Even it Lennie didn't mean to do it, George still warned him to be careful about her. He will most likely not let him tend to the rabbits and will probably give him a punishment. George might also be afraid for Lennie because Curley is a violent man and he might want to hurt Lennie badly for what he has done.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04866637635000853746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2358997836858671423.post-21172826050834682482013-10-27T21:45:06.404-07:002013-10-27T21:45:06.404-07:00I agree with Ria that George will be mad at Lennie...I agree with Ria that George will be mad at Lennie and that he will let Lennie "tend to the rabbits."

However, this time, Lennie has committed murder.

It is not really his nature to handle guns, as normally he tries to stay out of trouble (so he can 'tend to the rabbits'). Lennie's action would most likely to have his tail between legs and run away (most likely to the spot specified at the start of the story). So someone else must have taken Carlson's gun (since he couldn't have misplaced it in a short period of time, though it is possible).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310082337033516747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2358997836858671423.post-11258453101008293202013-10-26T20:17:31.577-07:002013-10-26T20:17:31.577-07:00I think she realized Lennie thought she was pretty...I think she realized Lennie thought she was pretty and liked her, and wanted the attention Lennie would give.
