  1. What two visions does Lennie have down by the river. Why do you think Steinbeck includes these visions?
  2. What surprises Lennie about George's behavior when he meets him by the river? What does Lennie want from George? Why?
  3. Explain the reaction of the men when they reach the scene. How is Slim's reaction different from Carlson's? Why?
  4. Finally, do you agree with George's decision to shoot Lennie? Explain.
