Power and Voice
Power is used through Curly, the owner of the farms son. He has alot of power over all of the workers on the farm. He tries to make fun of Lennie. Lennie is handicap so he tends to get made fun of alot by Curly. Curly and Lennie end up getting in a fight and Lennie breaks Curly's hand. So in a way, since Lennie beats Curly, he has power over Curly. George has power over what Lennie does and how he acts. Whatever George tells Lennie to do, he usually does it. Lennie doesn't really have his own voice, everyone is either telling him what to do or he doesn't speak up for himself. Even though Curly is small, he has alot of control over what people do on the farm. But after the fight he tends to shy away from Lennie around others because he doesn't want everyone to know that Lennie broke his hand.
