BETWEEN THE LINE QUESTIONS:

In the book of mice and men was there a so called secret fraternity amongst the men?

In the story of mice and men the men come together at many times to take care of many tasks from working to killing Lennie. The secret fraternity of the men in this book never have any meetings or anything like that its just more of a common code that they all live by. The code basically relies upon what they all believe is right or just and they will back each other up on that when needed. Such as the time when they came together to find the killer of Curley’s wife, when they came together to run Lennie and George out of weed or when all but the outcast come together to go into town and have fun. The secret fraternity of mice and men is there and will always be there as long as friendship can be made.

Did lennie purposely kill the animals and lady in the story?

Mice, puppies and a lady with very soft hair all died in this story by the hands of one man… Lennie. Many in the story believes he’s so innocent but is that actually the case. I think not because in the story when he describes his reasoning for killing the mice he stated he was petting them and they bit him so he pinched the mouse causing them to die now was death maybe his way of punishment. Or when curly’s wife walks in on Lennie trying to hide the dead puppy he kills her as a way to shut her up when she starts to scream. So maybe this wonderful guy isn’t so innocent and he tried to put things in pain maybe he didn’t try to kill them but he did try to hurt them.

Was curly’s wife a tart?

In the story it talks of her beauty and then the way she stands hunched over in lennie and georges room. The way the author describes her in the bunkhouse and that’s right after she was described as a tart by candy it would seem so as though she is. In reality all she did was get the attention of men whom wouldn’t give a hoot if she looked any other way. When candy says she gives the eye to all these different people maybe its not a flirty eye maybe it’s a lonely one like a kid in timeout watching all the others play and have fun. That’s not a tart a whore or any of that, that’s just a very lonely women
