Chapter 2- Personal Response

In Chapter Two, we start to see more of how difficult their lives are and will be. Foreshadow and symbolism also begins in this chapter with Candy's dog. Candy's dog symbolises the weak people in society and how they are put down. It is considered foreshadow because Candy's regret of not shooting his own dog influences George's decision to shoot Lennie. We are introduced to almost the rest of the characters in this chapter; the boss, Candy, Curely, Carlson, Slim, and Curely's wife.
