because he killed his puppy
In "Of Mice and Men," the gigantic rabbit taunts Lennie by repeating a warning that Lennie will not get to tend the rabbits. This symbolizes Lennie's fear and guilt over not being able to care for the rabbits due to his actions.
Lennie from John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" always talks about tending the rabbits on the dream farm that he and George hope to own one day. He finds comfort and solace in the idea of being able to take care of the rabbits.
Lennie fears that he will not be able to tend the rabbits if he hurts Curley, as George has promised. He is also scared of getting in trouble with George and not being able to achieve his dream of owning a farm with rabbits.
George tells Lennie that if he behaves and follows their plan, he will be able to tend the rabbits on their dream farm and take care of them. George knows that this idea brings joy and comfort to Lennie, who loves animals. The dream of tending the rabbits also serves as a motivation for Lennie to stay out of trouble and work towards their shared goal of having their own piece of land.
Lennie is most excited about living off the "fatta the lan'" and tending to the rabbits on their dream farm with George. He looks forward to having a place of their own and being able to take care of the soft animals like rabbits - something that brings him comfort and joy.
Lennie wants to tend to the rabbits on the dream farm where he and George hope to live one day. He dreams of being able to take care of the soft animals and not have to worry about anything else.
Lennie was thinking about not being able to tend the rabbits because he thought George would give him hell cos he talked to Curley's wife 😊 Lennie was in a state of panic as he held onto Curley's wife, he did not want George to find out about her screaming so he covered her mouth.
In "Of Mice and Men," two animals die: the puppy that Lennie accidentally kills by petting too hard, and the future dream of having rabbits that Lennie will not be able to tend to after George is forced to shoot him.
Crooks initially mocks Lennie about the dream but later reveals his own deep desire for companionship and belonging. Crooks responds this way because he is lonely and marginalized due to his race, feeling that dreams like these are not attainable for someone like him in that time period.
Curley's wife dream was to be in the movies, but because of this death she won't be able to live. Lennie's dream was to have their own ranch and have lots of rabbits, but since he killed someone he will have to be hung, or go to a circus and he won't be allowed to go outside anymore.
George and Lennie's dream in "Of Mice and Men" was to one day own a piece of land where they could live off the fat of the land and be their own bosses. They dreamed of having a small farm with animals and crops, where they could be independent and live a peaceful life.
Crooks' first reply to Lennie telling him about the land is skepticism, as he is not convinced that George and Lennie will actually be able to achieve their dream of owning a piece of land. He questions Lennie about the feasibility of their plan and whether they truly understand the obstacles they may face.
