Chapter 5

This was an action packed chapter. I somehow knew that Lennie would end up killing the puppy, but I would never have thought that he would end up killing a person, let alone Curley's wife! I was shocked but I think that she is to blame. She knew Lennie wasn't the brightest person, and even if she was lonely, she could've just talked to him, not let him touch her hair. People would probably think that Lennie did it on purpose, but really, nobody would know why she was killed other than Lennie and he would probably forget by the time he got to the river. I don't think that Curley's wife was lonely enough to let a handicapped person, who loves soft things, stroke her hair. I think it hit her when Lennie wouldn't let go of her hair the first time she asked him not to mess it up and from then on it went downhill. When she struggled, Lennie became scared but all Lennie wants to do is tend the rabbits and if George found out that Curley's wife was screaming then he wouldn't be able to tend them and I think that thought frightened him!


The song I chose is by Jocelyn Enriquez and it's called "Save me from being alone". I chose it because it is about loneliness which is what Curley's wife and Crooks were going through and they both hated it. They were bored out of their mind because either people wouldn't talk to them, or people couldn't talk to them.

Save Me From Being Alone

To live in a house not a home
I've counted my tears falling down each
night for all these years
I can't believe it ends like this
We've gone on our own seperate ways
to find ourselves again
Where should I go from here can I
live here without your love
Somehow someday I'll make it through
Please help me ease the pain
I'm lost I can't find my way
Hope and pray it will end in time the pain inside
Can somebody hear I'm crying for shelter
Please help me see this through
A world that can no longer feel
Seems that they have abandoned me forgotten me
Do I blame myself
Save me from being alone
How can you mend a lonely soul
Trying to leave the past the sorrow and the lies
How can I forgive someone who
just doesn't understand
That true love is gone away
Maybe it's for the best to live
these lives on our own
To say goodbye still I wonder why
Please help me ease the pain
I'm lost I can't find my way
Hope and pray it will end in time the pain inside
Can somebody hear I'm crying for shelter
Please help me see this through
A world that can no longer feel
Seems that they have abandoned me forgotten me
Do I blame myself
Save me from being alone
(To live in a house
(Without your love)
(Still wonder why)
(Can somebody hear)
(Can somebody hear)
(I'm crying for shelter)
Save me from being alone
