Section 3

               I think that Carlson suggested shooting the dog not only because of the smell or that he was a cold-hearted person. Almost the opposite, I think that he wanted to put the dog out of it's misery. he said that the dog was old and it hurt to even live anymore. I think that candy eventually agreed to it because he loved his dog and wanted to end his pain. Especially when Carlson said that if you were old and in pain would you want someone to end it for you, and when he said that  he knew how to make it so that the dog didn't feel it. I think that that dog itself resembles the dreams of the ranchers, mangled and old and pushed aside. also like the dog they have given up or been given up. Then when they shoot the dog it resembles the dreams being destroyed. Then reborn when Candy gets a new dog. Also I think that author used foreshadowing to show that George, Linnie, and now Candy's dream might be destroyed and then  reborn again. If they get canned from the ranch for fighting Curly.
