Friendship Stick Together In John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

“if George sees me talkin’ to you he’ll give me hell” (87). Lennie doesn’t understand that some of his actions are morally wrong. When George gets upset, Lennie becomes increasingly hard on himself, which causes more damage.

Because on Pg.14 it says “Course you did. Well, look. Lennie---if you jus’ happen to get in trouble like you always done before, I want you to come here an’ hide in the brush.” Meaning that George knew that Lennie would again get into more trouble.

For example, when Lennie talks about leaving and living in a cave, George tells him that he has to stay with him to survive. George does not like to hurt Lennie 's feeling, even though he does yell at him a lot. For example, when George is saying he would be better off without Lennie, but when he sees Lennie

This creates tension in the text because George knows that he shouldn't have said that to the other guys. He needs to protect Lennie or they will end up walking all over him. George's greatest challenge is to protect Lennie from Curley and Curley’s wife because he knows that they have so much power on the ranch. Curley's wife questions Lennie “Where’s you get them bruises on your face?” Lennie looked up guilty.

. George finds them places to live and work because he wants to be a good friend and companion to Lennie. He and Lennie are good friends because they balance each other out. They show each other different perspectives and they help each other see things differently. George shows Lennie love in weird ways.

We all may have had the feeling of loneliness and isolation, wanting companionship feeling abandonment. In John Steinbeck’s novella, Of Mice and Men, there are men living on a ranch having their own reasons for loneliness or being isolated. The three characters Crooks, George, and Lennie crusade dealing with own ways of loneliness and isolation. Crooks has no one that likes him because he’s black, Lennie struggles mentally and George struggles with always having to care for him. They all can’t decide whether it is that they want to be alone or not.

George and Lennie are the main characters in this story. They are two young friends who were left with nothing except some hopes and dreams. George and Lennie have dreamt of having and owning a small farm, but they were not able to fulfill their wishes because their lives were followed by heartbreaking failure. In the text, ‘Of Mice and Men’, friendship is portrayed in a very confusing way. It is dangerous so as to say.

In ‘Of Mice and Men’, written by John Steinbeck, friendship is portrayed as one of the main themes in this novella and a very important part of people’s lives. Steinbeck also portrays friendship by highlighting the importance of friendship and showing how its presence and absence can trigger many positive and negative emotions. Its presence creates hope, feeling of companionship and a sense of responsibility. In spite of friendship’s presence creating positive feelings, its absence does the complete opposite. It generates a feeling of loneliness and isolation.

George treated Lennie like a brother, he loved Lennie very dearly from the beginning to the

In the story Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck friendship became so meaningful to others. George and Lennie took care of each other, supported on another, and made sacrifices for one another. George and Lennie’s relationship shows us the true meaning of friendship. George and Lennie take care of one another. “…because I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that’s why.”

Curly said “I'm gonna shoot the guts out of that big bastard myself” The book shows Lennie is not very smart or aware. He knew that Curley and his people would kill Lennie, and he would suffer or be placed in jail. George made the decision of killing Lennie because it was a better choice for Lennie’s future.

After hearing this, he expresses his pity towards Lennie and his inability to listen. Early in the novella, George lashes out in anger towards Lennie, he says, “ ‘An whatta I got,’ George went on furiously. ‘I got you! You can 't keep a job and you

(pg. 22). Since Lennie is mentally challenged and can’t think fast enough, he relies on George to tell him what to do. Curley had turned on Lennie by punching him; and protect himself, Lennie had grabbed Curley’s hand and crushed with his own hand. Lennie felt bad for what he did so George

I believe that Lennie wants to leave George, because Lennie Said “caus I can jus’ as well go away, George an live an in a cave”. So it seems like Lennie wants to leave, because he thinks he is a hassle to George. In chapter one Lennie said that “I’d find things, George” Implying that he wants to prove to George that he can be on his own, and leave him alone. So I think that Lennie truly wants George to leave him alone, so that he won’t be an hassle anymore.

Lennie and George act as a foil to each other and now this
