Lennie: Lacking in Self Control?

        Lennie has very little self control over himself in difficult situations. He can usually keep his strength under control if George yells at him enough. When Curley was beating him up, Lennie tried so hard to keep his strength under control. He kept looking at George to help him. Lennie kept saying, "'Make 'um leave me alone, George."' (63). He said this so George would help him instead of resorting to violence. George didn't help him not hurt Curley, but he encouraged Lennie to fight back. He continuously said to Lennie, "'Get 'im Lennie"' (63). After listening to George, Lennie grabbed onto Curley's hand until he squeezed too hard and broke it. I personally think that Lennie didn't want to hurt Curley, but he listened to George. Lennie always listens what George says. If George didn't tell him to, Lennie wouldn't have hurt Curley. Curley promised not to get Lennie and George in trouble with his dad, their boss, but I think he lied. He probably is going to tell his dad, and Lennie and George will be fired. If they are fired, Lennie and George won't be able to achieve their dream, their own house and ranch.
