Part 2

Taking place in part 2 of the novel Of Mice and Men, we met a new character named Curley. Curley is a slender young man that has a complexion of a bronze/brown face that contain brown eyes, which are covered by the firm pack of curly hair that lays on his head. On the other hand, he speaks abrasively towards others showcasing that he is not someone to mess around with, and when debating he usually maintains a good stink eye. These traits physical and behavioral were first introduced to readers when the uptight character first approached George and Lennie in the bunkhouse, "his eyes passed over the new men and stopped" (Steinbeck 25). From this I think that Curley portrays a bump in the clearing, meaning that he displays a struggle that George and Lennie will have to learn on how to get over together.
