Section 2
The character I decided to talk about is Curly. In the story, he is described as a thin, young man with a brown face, brown eyes, tightly curled hair, and he was also described as "scrappy". He was very suspicious of Lennie in the beginning because he was a big guy and this really upset George. "He hates big guys. He's all time picking scraps with big guys. Kind of like he's mad at 'em because he ain't a big guy." I think that Curly is jealous of big guys and wants them to feel small like he is. There is a mutual feeling of dislike between Curly and George. Curly really likes to pick fights with big guys because if he wins a fight then people congratulate him but if he gets hit then people say that the big guys should pick on somebody their own size. He uses guile when it comes to these fights and this makes George very cautious of him, especially when he's around Lennie.
Why do you guys think that Curly is mad at big guys for their size? Why do you think he likes to pick fights with big guys?
