Chapter 2
The Boss

This picture shows the boss fairly well, because it shows a sense of sophistication and status, and he also looks somewhat trustable and respectable, but there is something dark about him.

Candy

I like this picture of Candy because although he has two hands in this picture, he is doing an easy job that could be done by a person with one hand. It is similar to the types of jobs Candy was given in the book. It reminds me even more of Candy if you just imagine the sheep as Candy's dog.The only issue with this picture is that Candy seems a little too happy.

Candy's Dog

This is a good picture of Candy's dog because the dog looks like it has lived a long worthwhile life, and we can see that he is tired and his life is pretty much done.
Curley

This is good for Curley, except I think that the person in this picture looks a little to happy, but otherwise he is small and has a sort of different side that we don't see, as in the book

Carlson

This is good for Carlson because he has a sort of look like has worked on a ranch or far for a long time, except I think Carlson was fatter and less jovial.

Slim

This is an almost perfect picture of Slim because he has a whip, he looks very honest, and he looks knowledgeable and like he has been a rancher for years.

Personal Response
I think the second chapter did a good job of introducing us to the ranch and the other workers. It also set up a good setting in which the story could take a lot of different turns. This chapter had lots of imagery, and i really enjoyed reading it.
