Mice and Men
1. The rabbits in the novel represent Lennie and George buying land and being free. They look forward to it and that's all that keeps them going everyday. Lennie wants rabbits because he wants to pet them and soft things make him feel happy! Lennie and George's lives are really hard and they need something to look forward to. Lennie and George are exhausted moving from place to place and they don't have a lot.
2.Curly represents lack of freedom. Curly is one of the obstacles George and Lennie have to face before they get their land. Curly is controlling and mean. He hates Lennie because Lennie is bigger than Curly. If George and Lennie did not have a boss like Curly they would feel less controlled at the farm.
3.When Lennie killed Curly's Wife I was scared and did not know what to think. I was shocked and sad when that happened. I think either Lennie will be hung. Another possibility is that George and Lennie will escape and go to another farm in another town. I hope that Lennie and George escape because Lennie has a mental problem, but at the same time, what if he kills someone else?
4.Curly's wife represents a dream that's never going to happen. Meaning she had dreams like moving to Hollywood and becoming an actress. She also wanted to get out of the farm and leave Curly. We didn't know for sure but it seems unlikely that her dreams would come true. Now we know for sure they are never going to happen!
