    2. What unusual habits did Whitey, the former bunkhouse resident, have?
    The former bunkhouse resident was named Whitney. He was different than the rest of the men from the
    bunkhouse, in the way that he was very clean. He would ...wash his hands even after he ate. (Steinbeck 18).
    He also boiled and took out all of the spots in his potatoes, and tried to kill any lice, roaches, and other insects
    even though he didnt know whether or not there were any.
    3. Whom did the boss punish because George and Lennie were late? Why?
    The boss gave the ...stable buck hell (Steinbeck 19) when George and Lennie were late because the stable
    buck was African American, and the boss took out his anger on him.
    4. Why does George answer all the questions directed to Lennie?
    George answers all the questions directed at Lennie because he is afraid that Lennie will say something that
    makes them lose their job.
    5. How does the boss react to Georges friendship with Lennie?
    When George brags about how good of a worker Lennie is, the boss becomes suspicious. He asks Lennie, I
    said what stake you got in this guy? You takin his pay away from him? (Steinbeck 22). The boss had never
    seen one man help another man out, like the way George was helping Lennie.
    6. What excuse does George give to the boss for Lennies slowness?
    George makes an excuse for Lennies slowness when he says that Lennie was ...kicked in the head by a horse
    when he was a kid. (Steinbeck 22).

    In reaction to Lennies silence, Curley first says, Let the big guy talk. (Steinbeck 25). After Lennie doesnt
    respond, Curley says, By Christ, hes gotta talk when hes spoke to. (Steinbeck 25). Curley doesnt like bigger
    guys, so he is trying to pick a fight with Lennie and finds it rude that Lennie didnt respond to him.
    8. What does Curly think about George and Lennies traveling together?
    When George says to Curley that he and Lennie travel together, Curley responds by saying, Oh, so its that
    way. (Steinbeck 25). It is obvious that Curley doesnt like how they travel together. He then questions George
    on why he doesnt let Lennie talk, and George says that Lennie talks when he wants to.
    9. Explain the swampers statement: Curleys pretty handy. What does he mean?
    When the swamper says that ...Curleys pretty handy. (Steinbeck 26) he means that Curley is a good fighter.
    Curley likes to pick fights.
    10. What uneasy feeling does George have about Curleys wife?
    George thinks that Curleys wife is a tramp and a tart. He also says that ...shes a rat-trap if I ever seen
    one. (Steinbeck 32). George tells Lennie to watch out for her, and not get involved with her, because she could
    put Lennie in a bad position.
