Chapter 5 and 6 Question 1

Curleys wife tries to talk to Lennie, but Lennie refused saying that George would get very mad at him. Curleys wife keeps trying to convince Lennie to talk to her, but he wont listen so she starts talking anyways. Lennie is baited in and begins to listen, Curleys wife talks about her childhood and how she had a dream of being an actor but her mom always prevented her from doing this. Her mom would not let her follow her dream so she ended up marrying Curley. I think Curleys wife opened up to Lennie because Lennie is a safe person to talk to and he will not share it with anyone else. I also think Curleys wife desperately needed to tell someone so it would make her feel better. After Curleys wife speaks Lennie starts to talk about how he likes to pet things and that is why he wants the rabbits. When Curleys wife listens to how Lennie likes to stroke things she says she likes to stroke her hair to make it very nice. She tells Lennie to feel her hair and Lennie begins to stroke her hair and she says do not mess it up. Lennie keeps holding on and Curleys wife gets frustrated and screams and tries to wiggle out of Lennies grasp. Lennie also gets scared and grabs onto Curleys wifes hair and does not let go. Lennie tries to calm down Curleys wife by shaking her head and when he does this he snaps her neck and Curleys wife goes limp and is suddenly dead.
