Candy is missing an arm. He also has a really old dog. Candy likes the boss and tells George and Lennie about the other people around the place. He also puts George to the test to see if he can be trusted.
Comment by doplato March 28, 2007 @ 5:29 pmCandy likes to talk about everyone on the ranch. He’s old and has no hand. His dog is really old and is smelly and almost blind. Candy said some inapproproiate things to George to see how he would react and if he could trust George.

Comment by ms07 March 30, 2007 @ 3:10 pmCandy is older looking with a white beard. He seems to have a nice personality because the loves his dog, who is also very old. He also shares news or gossip about the other ranch workers to George and Lennie. But on the other hand his racist side shows when he repeatedly calls the black worker a n*****.

Comment by wamanda April 1, 2007 @ 12:31 pmCandy, like everyone said, is old, and missing an arm. He also likes to gossip and talk about people on the ranch. He tested George and Lennie, so I think he is cautious in who he is friends with. All around I think he’s a good hearted man, he was friendly to George and Lennie even though he just met them.

Comment by emearhart April 1, 2007 @ 10:13 pmms07 – Your point about trust is important. He was really testing the two men to see if he could accept them.

Comment by 10kmiller April 4, 2007 @ 12:26 pmCandy is a older worker at the ranch. He is a bit of a gossip, but this helps George and Lennie know what’s going on at the ranch.

Comment by mudisfun10 May 1, 2007 @ 8:20 pmI think that Candy is introduced as a old man with no hand. He is also very noisy. The only family member that candy had was his dog which was really old and smelled and he was also almost blind. At the beginning of the book Candy wanted to know if he could trust George and Lennie so He gossips about some of the guys on the ranch to see if they would say anything.
