Mice and Men Exam Part II: Between the Line Questions

11. Do you think Lennie would ever forget to tend to the rabbits?

I believe that Lennie wouldn’t forget to tend to the rabbits. Since whenever Lennie and George daydream about the farm they would have if they had the money he would always mention the rabbits they would have. He talks of feeding the rabbits with alfalfa and pet them (he would probably kill one or two from petting them) everyday. Based on the way he said he would pet and feed them everyday I believe that Lennie wouldn’t forget to feed the rabbits and he would go to certain lengths to sleep with them as he did with his puppy he killed by accident.

12. Based on what you read about George what would be a repeating motif
for him?

One of the many repeating motifs for is always bailing Lennie out of trouble. Whether it’s keeping him away from a lynch mob because of something he did to a woman. Or when he was getting beat up by Curly in the bunkhouse because Curly wasn’t feeling him and started wailing on him and George bailing him out of trouble tells Lennie to fight back and as a result crushed his hand. Lastly the final time George bails Lennie out of trouble is when he shoots him in the back of the head to keep him from a punishment worse than death.
