranch view these women?

Chapter 3 discusses different women namely Curley’s wife and the prostitutes.

How do the men on the ranch view these women?

The women are either entertainment or trouble. 

They talk about the money, the whiskey and the chairs, but not about the women that they are paying for. 

What is George and Lennie's version of the "American Dream"?

George and Lennie's American Dream

They want get their own place and live off of the land. 

They want to have a place where they belong. 

What reasons are we given to think their ‘dream’ will succeed or fail?

What reasons are we given to think their ‘dream’ will succeed or fail? 

It could succeed because 

• George already knows of a place they could buy, 
• and Candy wants to join them and has money they could use. 
• They have constructed a plan. 

The other workers finding out about the plan could be a reason for it to fail. 

Why do you think Candy says: “I ought to of shot that dog myself, George. I shouldn’t ought to have let no stranger
shoot my dog”?

Why do you think Candy says: “I ought to of shot that dog myself, George. I shouldn’t ought to have let no stranger shoot my dog”?

For example:

He feels like it was his responsibility. 

The dog was his and he’d had it for a long time. 

He also compares himself to the dog – he would rather get shot after getting fired than have to suffer the rest of his life alone.
