Journal #2


Journal #2
1. This story is told in 3rd person.
2. I like the way that this book is written because it is very interesting.
3. I think that one of the most important parts in the book is when Lennie gets into a fight with Curley. I am going to be Lennie.

After thinkin’ about what da guys and me had been talking about I was in smiles. I couldn’t stop thinking about the house. I was really excited about what it was goin’ to look like inside. I looked over and saw Curley yellin’ at Slim an’ Carlson. I couldn’t really undertand why he was yelling at them.
All of sudden I looked straight ahead and saw Curley coming at me. His face kinda looked like a dog. Curley started to yell at me, but I coundn’t understand him. Then he started to get really angry and stood up and called me a bad word. I think that he wanted to fight me so I quickly looked at George not knowing what to do. I got up and started to back away, but Curley quickly frew a punch at my nose and I started to bleed. I cried out to George tellin’ him to tell Curley to stop, but he kept punching me.
I could hear George telling me to fight back, but I just didn’t do anything. He then hit me in the stomach and I was winded. I could faintly hear George tellin’ me again to fight back. Curley threw his fist again at me, but this time I caught his fist in my hand. Just then I squeezed Curley’s hand and he was flopping like crazy. I could tell that he was in pain. His fist was still in my hand and I could hear George saying to leggo, but I just wouldn’t let go. I could start to feel his bones in his hand crunching. Curley started to cry and cower.
Just then I let go, Curley fell to the ground. I backed up and crouched up against the wall. I could see Curley’s broken and in how much pain he was in. George looked at me and I told him that I did what he had told me. In the background I saw Slim an’ Carlson around Curley and talkin’ about how they would take him to a doctor. I cried “I didn’t want to hurt him, I didn’t wanna hurt him!”
