Who is your favorite character in this book? Explain your selection in detail.
I think that Slim is my favorite. He seems to be the one who has been around a while and who is able to keep everyone settled. He seems the one with the most common sense, and takes care of good people such as George and Lennie. He also seems to have really developed himself to be something no matter where he goes which I respect.
If you could “vote” one of the characters off the ranch, who would it be, and why?
It would honestly have to be Curley. He is like the spoiled brat in the story. He thinks too highly of himself and lacks almost all common sense and capability to think. He does nothing other than live off of what his father has built. It is honestly one of my pet peeves when people take good people and hard work for granted because it is not what they want.
What will you remember the longest about this story? Did you find anything humorous in the story? Which part was the saddest? The most surprising? The most thought-provoking?
I think I will remember George killing Lennie the most. For me, it is the saddest, most surprising, and most though-provoking. While I cannot bring myself to say that those actions were alright, the situation he was in does bring up a lot of questions about life and about myself. It is also sad because George did love Lennie, and the only way he saw he could help him is by the actions we see in those last pages. It was a slightly expected ending, and I honestly like it because too often writers are not willing to end a story like that.
