Chapter 6 Notes

Summary: Chapter 6 to me was quite upsetting and sad. In this chapter it starts off with Lennie going to hide in the bushes waiting for George to come like George said he always would. when George finally comes Lennie starts apologizing and explains what happened to Curley's wife. George than takes the gun away from Lennie and they go over by the lake and talk then George takes the gun and shoots Lennie in the back of the head. The others from the ranch start to gather to see what happened and they don't say anything. They start to walk back to the ranch and one of the guys comfort George all the way there.

Prediction: If this story went on I would think George would bury Lennie somewhere quiet and nice and go back to the ranch and I feel everything would be different in a bad but good way. George won't have Lennie always hovering over him, but it'll also seem kind of boring and lonely because even though Lennie to George was a burden he still cared for him.

Question: -Why wouldn't George bury Lennie after he killed him?
-Why did they just walk off like that and no really think anything of it?
-Why did John Steinbeck choose George to kill Lennie why not one of the other characters like Curley?
