Dear George.

Dear George,
    I felt like what you did was more than  necessary. What Lennie had did had set him set him up for a nasty situation, even though he didn't mean any of it he was too strong for his good. It wouldn't have ended well at all. Rather that than let Curley or another one of the staff on the ranch take care of the problem at hand. I  feel like you two had bonded even more so because of the choice you had  made to make sure that Lennie died dreaming of their land that the two of you  had planned to move to. And although there was a constant argument, or lecture between the two of you , there was this vibe of sibling or  family ties. That's why I feel what you did was very necessary and that Lennie wouldn't have wanted to die in the hands of any other man.
       There was more than a bond between the two of you. There was a complcated friendship that couldn't survive without the other. I feel like you really cared about him and thats why you made that decision to take his life and do it without fuss or without depricating him the way you always did when he hindered your plans to be a man without problems or someone to take care of.

Of Mice and Men Part 2

When Lennie said that he didn't want to stay at the ranch, he probably said it because of the trouble he's gotten him self into involuntarily. I say this because of Curly. Curly automatically has a problem with Lennie because he was much bigger, and Curly being the bosses son creates a bad situation  for Lennie. Also it could be the manner in which the boss and swamper presented themselves. It may sound complicated  but the way they acted , with a pompous sort of dirty way of talking.I think it really made Lennie feel uncomfortable.

Quotes: "He glance coldly at George and then at Lennie. His arms gradually bent at the elbows and his hands closed into fists." Pg. 25

"Curley's like a lot of little guys. He hates big guys." {Pg 24
