Of Mice and Men 
The only real big animal that has been mentioned so far is mice. There are respected because Lennie likes them and also likes to kill them. Lennie has a past of liking mice and are so far a big part of why Lennie and George got into a fight.
Comment by swgama March 28, 2007 @ 3:47 pmNo animals have been mentioned besides mice. Mice play a main role in this book because Lennie likes the texture of their fur.
Comment by wamanda March 28, 2007 @ 4:46 pmI agree mice are important and mentioned a lot in chapert 1 tehy are what Lennie calls his pets and loves to pet them but since there so small he kills them easily. In chapter 2 dogs are also mentioned. Theres alot of them on the farm and one just had babies. Lennie wantes to have one of them and thats how the chapter ends, im not sure how they are respected yest.
Comment by doplato March 28, 2007 @ 5:25 pmThe only animal that has been mentioned in the book is mice. Mice is the only animal because Lennie likes to pet them and he likes the texture of it.
Comment by 10love March 28, 2007 @ 8:09 pmThe animal that has been mentioned in the book is mice, which is the animal that Lennie likes to pet the fur. Yes it’s respected because Lennie will do whatever he can to get a mouse.
Comment by knwilliam March 28, 2007 @ 9:13 pmThe animals i remember mentioned in this book were mice, and dogs. The mice were Lennie’s upsession, and the boss had a really old dog that smelled. Also one of their cabin mates has a dog that just had pups.
Comment by kligsfosho March 28, 2007 @ 9:23 pmThe most talked about animals are mice. Lennie likes to pet them but usually ends up killing them on accident. I think that he might get in trouble for his fetish of softness.
Comment by DavidOBrien722 March 28, 2007 @ 9:34 pmThe only animal mentioned in the book so far was the mouse. The mouse belonged to Lenny and it was dead. Lenny loves his dead mouse and will do whatever to keep it.
Comment by emearhart March 28, 2007 @ 9:35 pmMice are the most talked about because so far all we hear is Lennies talking about how he loves how soft mice are and how George criticizes him for killing too many mice
Comment by seanfl March 28, 2007 @ 9:37 pmI agree with George that mice are not good pets and you shouldnt have them. Then i see that Lennie really wants this mouse and its important to him so i think that if he takes care of it then he can keep it.
Comment by Derrty March 29, 2007 @ 8:25 amTwo other animals besides mice have been mentioned, even in chapter 1. What does Lennie want? What does George suggeste he get?
Comment by Miss Fowler March 29, 2007 @ 8:56 amIN CHAPTER 1 THE MAIN ANIMAL TALKED ABOUT IS A MOUSE. LENNIE LIKES TOO PET THE MICE BUT MOST OF THE TIME ENDS UP KILLING THEM. I DO NOT THINK A MOUSE IS A GOOD PET.
Comment by timmypp March 29, 2007 @ 12:14 pmANOTHER ANIMAL MENTIONED IN THE STORY SO FAR IS A SNAKE.
Comment by timmypp March 29, 2007 @ 12:16 pmThe only animals that have been introudced are mice and how lennie likes them and likes to kill them, Im not really sure why though.
Comment by janisd March 29, 2007 @ 12:20 pmI think that they only mentioned mice in the first chapter .
Comment by psgeiger March 29, 2007 @ 2:53 pmThe animals that have been mentioned so far are mice and rabbits. Lennie loves anythink soft or that he can touch, so we know that Lennie loves rabbits and mice.
Comment by blueyedbabiix022 March 29, 2007 @ 3:14 pmThe animals that I can remember in the story so far have been mice, rabbits, and Candy’s dog. Mice and rabbits are what Lennie loves because they are so soft and Lennie loves to pet them. Candy’s dog is refered to when Candy is cought spying on George and Lennie and it is a really old dog
Comment by seanfl March 30, 2007 @ 9:29 amAnother animal mentioned is rabbits, because that is Lennies dream to own rabbits on a farm.
Comment by doplato March 31, 2007 @ 7:37 pmThe animals mentioned so far in the book are mice and rabbits. These animals are mentioned because these are the animals Lennie likes to touch.
Comment by wamanda April 1, 2007 @ 12:37 pmThey mentioned one of the worker’s old dog and also another worker’s dog who is about to have puppies. I don’t think the old dog is respected because he doesn’t seem to be taken care of very well. They have also mentioned mice and Lennie respects the mice, dead or alive.
Comment by laurenxxs April 1, 2007 @ 7:12 pmblueyedbabiix022 – Thanks for bringing up the rabbits!
laurenxxs – thanks for remembering about the dog. Who does he belong to?
Comment by Miss Fowler April 1, 2007 @ 10:20 pmThey talk about mice rabbits and dogs. George says that he migth get lennie a dog because he can pet them harder than mice.
Comment by curlygrace13 April 2, 2007 @ 2:59 pmthe dog in the book belongs to candy …………… i think
Comment by epszczolkowski April 3, 2007 @ 10:05 amthey talk about mice, rabbits & dogs. George tells Lennie that he might get him a dog so when he pets it hard it won’t die like the mice. Lennie & George dream of haveing rabbitts, different colored ones at it. I would have to say they kinda of are and kinda of are not respected, they are because Lennie lennie likes to pet the mice, & that shows respect and care, but they are not because Lennie kills them while petting them. As for the dogs & rabbitts i would say yes they are respected because they say alot of good things about them.
Comment by jjspencer April 3, 2007 @ 3:02 pmThere haven’t been to many animals that were mentioned, but I have heard of mice, rabbits, Candy’s dog, cattle and bugs and critters in the cots. Candy’s dog is respected by Candy and not really respected by George. Lennie kills all the mice, he respects them but is unaware that he is hurting them. It seems like the animals are important on the ranch so I would think that they are respected.
Comment by rsborn April 3, 2007 @ 3:54 pmSome animals that we’ve seen in the novel so far are mice, Candy’s dog, cattle on the ranch, and rabbits. These animals are treated with respect by their owners and most are able to run free. Lennie usually ends up killing the mice but not on purpous. He just doesn’t know his own strength.
Comment by adesi April 3, 2007 @ 4:43 pmThe animals mentioned in the book so far are mice and dogs. Lennie is known to accidently kill mice and the dogs were on a farm.
Comment by nwantoinette April 4, 2007 @ 7:06 amThe animals in the book so far are mice, dogs and the rabbits that Lennie wants on his ranch.Lennie likes the mice because he like the feel of there fur.
Comment by FSTARR April 4, 2007 @ 8:49 amThe animals metioned so far were mice, that were usually given to Lennie by his Aunt. But Lennie usually kills them because when they bit him, he squeezes them too hard and kills them. The other animals metioned are rabbits, which both Lennie and George want to have. Lastly, they metion dogs because Lennie can pet them without hurting them and always wanted one. Candy owns a old dog and a worker at the ranch just got new puppies, but the worker said if he can’t find good homes for most of them he will kill them.
Comment by nb14 April 4, 2007 @ 1:32 pmThere were teo animals in the book so far, mice and dogs
Comment by cghirohito April 4, 2007 @ 5:16 pmthe mouse is look ed at in a good way, well at least from lenies point of view, and the dog is looked at in both good and bad, the old dog, and the younger dog that had a litter of puppies
the dead moue as being well dead and he rabbits as being soft plus candys dog as being stinky and slow
Comment by kkbruce April 5, 2007 @ 9:48 amIn the book so far, there have been three animals mentioned. One was a mouse/ or mice, second there was the mentioning of rabbits, and third there was a dog mentioned. Lennie wants to get mice, because he likes to pet them. Rabbits are what Lennie wants to get when he and George own their own ranch. Candy owns a dog and George suggests that he get one for Lennie. Most of these animals are respected.
P.S.
I don’t think a football would make a very good Christmas present.
Comment by nw61 April 12, 2007 @ 10:13 amA dog was mentioned in the story. Curley is very connected to the dog because he has been around it for so long. Lennie likes to pet mice because they are soft. There are also pups. Lennie gets to have one since George threw away his mouse. The animals are respected, except for by Slim. Slim want’s too shoot the dog.
Comment by 10kmiller April 16, 2007 @ 3:57 pmLennie likes mice and he respects them but George does not. He likes the mice because they are soft and he likes to pet them as he walks. Candy has a dog and he likes and respects him but Carlson doesn;t he wants to shoot the dog. Slim’s dog just had a litter but he keeps killing the puppies so he doesn’t have to keep them. The dog is respected but it’s puppies aren’t.
Comment by jacquiem April 16, 2007 @ 4:45 pmI agree with Geroge that mice arent pets. Then when i see Lennie and how much he cares for them i thiink he should be able to keep his mice.
Comment by derrty April 24, 2007 @ 8:31 amAnimals mentioned in this book have been Mice, Candy’s dog, and rabbits. Lennie finds mince to hold and pet but he kills them because he doesn’t know his own strength. Candy’s dog is old and has been with Candy since a puppy. And Lennie is obsessed with rabbits and wants to tend them one day when they get their ranch.
Comment by rachypachy April 26, 2007 @ 7:07 pmI think that Lennie shoudent be able to take care of any animals because he dosen’t even know how to take care of an animal let alon a animal.
Comment by rwpollock May 18, 2007 @ 2:22 pmthe only animal mentioned so far in the book is mice. lennie loves mice because they are soft and he likes to touch soft things.
