Chapter 2

     A short summary of this chapter; first George and Lennie arrive at the ranch, where they then meet the boss. Then they meet the old man named Candy, who only has one hand and his extremely old dog. They meet the grumpy little man named Curley, who has a hatred for big guys like Lennie. George then tells Lennie to stay away from Curley at all times. Suddenly Curley's wife walks into the buck house looking for Curley. At that instant George immediately knows that she is big trouble. Curley`s wife is a very pretty women and as soon as she leave George tells Lennie to never go near her either.

     How this chapter ties into my theme is by showing how people with mental disabilities are easily distracted. For example when George and Lennie meet Curley's wife, for the next short while all Lennie can think about is how pretty she is, and he does not snap out of it until George starts to yell at him.
