George had just killed his best friend he grew up with,
Lennie. After George shoots Lennie and the rest of the guys find him on the
ground, Slim offer him to go get a drink (pg. 104, Steinbeck) because he knows
that George just shot someone very important to him. I think that based on how
quiet George is after “whispering” to the guys about what happen he will be
scarred for life (pg.104, Steinbeck). After this I feel like the rest of the
month George will be depressed and start to drink a lot and also go to the
whore house more. Based on the book it seems like after he has shot Lennie he
was traumatized which would cause him to do all these things (104, Steinbeck).
I think there is a chance that George after a while will actually try and make
money to get the land him and Lennie always dreamed about just because he
talked to Lennie about it before he shot him (pg. 103, Steinbeck).
I agree with you on what you said. I think it’s a possibility of what happened. But I don’t think it’s for the rest of the month. It’s going to be hard for him to live his life as “normal” now that Lennie’s gone. When eating, he’ll have no one to share with. When traveling he’ll have no one to take care of but himself. But on your citations it suppose to be like (Steinbeck, 104). Otherwise it's good.
