Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Why were George and Lennie chased out of Weed?

Answer: Lennie touched a girl's dress

It's not as crazy as it sounds. Lennie wanted to touch it because he thought it looked really pretty. The girl got scared and screamed, and Lennie just held on more tightly. Of course everyone thought Lennie had harmed her so they had to escape before they got lynched.
2. What was the name of Lennie's aunt?

Answer: Clara

Aunt Clara means a lot to Lennie still. We can see this at the end of the book when he is hiding and he imagines Aunt Clara telling him off for what he has done.
3. Why was the ranch boss suspicious of George?

Answer: He thought he was stealing Lennie's pay

The boss tells George that he'll be watching him. He thinks George is taking away Lennie's pay or something. It's so unusual for two migrant workers to be such close friends.
4. What was the story that Slim thought up to explain what happened to Curley's hand?

Answer: It got caught in a machine

Slim knew that Curley could make a lot of trouble for them, especially George and Lennie, so he came up with this story to hide the truth.
5. What really happened to Curley's hand?

Answer: Lennie crushed it

Curley went along with the machine story because he fancied himself as "handy" and he didn't want people to know that Lennie had beaten him up.
6. What did Curley's wife want to be when she was younger?

Answer: An actress

She confesses to Lennie that twice she was offered the chance to be in the movies. The second time a man she met at a dance hall told he he would write to her about it but she never received the letter. She always believed that her mother stole it. It was because of this that she was so eager to leave home and so she married Curley.
7. Which of the ranch men do the others all look up to the most?

Answer: Slim

Slim is described as "God-like." He inspires confidence in the other men. George instinctively trusts him and so tells him about his and Lennie's past. He knows it is safe to do so: "You won't tell? No of course you wouldn't."
8. Apart from his aunt who does Lennie see a vision of at the end of this book?

Answer: A rabbit

The rabbit is scornful of him. He tells him how he would have forgot to feed the rabbits and that he let George down.
9. Who offers his money to George and Lennie so that he can live on their dream ranch too?

Answer: Candy

Candy is worried what will happen to him when he is too old to work. He saw what happened to his dog when it became useless and he is afraid that the men might treat him in a similar way.
10. When Lennie talks of the rabbits what does he talk of feeding them?

Answer: Alfalfa

I have no idea what alfalfa is (other than some kind of rabbit food). Lennie says they would have a big patch of it and it would be his job to feed it to the rabbits.
