talk much to me, as always, but then again I really dont enjoy talking to him either. Hes a truly malevolent person; Ive never heard him say anything good about anyone not even his own father! I dont think he truly cares for me, either. He sees me as his property, and sometimes he even vents out his anger at me.
The men working here arent much better, either. They probably just see me as Curleys property, too. They wont even talk nicely to me. Whats wrong with me? Why cant I talk to people when Im lonely? Is it wrong for me to have a conversation with anyone I wished once in a while? That reminds me of last nights talk with Curley he was so angry… and he “accidentally” kicked me. My leg still hurts. One day, someone will put a stop to him… I know that I wouldnt be able to. What would I do, anyway? If I told anyone, Curley would probably talk his way out of it.
Life would be much better if I had never married Curley… Life would be much better if my mother denied me the opportunity to have a better life and live comfortably.
