when Lennie does something really bad he is supposed to go hide in the brush where they had camped the night before they went into work.
Lennie brings a dead puppy into the bunkhouse and tries to hide it from George. He accidentally kills the puppy while petting it too hard, causing him distress and guilt.

His Puppy
Cause Lennie wanted some rabbits, like?
George shot Lennie with a luger pistol that he had taken from a fellow ranch worker.
because being a small man
George wants to go into the bunkhouse before the others learn Curley's wife is dead because he knows it will lead to trouble, especially for Lennie. He wants to assess the situation and possibly come up with a plan to protect Lennie from the consequences of this tragic event.
Candy asks George if there is any chance he can join them in owning a piece of land and working together.
Curley thinks Lennie's smiling is a sign of agreeing with the rest of the characters in the bunk house when they are all laughing at him. Curley also simply saw this as a chance to attack Lennie because being a small man, he had what the characters call "small man syndrome" and likes to pick on big guys, "Kinda mad at them 'cause they ain't a big guy."
I'm headed for the bunk house right now.
"Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck is a novella set during the Great Depression that follows the story of two migrant workers, George and Lennie, as they seek employment and a place to call their own. Lennie, who has a mental disability, inadvertently gets them into trouble wherever they go due to his childlike nature and immense strength. The story explores themes of friendship, loneliness, and the harsh realities of the American Dream.
he doesn't want to let lennie in his room because lennie is white and crooks, being black, isn't allowed in the white bunk house, so why should a white man be allowed in his room? he changes his mind because he wants someone to talk to and feels grateful for the company.
He fines a trap for insects, which makes him think they are trying to poison him or something.
Lennie's fascination with small and soft things, like mice and puppies, and his inability to control his strength in handling them shows that he lacks the mental capacity to understand the consequences of his actions. Slim observes Lennie's innocence and childlike behavior, which leads him to believe that Lennie is not intentionally mean or wicked, but rather simply lacks awareness of his own strength.
* George and Lennie are shown sneaking into a train at night to escape from Weed. This was not mentioned in the book.* The bus is shown to be heading for Tyler Ranch which angers George as the bus driver told him and Lennie to get off the bus earlier on in the movie.* In the movie, Slim tells George to bring a mule with a sore foot to the barn. Only Curley's wife was around and starts a conversation with George which was later interrupted by Curley. Curley tells her to return to the house and issues a warning to George.* Though not mentioned in the book, Curley is seen practicing on a punching bag outside his house with his wife watching in boredom.* A worker named Mike approaches Slim and asks him whether he could switch jobs with someone else as he could not keep up with Lennie. This was not mentioned in the book.* The conversation between Lennie, Crooks, Candy, and Curley's wife was cut from the movie.* The part where Lennie hallucinates about Aunt Clara and the giant rabbit was also cut.* George could not find Lennie in the brush but instead embraced with Lennie in the water.* In the book, George shoots Lennie with a luger pistol but in the film he uses a colt revolver.* The ending was also changed: in the book, George remains on the ranch, while in the film, George is seen riding alone in yet another boxcar to his next destination in both the introduction and the ending, indicating that George fled after killing Lennie, and is reminiscing on past events during the ride.* At the end of the novel Slim, Curley and Carlson come to find Lennie dead and George with the gun in his hand. George lies and tells the men that Lennie took Carlson's gun and he tells them that he took the gun away from Lennie and shot him in the back of his neck. The book ends with Slim saying "You hadda George. I swear you hadda." and the two walking away. Curley then asks Carlson whats bugging the two. This scene was completely cut out of the movie and replaced with George's flashbacks.Hope this Helped! :D
