What animal would you say Curley is most like? (Focus on pages 24–27.) (Note: This may seem like a silly question, but it really is asking you to be able to analyze him with evidence and make an inference.)

Curley is like an aggressive little dog. I think Steinbeck describes him as a "terrier" at one point. Curley has a major case of small-guy complex. He wants to attack and intimidate other men, most who are bigger than him.
