Ok so i had to answer a question..the question was "Describe in some detail the incident where Lennie crushes Curleys hand. What does this incident reveal about each of these two characters? My answer was...
Lennie was minding his own buisness, laughing at his puppy, but, Curley thought he was laughing at him. Well, Curley gets mad at Lennie and starts punching him, but, Lennie just sands there and takes it. Until, that is, when George tells Lemmie to get him. So Lennie grabs Curleys hand as Curley was about to punch him in the face. He starts hurting Curleys hand so everybodies yelling at him to let go. But, Lennie gets scared and holds on tighter and ends up crushing his hand.
What this incident reveals about Curley is that Curley is jealous if bigger guys (because hes small) so he starts fights with them. What is reveals about Lennie is that he dont know his own strenght, so he didnt realize he was crushing his hand.
Does that sound good..or is there tips on making it better?

The summary was great but you kind of missed the meaning. The question is a bit stupid but here:
Curly had always thought that he was all this tough and stuff so he went ahead and punched the big guy. Exploiting Lennie's mental handicap, he expected no retailation. But George who was watching all this wanted to diminish Curley's pride and ********* so he told Lennie to get him.
All this shows that Lennie was a gentle person who didn't want fight in comparison to Curley. Curley was small, proud, eager to fight, and didn't think at all. Lennie was big, not as proud, didn't want to fight, and only obeyed George.

That sounds good maybe you could add something about how he didn't even defend himself till George tells him to.

Right on, also Curly was always wanting to impress his woman didn't he? And jealous?
