Chapter 1 Notes

               Connection

I could connect this novella to the cartoon pinky and the brain.  
You could relate the story to them because pinky is taller but
not as smart just as Lennie is in the story. The Brain is smaller
yet is a lot smarter than Pinky just as George is with Lennie.
Without them two together they wouldn't be able to function.  

Prediction

I believe that Lennie and George will find a job farther down the road. They will get in trouble there and have to run away again. Lennie and George will reach California and they will fulfill their dream of having a farm with all of the animals that they wish for. Both of them will finally be happy and will get to rest.


Summary

In the first chapter of the novella Lennie and George are kicked out of town
because Lennie is accused of sexually assaulting a little girl. So they make their
way to California to look for work. They ask a bus driver how much farther
they have to walk and he tells them that California is just right
ahead; but it really is 5 miles ahead. They stop for the night near a creak and 
George finds a mouse in Lennie's pocket; he throws it into the woods.
So, Lennie and George stay for the night at the creak eating cans of beans.
