Foreshadowing in OMAM

In the book, Of Mice and Men, the author, John Steinbeck, uses foreshadowing to give us an idea of what could happen in the future. In the very beginning of the book, we learn that Lennie has a disability. The main issue he has is he cannot remember things very well. George, his friend, consistently has to remind Lennie of where they are going and where they came from. Lennie also has trouble keeping a job because of his disability. George has a quick temper and gets angry at Lennie for getting them fired, "You can't keep a job and you lose me ever' job I get" (11). A couple days before they leave for the new job, George tells Lennie, "If you jus' happen to get in trouble like you always done before, I want you to come right here an' hide in the brush" (15). This foreshadows that Lennie will probably either lose this job or have trouble keeping it.
