The setting is the river. Lennie and George had just escaped from Weed, where Lennie was being hunted for accidentally ripping the dress off a woman. It's peaceful. Lennie and George talk about rabbits and the farm they're going to own. George tells Lennie that if there's any trouble, to meet him at the river. The setting is the bunkhouse. Lennie and George arrive at the ranch and meet the boss, Curley, Curley's wife, and the other workers. George and Lennie suspect trouble. Slim gives Lennie a puppy. The setting is the bunkhouse. Candy's old sheepdog is shot. Candy is brought in on George and Lennie's plan to buy a farm and tend rabbits. They start to believe they can actually pull it off. Curley comes in looking for trouble. He gets it. Curley starts a fight with Lennie and Lennie crushes Curley's hand. The setting is Crook's room. All the workers except Lennie, Crooks, and Candy go out for a night on the town. Lennie enters Crook's room uninvited. Candy enters soon after and they talk about the farm they're going to buy. Crooks offers to work for free if he can come. Curley's wife shows up and threatens everybody. Crooks, defeated, changes his mind about the farm. The setting is the barn. The chapter begins with Lennie next to his dead puppy that he killed. Curley's wife enters and invites Lennie to feel her hair. He pulls it. She panics and screams. Lennie gets scared and breaks her neck. The workers get a posse together to kill Lennie. The setting is the river, where the novel started. George breaks from the posse and meets Lennie. They talk about rabbits and farms. George shoots Lennie in the back of the head Where are there parallels (similar events) between chapters? Why begin and end the novel in the same place? How might the parallels prepare (foreshadow) the reader for future events? How might structure of novel link to the context of the novel?

SlimSlim and the men on the ranch – we think it’s their time SlimSlim and the men on the ranch – we think it’s their time A highly skilled mule driver and the acknowledged “prince” of the ranch, Slim is the only character who seems to be at peace with himself. The other characters often look to Slim for advice. For instance, only after Slim agrees that Candy should put his decrepit dog out of its misery does the old man agree to let Carlson shoot it. A quiet, insightful man, Slim alone understands the nature of the bond between George and Lennie, and comforts George at the book’s tragic ending.
