Compare And Contrast George Milton And Lennie Small

Because of his mental disability he does things that further put him out of the “normal” group of ranch hands. Lennie has a good friend in George but he is portrayed as being lonley in the book anyway. He just wants to be like every one else on the ranch.

In addition, Lennie's childlike manner is portrayed in his dependency on George. He listens to everything George tells him and depends on him for necessities such as food and water. In fact, it seems that without George Lennie would be unable to survive.

George and Lennie are different as they have each other for support, friendship and much more. Lennie is able to give George hope, hope that things will get better by continually talking about the dream of ‘livin’ of the fatta the land’. This in turn brightens George’s spirits and motivates him to keep on working hard and believing that ‘we got a future’. Even though Lennie helps George in many physiological ways, he also helps him physically. Lennie’s pure size and strength is so great that he is often compared to a ‘bear’ by Steinbeck; an animal which has immense power. This strength helps them gain work as ‘man, (Lennie) can work’. Without Lennie, George would have much difficulty finding manual labour jobs due to his small size.

    George took Lennie in after Lennie’s aunt died. George knew his aunt pretty well. Lennie had nowhere to go afterwards, so George let Lennie come along with him. George wasn’t always nice to Lennie in the beginning. George would tease him and trick him. Lennie didn’t know any better than to listen to George, even if it was a taunt. After an incident happened to Lennie, George stopped tormenting him. He felt bad for Lennie and how he treated him. From this moment on, George actually took into consideration of Lennie’s mindset. In the book, Steinbeck writes,

Lennie's disability is one of the main reasons he struggles in life, but Georges companionship keeps him sound. George gets frustrated often, but tends to give Lennie slack when he makes

Imagine living in a time where racism and poor undeveloped towns are still around and there are a lot of obstacles and events that take place. This was the time during the 1930's when two protagonists named George Milton and Lennie Small, who had planned to work in a ranch in a a town called Weed. In this ranch, both characters face different types of problems within the new workers that they're going to live with. Lennie Small is a character set to mentally special and is always in trouble and has George, his best friend, is always getting him out of it. In the book, we will see how. Lennie is the most sympathetic character due to his mental disability, having a mind of a child in a man's body, and how unintentionally he kills whatever pets he gets.

A: Although George can talk about everything he could have without Lennie, he knows that they will always be there for each other. There is no good in leaving Lennie because being without him would be lack of dreams and those are what inspires him to work hard everyday. Lennie is what helps to keep George’s dreams alive. At a glance George can come off as an all round tough guy but as soon as he gets talking about the farm, it is evident that George has no problem creating the farm in his mind. The explanation of the farm shows how much passion he has towards this goal.

Lennie’s mental disability makes him and George much different. George cares for him almost like he is a child and George has no other adult mentality to talk to. “‘I ain't got no people,’” George said. ‘“I seen the guys that go around on the ranches alone.

The opening sequence of events, which introduces us to George and Lennie indeed gives the impression that the larger Lennie, suffers from some form mental disability. He is the exact antithesis is the character of George, a small man, with sharp features, who seems to be close friend and confidant to Lennie. In addition to this, George also seems to be greatly concerned with Lennie's safety and well-being. Furthermore, it seemed to me that the two have had a long-time close companionship, or, that George owes Lennie some type of allegiance, as George seems to have suffered at the expense of Lennie as is evident from the previous job.

However, why George keeps Lennie around is because he doesn't want to be lonely and live his life like all the other migrant farmers which go to cat houses and spend there earned money on useless money, a quote showing this is," they come to a

Lennie is George’s companion throughout the story, travelling with George wherever he goes. He is mentally impaired, as he has not matured past the mindset

Lennie didn’t care what others thought of him and always wanted to stay out of trouble. His characteristics were: strong, loved to pet soft things, mentally ill, not smart, careless, and fearful.

George is a worker who travels farm to farm looking for a job with his friend who is mentally disabled man, Lennie. They live during the Great Depression. The two men dream of buying a small farm by saving all the money they possibly can. Even though George is the smallest and skinniest of them both he has more of dominant character over Lennie because of Lennie’s disability. George treats Lennie like his parent because of the difficult situation Lennie tends to involve George into. George must alway arise to responsibly and deal with any possible problems Lennie can cause in him.

The nature of their relationship was not like any other. Lennie obviously had a mental problem and was slow with processing orders or remembering stuff. George would get aggravated at Lennie, but never gave up on him, or left him. For example, George would always tell Lennie to go the hide in the woods or never to talk to someone, but Lennie would always forget. George knew
