A brief summary of this chapter; what happened first is that George and Slim talk for a bit. Then Carlson asks Candy to put his dog down, and in the end they decide that Carlson will kill the poor old dog. At the end of the chapter Curley accuses Slim of sleeping with his wife which ends with Lennie and Curley having a fight and Lennie taking a few punches from Curley. George is upset and tells Lennie to let Curley have it. Lennie destroys Curley's hand by squeezing it into a piece clump of skin and bone.
How this ties into my theme is that it shows how people with mental disabilities have no control over their strength.This is evident by Lennie destroying Curley's hand. However not all people with mental disabilities lose control over their strength. For example a student from my grade school had complete control over his strength even though he suffers from autism and dyslexia.
