In part 3 there is conflict between Curley and Lennie or a big fight between them. During the fight scene a characteristic that is clarified in the scene is where George is trying to help or coaching Lennie to fight back. "Get 'im, Lennie!" This quote explains that George believes in Lennie that he is strong enough to take down a meat-headed bully like Curley. Another character that I found interesting was Lennie. He didn't want to fight at all and wanted to get out of it by repeating, "Make 'um let me alone, George." p. 63. Lennie doesn't like getting beat up and doesn't know what to do in this calamity against him. The fight scene is similar to the situation in Weed because of what Lennie does in an awkward and terrible situation. In the fight scene, "George slapped him in the face again, and again, and still Lennie held on to the closed fist." In Weed Lennie wanted to feel a lady's dress and when it didn't turn out the way it was supposed to Lennie held on to the lady's dress. I think Lennie does this because he doesn't know what to do, and he's scared and frightened by the situation. In a way the situation shocks him. Sometimes I get shocked and afraid like Lennie does and I don't know what to do. I remember one time I was at the City Museum for a birthday party, and me and a friend got lost trying to make it back to the group. I was so afraid I didn't know where to go or what to do so I panicked and couldn't think of where we were or where to go. Even though this situation isn't even close to what happened to Lennie, I still had the same feeling when I get scared and confused.
