Question

Curley's "eyes flashed over George, took in his height, measured his reach, looked at his trim middle." What do you think Curley is thinking? Refer to the text in your answer.

Answer 1

Curley is sizing George up for a fight. Curley hates being a small guy. He is a boxer and always wants to prove he is as tough as bigger guys. This is how he compensates for his small stature. (You'll have to find the page it's on.)
