Characters: George, Lennie, Curly, Candy, The Boss (Curly's Dad), Slim, Carlson, Whit, Crooks
Setting: The ranch, stay (bunkhouse), barn
Questions: Why doesn't Candy refuse to let his dog die? What is Curly's wife up to? Why did George motivate Lennie to fight back when Curly was punching him? If Curly knows that Lennie is mentally disabled, why would he start the quarrel in the first place?
Prediction: I predict that Curly won't get over his "ancient" dog getting killed. After Carlson killed the dog, Curly was really upset and didn't talk for a while. Once he got into other conversations, out of no where he brought up the dog. I also predict that we will get to know more about Crooks, even though he was only introduced in a short section in this chapter. Also, I think that Lennie and Curly will get into another fight. I believe that this time no one will be around and it will be even worse.
Summary: Slim talks to George about him working together with Lennie and is surprised that Lennie being a big, strong, childish/stupid guy and George being a small, smart guy are together. Carlson then walks in the bunkhouse and can't stand the smell of the ancient dog of Candy's and says it stinks in here, so living much wouldn't help the dog and offers to kill him since Candy resists. Slim also agrees and that leaves Candy to give up his dog, whom he took care of since the dog was a small pup. When Carlson takes the dog outside to be killed, Candy feels motionless, looking at the ceiling when he hears the gun shot from outside of Carlson killing the dog. Later, Lennie and Curly get into a fight. Lennie doesn't fight back, but grabs Curly's fist, possibly breaking bones.
