1. Was it OK for George to encourage Lennie to fight Curley? Could there have been another solution? If so, be clear about what that solution might have been. (3-5 sentences: 3 points)I think that george did do the write thing by encourageing lennie to fight. because Curley was looking for it himself by picking on lennie like that just because he doesnt look smart enough to fight back.Curley got what he was looking forand he should have goten it much wors then that because lennie knows how to fight he just didnt whont to get in to trouble.
2. It's true that Lennie doesn't TRY to get into trouble, but he always does anyway. Considering this, do you think Lennie should be working at all? Should he be in a special institution away from society? (3-5 sentences: 3 points)I think that lenie should be ableto work because he is a hard worker ,he listens and takes orders.Also because Even normal people get in to trouble and no one takes them from society.
3. Curley is a boss like his dad, which is probably why he has to be mean to his workers. Without being aggressive and showing his power, do you think would he still get respect from his workers? (3-5 sentences: 3 points)Curley would still get respected if he were to chouse not to be mean to all his workers.but it would be a different kind of respect. It would be the best kind of respected, even if he was not there they would respect him and think of him as a friend.
4. In your opinion, do you think it's OK that Curley's Wife flirts with Slim? (3-5 sentences: 3 points)I think it's not ok, i would have gotten down with slim for that.Idount know why Curly did'nt fight with slim for
