The ending of Mice and Men

Dear All,

Thanks for spending your time reading my blog and leaving comments on them. If I have time later I will surely look at your comments. Thanks so much. It is a mordenised version of Mice and Men and its talking about the book yet I made it in a blog but as refered in the book, George kills Lennie. As this version George and Lennie go to Malaysia and work somewhere. A bit different but i thought would be interesting to find what Lennie can do. Although with his condition like that.

So Enjoy!

"I have no choice" but yet...there is a possibility!

Dear Diary,

After I met up with Lennie... I was talking to him like how we are both close friends. We were talking about the farm and all the other things that we usually talk about. After I was talking to him I felt that I had to kill him for his safety if not he will be suffering.

after a while, I was like I dont think by killing him is a good idea but I had an idea. Why not we go to Malaysia to work at Starbucks or Mc Donalds. I was thinking that at first, but at last I finally told him. He kinda agreed but at the same time I was telling myself, how do I make him work at those places as his condition is like that?.. It might be difficult. At the same time, I told him that we will work together and will work to get some money and possibly go back to some place to build our farm that we always wanted.

Anyway will stop here and will post again soon as I am a bit busy right now, thats all that I could post.
Bye!!!

Upset,Mad and Confused

Dear Diary,
Just a short post as I have been up for such a long period. Kinda tired...

Anyway, back to the story form the "At the Barn" post, everyone including Slim and Carlson were included. Everyone was trying to find the suspect of who killed Curley's wife. Everyone was panicking. Especially Lennie. He did not know what to do as he knows he is just looking for trouble.

From all that discussing with everyone involved, I went to look for lennie, but before that I stole Carlson's gun without letting anyone know. I didnt want anyone to know where Lennie is hiding.

Finally I found where Lennie is. He was waiting at the bush where we first talked and promised that if there is any problems come to this place which is the bush. Haha. Anyway we were talking and rethinking. We were just saying how we should move on and not think of the past.

Anyway I think its enough from the previous post and the continuation of this post. Will surely update tomorrow!
Bye....

At the Barn


Dear Diary,

It was Sunday afternoon. The resting horses nibbled the remaining wisps of hay and they stamped their feet and thy bit the wood. From outside I saw Lennie at the barn and Lennie sat in the hay beside a packing case. Lennie looked at the little dead puppy that was laying infront of him. He was stroking it with his fingers and was kinda talking to the dog.


Then, he was like, OMG! he suddenly remembered that the puppy was dead and the cause was from him. So he was trying to think of an alternative on how to not make it look like as if he did it!.


After a while, I came to see Lennie and seeing what he was up to. Ofcourse he didnt know that I knew what was going on. Some how rather, Curley's knew what was happening and said "I think you're nuts!"Then, after all that they both were talking in a kinda moderate tone. Somewhere in the conversation Lennie and Curley's wife were talking about how her hair is softer as she brushes it a lot. After sometime, he kinda stroked her hair softly.


Suddenly........ something happened without Lennie noticing at all. Lennie was choking her and shook her till she had a broken neck and was found dead. For a moment he knew that I will be obviously mad and he knew he did something wrong.


He quickly covered her with the hay like how he did with the puppy too.

Anyway will post another time as I have written kinda much. Will update soon.

Bye!!!

Met up with Crooks


Dear Diary,


Another day of work, but while we working, we met up with crooks(The only black ranch-hand. Like Candy, he is crippled: his nickname refers to a crooked back resulting from being kicked by a horse. He sleeps segregated from the other workers, and is embittered from discrimination). He is the negro stable buck and had his bunk in the harness room and a little shed that leaned off the wall of the barn.


That was a bit of information there that I gave about him. Anyway, he likes to be alone. He has no friends as people dont really like him. He is also crippled on top of that. I noticed from far what he was trying to do. I felt soory for him but I told myself that I wont go to him yet. He was sitting on his bunk all alone till Lennie noiselessly appeared in the open door way.

From far, I could see that they were sorta argueing about something. Couldnt hear much but saw how the actions were like.


After afew hours, I heard Crooks talking about me to Lennie. He was saying some bad things about me to Lennie and made him frightened. Somehow rather, Candy came into the picture and started blabbering about what they were talking about... from far I could sense there was something going on... but I held on.


Anyway I couldnt be bothered to keep on spying on them.. and now I want to go and sleep. Its already late and I want to look for Lennie. I wonder where he is.

Bye!!!

The first few days of work..

Dear Diary,

It was at first quite akward. Lennie was keen of doing work, but I was not so. We then met with Slim. He was at first unfriendly, but after a while, he came and talked to me. He asked a few questions, Ofcourse Lennie kept quiet the whole time.

After a few days, we met Carlson. He wanted Candy to shoot his old dog with a gun. Candy was so reluctant to do because he said that he had the dog for quite some time. After what Carlson had told him he was willing to release him to Carlson. Candy was very sad. I tried to console him and it worked. I was telling him on how our farm was like.

Although there was evening brightness showing through the windows, Slim ( main driver of a mule team) and George came into the darkening bunk house together. They played cards together.

Then after that evening, Whit(the ranch-hand) said that the guys usually hang out at the old Susy's place. She would laugh always and crackin with loads of jokes. Her place is clean and has nice chairs. After that nite, the door opened, Lennie and Carlson came in together. Lennie trying to get attention while Carlson reached for his bunk and brought out his bag.

A lot of things happened in this past few days and quite tiring. Anyway I will post more tomorrow ya. I think its enough now.
will update soon.....

Entering into a whole new life


Dear diary,

It started of like this... after I explained about the scenary to you, I kinda dreamt of something. It is kinda like something that Lennie and I would really want to have but at the same time have no money. As the dream came along, I dreamt of having a farm with full of colourful rabbits and other animals on the farm. I havent told Lennie yet but soon I will.


As the days go by, we kinda got a job in this farm out of no where. It was pretty big. At the same time we met up with Candy who showed us around and saw our new boss. He was kinda weird but at the same time nice. He brought us around and showed us around the farm. Lennie and I thought for awhile....


After that moment, he suddenly came up with that same idea, and didnt want me to leave him as both of us said that we will make sure that that dream came true.
The bunk house we stayed in was a long, rectangular building. Inside was kinda whitewashed and the floor unpainted. Against the walls were eight bunks, five of them were blankets and the other were burlap ticking. It also had two shelves for personal stuff also with little articles here and there, and ofcourse many other things.
I think thats all for now as I am going to bed now. Will update soon
George
