Turning Points

Lennie - Would be when he killed Curleys wife becuase all of a sudden he was really scared and also when he imagined the rabbit and Aunt Clara at the end of the book.

George - Would be when he decided he had to kill Lennie becasue it would be easier for him to be dead than tortured and inprisoned.

Curley - Would have two turning points. one is when he gets beaten up by Lennie and the other is when he finds out his wife is dead.

Slim - When he stood up for Lennie when Curley was hitting him.

Carlson - When he goes to get his gun but then realises that it's been stolen.

Crooks - When he talks with Lennie and Candy and realises that its not a bad thing to have company. Also when they are talking and he finds out they are going to get a farm.

Curley's Wife - When she is talking to Lennie about the life she could have had.

Candy - When he realsises that he could go in for the farm with George and Lennie and escape the life of labouring all day.

Crooks

"Crooks was a proud, aloof man. He kept his distance and demanded that other people keep theirs. His body was bent over to the left by his crooked spine, and his eyes lay deep in his head, and because of their depth seemed to glitter with intensity. His lean face was lined with deep black wrinkles, and he had thin, pain-tightened lips which were lighter than his face."

Carlson

"A powerful, big-stomached man came into the bunk house. His head still dripped water from the scrubbingand dousing."

Candy

"a tall, stoop-shouldered old man came in. He was in bluejeans and he carried a big push-broom in his left hand."

Curley

"a thin young with a brown face, with brown eyes and a head of tightly curled hair. He wore a work glove on his left hand, and, like the boss, he wore high-heeled boots."

Slim

"He was a jerkline skinner, the prince of the ranch, capable of driving ten, sixteen, even twenty mules with a single line to the leaders. He was dcapable of killing a fly on the wheeler's butt with a bull whip without touching the mule. there was a gravity in his manner and a quiet so profound that all talk sopped when he spoke. His authority was so great that his word was taken on any subject, be it politics or love."

Curley's Wife

"She had full, rouged lips and wide-spaced eyes, heavily made up. Her fingernails were red. Her hair hung in little rolled clusters, like sausages. She wore a cotton house dress and red mules, on the4 insteps of which werelittle bouquets of red ostrich feathers."
