Part 2:

In part 1 and 2 of the novel Of Mice and Men we got introduced to several new characters. Some characters we are introduced to are Curly, Curly's wife, Candy, Slim, and the boss. One character that stood out to me was the boss.The boss stood out to me because he seemed mysterious and inquisitive by asking tons of questions to Lennie and George but not telling them about him and his personality. The boss is physically described as a little stocky man, wearing blue jean trousers, a flannel shirt, a black, unbuttoned vest and a black coat. He is the kind of person who puts his thumbs in his belt on each side of a square steel buckle. The boss also had a soiled brown Stetson hat on his head, he wore high-heeled boots and spurs to prove he was not a laboring man. The bosses actions were sometimes intimidating and sometime like he was questioning you, the boss entered the room with George and Lennie with short, quick steps of a fat legged man, the boss also squinted at people when they didn't quit get their story straight. I learned these things about the boss when he first saw/met Lennie and George, George was doing all the talking. Lennie didn't even speak a word to the boss, this made the boss suspicious that George and Lennie were hiding something and when the boss started questioning them I knew he played an interesting role in the book. I think that this characters role in the story is to be in charge of the ranch, be Curly's father and make sure crazy wronged people don't come to work and get in trouble on the farm.
