Why is Lennie getting in a fight with Curly a huge deal in Georges’ eyes? If you were Lennie’s companion, would you bring him to a place where there’s a risk of him running into trouble? Why or why not?
The reason that George getting into a fight with Curly was such a big deal in Lennie's eyes was because it's like your big brother getting into a fight. It makes you upset and worried, that there's something to be worried about. And because Lennie sees George somewhat as his older brother it bothers him that someone is "picking" on him and there might be trouble. If Lennie was my companion I would try not to bring him to a place where there's risk of him running into trouble but sometimes it's not preventable. In George's case I think that he needed to bring him to this place where he could get into trouble because he doesn't have enough money to send him to a mental facility, if they were even available then and there is no other option than to take him with you and try to keep him out of trouble the best way you can.
The scene which was the timed that Curly and George's first met is big deal to Lenine because Curly is going to fight with George because he always wants to fight with 'Big Guy' not to show that he is weak small guy as his appearance. Therefore, Lenine is worried about George. George is like Lenine's family. Therefore, both of them need to avoid curly as well. As George said in the book, they do not have enough money or they need to cost for their job when they are in trouble. All they want, is just earing money as much as they can and have their own land and house and live happily. Therefore, if I am a companian with them, I am going to make a big effort not to fight with Curly. Because they are going to get punishment or lose their job even it was not fair situation for them.
Lennie getting into a fight with Curly is such a huge deal b/c in Georges eyes he knows Lennie is not aware of his strenghth. He knows that sometimes Lennie can get out of control and would end up getting in trouble and getting kicked out. If i was Lennies's companion i wouldn't bring him somewhere i knew he would get into trouble b/c he could be endangering me and him if stuff gets out of hand. I would take Lennie to a more controlled enviroment where i know he can't be tempted by anything. But i don't think there is anywhere you could take him where people wouldn't be questioning who he was and wanting to know more. So Lennie would have to learn to be controlled more.
The fight with Curly was a big deal to George because even before this, the boss was looking for them, and was some what upset because they weren’t there. That already didn’t make a good impression for the two of them. Now that they have encountered his son, and didn’t start on good terms, that doesn’t look good for their image. If anything, they should be trying to leave a good image for the sake of their jobs. Another thing that probably made George upset was the fact that one of the main reasons that they have been getting into those arguments is because they were bothered by the fact that George was speaking on the behalf of Lennie. Whenever they would speak to Lennie, George would respond for him. They continually asked why doesn’t George let the “big guy” talk for himself, and each time George had to come up with interesting responses so that he doesn’t blow their cover. If I was Lennie's companion, I think I would still bring him to a place where there is a risk of getting into trouble because even though there is a possibility that could happen, the fact of the matter is that he would depend on me, and I wouldn’t be able to just leave him by himself to do things on his own. If I was suppose to be watching him and taking care of him because of the situations that have taking place in his family, I don’t think that I could just leave him just so that I would handle business concerning a job for the both of us. Especially because he has the characteristics of a good worker, and that I probably what the people would want. I would just make sure that he was prepared, especially with the answers to questions that I suspected he would be asked. I would let him know when it was really okay to speak and answer simple questions that wouldn’t mess anything up.
