The location that the final chapter takes place in is where the book began, where George and Lennie camped out for the night next to the river. The final chapter is very deep. George discovers what Curley's intentions are and decides he needs to take matters into his own hands. When George finds Lennie he picks up Carlson's gun and aims it at Lennie. He then does what he has to do to prevent his friend from the suffering that Curley will bring. Slim comforts George because he agrees with his actions. The vision of the farm comes up again but George denies it because without Lennie there is no dream.
"you had to"
This quote was said by Slim to George right after George takes his own best friends life. It shows how much George really cared for Lennie even though he might not have shown lots of affection towards Lennie. Lennie did something no one would ever want to do just to help someone out.

Lennie goes to the barn to pet his puppy. But we soon find out that the puppy is dead from Lennie petting it too long. Curly's wife soon comes into the barn and tries to talk to Lennie. Lennie at first is hesitant because George told him not to talk to Curly's wife, however Curly's wife convinces him into conversation. Lennie tells her about the farm plan and how he likes to pet things. This is where things go 0-100 real quick. Curly's wife convinces Lennie to pet her hair and Lennie doesn't stop when she asks, she starts screaming so Lennie panics and grabs her. This is a reflection of what happened with the dress in weed. In panic Lennie breaks Curly's wifes neck and kills her. He then panics again and decides to run away.
"Then—it’s all off?" Candy asked sulkily. George didn’t answer his question. George said, "I’ll work my month an’ I’ll take my fifty bucks an’ I’ll stay all night in some lousy cat house. Or I’ll set in some poolroom til ever’body goes home. An’ then I’ll come back an’ work another month an’ I’ll have fifty bucks more."
This quote shows what life for people like George and Lennie is like. They have no plan in life and the wonder from place to place looking for a mean, a placebo stay, and a quick job. They never settle down in one place even though they want to.

Chapter 4 consists of lots of dialogue and conversation. Most of the dialogue is between Lennie and Crooks inside the stables. Crooks lives in the stables because he is not allowed in the bunkhouse due to his skin color. Crooks has a very neat and organized room. Crooks often feels lonely because he is the only one inn the stables. Lennie walks in because he wants to pet his puppy, but Crooks gives him a hard time about it. He eventually warms up to Lennie and lightens up to him because of his innocence. Crooks tried to frighten Lennie by telling him that George might leave him, however crooks feels bad and tries to comfort him again. Curly's wife comes to the stable looking for her husband. Crooks gives her attitude and she threatens to lynch him. On her way out she tells Lennie that she is glad that he beat him up a little.
"I can get you strung up on a tree so easy it aint even funny."
This quote shows how African Americans had no say in anything at the time. They had no rights and people were out to get them. Curly's wife threatened Crooks with this quote after Crooks opened his mouth and gave her attitude.

Chapter 3 has a lot going on in it. George and slim talk about their town, they also talk about how George has treated Lennie. Slim has given Lennie a puppy which makes him very happy, while Carlson complains about Candy's dog. Curly attacks Lennie due to the fact that he was day dreaming and not working. Curley was letting his anger out on Lennie and seriously hurt Lennie in the process. However, Lennie breaks Curly's hand. Curly is brought to the hospital and Lennie is sad.
'Couldn't swim a stroke. He damn near drowned before we could get him. An' he was so damn nice to me for pullin' him out. Clean forgot I told him to jump in. Well, I ain't done nothing like that no more.'
Slim said this in chapter 3. He said this because Lennie saved him. He means that even though he is not super intelligent, he has a kind heart and he is a hard worker.

Chapter 1
![Picture](/uploads/5/0/9/7/50971519/published/lennie-and-george.jpg?1485740580)
Chapter one immediately lets us into the lives of the two main characters, Lennie and George. Lennie and George seem to be friends, however for most of the chapter they seem to be arguing. George tells Lennie that tomorrow is very important and that he can't pull an act like he did in "weed". The argument begins because Lennie picks up a mouse and pets it, but George throws it away. It soon appears that Lennie seems to have a mental disability, and George watches over him. George tells Lennie that he could have a great life if he didn't have to watch him and take care of him, so Lennie tells him he will leave if he wants. George apologizes and they cook dinner, make a fire, and set up camp.
"You're aunt would never want that"
This shows how George might be responsible for Lennie. Even if he might not want to watch over Lennie he has to for some reason.
