George
What city in California does the novel begin?
Soledad
A powerful, big-stomached man who comes into the bunkhouse

Curley's wife
"A little stocky man stood in the open doorway. He wore blue jean trousers, a flannel shirt, a black, unbuttoned vest and a black coat. His thumbs were stuck in his belt, on each side of a square steel buckle. On his head was a soiled brown Stetson hat, and he wore high heeled boots and spurs to prove he was not a laboring man."
The Boss
In what city had George and Lennie been working before they arrived at the ranch?

To keep Lennie from revealing past trouble
"a huge man, shapeless of face, with large, pale eyes, and wide, sloping shoulders; and he walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws. His arms did not swing at his sides, but hung loosely."

Why George doesn't want Lennie to leave him?
