I shouldn’t oughtta of let no stranger shoot my dog." Explain the parallelism between the relationship Candy had with his dog and the one George has with Lennie. How might this statement be an example of foreshadowing?

Answer 1

George wouldn't let other people hurt Lennie. He would only allow himself to do something; Lennie and the dog both need someone else to survive

Step-by-step explanation:

the parallelism between the relationship Candy had with his dog and the one George has with Lennie is that George wouldn't let other people hurt Lennie. He would only allow himself to do something; Lennie and the dog both need someone else to survive.

This is an example of foreshadowing because at the beginning, there is a hint that candy had the intention of shoting the dog of which George wouldn't allow someone he doesn't know to shot his dog.
