Death in the barn.
I think Lennie is a good guy, but he don’t know his own strength and he is like a big baby. All he want to do is to stroke animals, but sometimes he stroke them too hard and they die, which was not what he wanted too and then he get sad.
I think Curley and his wife should help Lennie by telling him what is right and what is wrong, but don’t get angry at him when he do something not that bad so he won’t get scared when he do something wrong. They should also talk more to him and trust him more.
Fairytale
Once upon a time there was a Gangster who wanted to marry a woman; but she would have to be a real woman. He rode all over the world in his bling car, but nowhere could he get what he wanted. There were woman enough, but it was difficult to find out whether they were real ones. There was always something about them that was not as it should be. So he came home again and was angry, for he would have liked very much to have a real woman. So he eased his pain with drugs and random shootings.
One evening a terrible storm came on; there was thunder and lightning, and the rain poured down in torrents. Suddenly a knocking was heard at the door, and the old gangster boss went to open it.
It was a woman standing out there in the hood. But, good gracious! what a sight the rain and the wind had made her look. The water ran down from her hair and clothes; it ran down into the toes of her shoes and out again at the heels. And yet she said that she was a real woman.
Well, we’ll soon find that out, thought the old gangster. But he said nothing, went into the bed-room, took all the bedding off the bedstead, and laid a bling on the bottom; then she took twenty mattresses and laid them on the bling, and then twenty eider-down beds on top of the mattresses.
On this the woman had to lie all night. In the morning she was asked how she had slept.
“Oh, very badly!” said she. “I have scarcely closed my eyes all night. Heaven only knows what was in the bed, but I was lying on something hard, so that I am black and blue all over my body. It’s horrible!”
Now they knew that she was a real woman because she had felt the bling right through the twenty mattresses and the twenty eider-down beds.
Nobody but a real woman could be as sensitive as that.
So the gangster took her for his wife, for now he knew that he had a real woman; and the bling was put in the “hoods” own museum, where it may still be seen, if no one has stolen it.
There, that is a true story. Actually you can still see them in their “hood” cruising around in their cars with their blings.
