Blog #2: Curley & Lennie

After reading part 2 of Of Mice and Men, I have a bad feeling Curley will get into a fight with Lennie. When Curley came inside to find his dad, but then found Lennie, "His arms gradually bent at the elbows and his hands closed into fists. He stiffened and went into a slight crouch..." This awkward interaction with Lennie occurred because later the old man told George and Lennie that Curley gets into fights with big guys because of them being bigger than his own size. Not only did this situation occur, but Curley automatically said, "Let the big guy talk." Lennie was very embarrassed when he said this, but George covered Lennie. Even when George took cover for Lennie, did Curley want Lennie to talk. Curley may be a boxer, but he has very violent interactions with people bigger than him, which proves the point that Lennie may get into trouble with him later in the book.
