forshadowing.
Carlson's Luger was taken by George and used to shoot Lennie at the end of the novel "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck. George used the gun as a merciful way to prevent Lennie from suffering a worse fate at the hands of others.
Metaphors.
In Of Mice and Men, it is stated that Carlson owns a Luger.
Out of his pants ;)
His gun
In "Of Mice and Men," Carlson says he has a Luger pistol.
Carlson's position at the ranch in "Of Mice and Men" was a ranch worker. He was a no-nonsense, practical man who was known for his toughness and lack of sentimentality. He owned the Luger pistol that he later used to shoot Candy's dog.
"Of Mice and Men" was first published under the same title in 1937.
George gets the gun in Chapter 2 of the book "Of Mice and Men" after it is given to him by Candy, who offers to join George and Lennie in their dream of owning a farm.
Mike orcutt is why the flashback happened.
George is the one who took Carlson's gun in 'Of Mice and Men'. He used it to shoot Lennie, as a mercy killing, to spare him from a more brutal death at the hands of the other ranch workers.
A similar event that happened to John Steinbeck back in 1942.

Georges's version of events differs from what actually happened by misrepresenting certain key details, omitting relevant information, or giving a biased perspective that skews the truth. This contradiction can create misunderstandings or misinterpretations of the true sequence of events.
