Part 2:
Through out the second part of Of Mice and Men, I noticed foreshadowing between Curley and Candy's dog on page thirty-seven. The dog "sniffed, and then lay down and put his head between his paws. Curley popped into the doorway... The dog raised his head, but when Curley jerked out, the grizzle head sank to the floor again" (37). I think this shows that the dog thinks that Curley is not trustworthy or is not a good person to be around. Dogs can sense many things such as danger, so when the dog put his head on the floor when Curley walked in, he felt endangered by him. The dog also seemed to be very attentive to Curley and watchful of what he was doing. The dog's reaction with Curley compared to his reaction to George and Lennie because he felt that he could trust George and Lennie so much that he could sleep in front of him, but when Curley appeared in the doorway he was very alert. Candy's dog's actions showed me that Curley is not to be trusted and he will soon do something bad in the upcoming chapters.
