Blog 7: The Boss

George says that Lennie is his slow cousin who was kicked in the head by a horse as a child, which is a lie. He suspects that George is taking Lennie's money and tells, "But don't try to put nothing over, 'cause you can't get away with nothing." He lies and says that Lennie is shy so that he won't ruin this job for them as he has in the past.

Pandora's Box

1. The one thing that did not make its way out of the box was the ability to know what's going to happen before it does. This would eliminate the idea of hope. All of society would be depressed and unsurprised each day.

2. If disease had not escaped Pandora's box, the world would never experience tragedies like plagues. Although these things are unfortunate, they keep the population in check. Without them, our planet would be too over populated.
