Part 2

In part 2, there were many instances of foreshadowing. One example of foreshadowing was about Candy's old dog and the new puppies. Carlson said, "Why'n't you get Candy to shoot his old dog and give him one of the pups to raise up?" (36) This shows how Candy's dog is causing problems. I think the dog will die soon and Candy will get a new dog. When he gets a new dog, no one will have to complain about it anymore. Also, Lennie wants one of Slim's new puppies and that could be a problem because of the way Lennie treats animals (not knowing he is so strong). The third instance of foreshadowing was with Candy's wife. She came into the room with George and Lennie and was basically flirting with them. Lennie thought she was very, "purdy." George said, "Don't you even take a look at that b****." (32) I think this means that George knows Curley's wife can cause trouble and he doesn't want Lennie getting into it. This shows how Candy's wife could be a problem in the near future.
