i got a b in an essay on this last week :)

Like Pip, I'm reading this for my English GSCE, it's a great book. I also disagree about the ending, which is actually pretty good, plus you kind of see it coming.

Lenny :'(

Yeah, it's part of the English GCSE for everyone here, I think - I know I studied it too

I didnt see it coming until George got to where Lenny was. Then I was all 'Oh please no.'

Ashyra Nightwing · April 28, 2012, 10:04:05 AM

I can never remember George's name. I always just think of 'Carl'

I don't watch the Simpsons.. (sorry)

And Lol I spelled Lennie wrong in my previous post.

Ashyra Nightwing · April 28, 2012, 10:37:56 AM

It's Carl and Lenny. :P

you don't know that, you're not a doctor

I saw the Simpsons movie, somehow. It was really weird. I dont think those fellas were in it.

Lennie is good and all, but Crooks is a beast. :P

I think it's actually a pretty good book to analyze, in terms of detail. Unlike in poetry, I accept that (most of) the stuff we analyze is probably intentional.

Krowdon · April 28, 2012, 01:49:55 PM

Yup. I have to analyze it next year but for now I'll just enjoy the story.

Firetooth · April 28, 2012, 01:52:43 PM

Yeah, you do lose the appreciation after analyzing it. Or maybe it's just because I didn't bring another reading book to lessons, and now I've read it about 10 times...I can probably recite it by heart.

Holby nearly accidentally killed a bilby that he was holding at the zoo. I called him Lenny. I'm such a literary wit.

Firetooth · April 28, 2012, 01:57:11 PM

*It's actually spelled Lennie. :P

Bilby? Why are Australian animals so weirdly named.
