What Character Stands Out

As I read the second part of Of Mice and Men I,  the reader, was introduced to many new characters that are really unique and different. The reader was introduced to Candy, Curly, Curly's Wife, Slim, Carlson, and Crooks. The character that stood out to me the most, besides George and Lennie, was Curly. Curly is the boss' son. Before Curly said that he was the boss' son the reader could already take a guess that they were related because Curly wore a lot of the same clothing as his father. Curly's physical features were sort of similar to George's. "[He was] a thin young man with a brown face, with brown eyes, and a head of tightly curled hair" (25) Curly demands a lot of respect from George and Lennie, but I think that Curly is intimidated by Lennie because he questions him the most. When Curly was first introduced Curly didn't seem to like George and Lennie that much whereas he "glanced coldly at George then Lennie" (25). George was talking for Lennie and Curly disapproved to he almost forced Lennie to talk but George figured out how to talk their way out of it. I predict that Curly will not be a helpful asset to George and Lennie moving forward in the book.
