3. What questions would you ask of George?

- The questions i would ask f George would be was he just using Lennie and his size for work or did he really care about Lennie?

- The factors i would change would be Lennie didn't kill the lady because then he wouldn't have had to get shot.

- If i could describe George in one word it would be smart, because he figured that if he hung with Lennie he would actually get work because of Lennie size.

6. What would you consider to be the turning point in the book?

- I would consider the turning point to be when Lennie killed Curleys wife because when he killed her then the whole game plan switched up and Lennie realized that George would not let him tend to the rabbits and that they wouldn't be able to get a place of their own because he did a bad thing.
