George and Lennie had lost their previous job because Lennie was going to get blamed for raping a girl that lived in the farm in Weeds. You see the lady was wearing silky dress and since Lennie loved to touch soft things he wanted to touch the dress and keep it. When Lennie touched the dress and the girl screamed. Lennie got really scared that George had to hit him with a fence post. The girl claimed that she got raped and that is when George and Lennie hid in a irrigation ditch and ran away that same night.

  1. George decides not to go on to the ranch until the next day. He wanted to have one more day of freedom. He knows that once they arrived at the ranch, they will be ordered around and will have no say in what they do. This shows that George does not like to be told what to do and that he likes to be in control.
