Of Mice And Men George And Lennie A Good Friend

Throughout the book we see an interesting bond between two very different men. George is similar to an older brother and has become responsible for Lennie. Because of his mental disorder Lennie is dependent on George and does whatever he says. They both had plans to spend their futures together. It was very difficult for George to kill Lennie, but he did it out of him love for him, which made it even harder. In that moment it is clear how much George really cares for Lennie. Though their friendship comes an appealing finish it is evident that both characters are extremely close to each other and would go to extreme lengths for one

In this story George was one of the main or major characters, and he does undergo many changes and also fills several roles, one of which is Lennie’s friend. As a character he wasn’t bad but also not spectacular, but when it came to Lennie’s friend he not only came through but above and beyond. He even made Lennie’s death bearable, by letting his last thought be friendly. he also stick with Lennie through thick and thin, as

Even though George sometimes says how much better his life would be without Lennie, he will always protect Lennie. George is devoted to watching out for Lennie. He is always telling Lennie not to talk because that will probably lead to trouble. If Lennie gets in trouble that will block the both of them from living their dream. So George is inspired to keep Lennie out of trouble.

To George and Lennie, having a friend with them is really lucky, but their luckiness didn 't last very long. At the end of the book, George shot Lennie at the back of his head. That was one of George’s two choices: let Curley kill Lennie or kill Lennie by himself. Like a father, George thought it’s his responsibility to kill Lennie to payback the life of

Strong friendships have the power to make people’s lives better. George and Lennie travel together and eventually live together, resulting in a strong bond between them. George cares for Lennie and he makes sure

Lennie would not get in trouble again or forget what he has to do. For

George takes care of Lennie many ways. George has taken care of Lennie for a long time. George took him under his wing even though he didn’t need to. George genuinely cares for Lennie. He feeds him, makes sure he is safe, also he gives him hope. George is constantly watching Lennie. George is a good friend to Lennie; however, George gets annoyed with Lennie very easily. He does this to make sure he doesn’t get into trouble or lost. He never leaves him by himself. This is shown when Lennie offers to leave, but George tells him “I want you to stay with me Lennie”(Steinbeck 104). George really cares for Lennie.

I could also notice when I was reading through the first chapter that George has a sense of authority over Lennie, “you gonna get that wood”. This is like a parent telling a child to do his chores. On some occasions though George shows a bit of hatred towards Lennie, he thinks of what he could have if Lennie wasn’t around and contrasts that with George.

One of the main reasons that we feel sympathy for Lennie is because he is intellectually disabled. He hasn’t the ability to learn or remember much, he cannot live independently, he needs to have someone to look after him and make sure he doesn’t step out of line or get in to trouble, this person happens to be George, we feel sympathy for him for having Lennie tied to him, Lennie also feels Sympathy for George and cannot bear to see George angry at him, George says to Lennie in the first chapter “god a’ mighty, if I was alone I could live so easily. I could get a job an’ work, an’ no trouble. No mess at al, an when the end of the month come I could take my fifty buck and go into town and get whatever I want” and Lennie says” George if you want I should go away and leave you alone “ which tells us that he also feels sorry for George.

George and Lennie were best friends. They were always together, and were always there for each other. Later in the book, we find out that they want to buy a farm together. George told Lennie he could help with the rabbits. As you see, they even had a future planned out. Some may say them being friends doesn’t matter, and it is better than a stranger killing

    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,

The true meaning of friendship can make a person think or do things for someone they never thought they would do. In the story, Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck shows many good qualities in men who have so little such as their dreams, caring for each other, and their sacrifices. George and Lennie’s relationship shows us the true meaning of friendship.

In conclusion, I believe that overall in the novella Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck ,George was not a good friend to Lennie. George did take care of Lennie but,in my point of view, not because he actually cared for Lennie.George never once mentions how he cares for Lennie or how much he loves his companionship but does mention how easy life would be without him and if if they were related he would kill himself .Yes George looked over him and stuck by him but in most cases Lennie would have been better of being with someone

What does relationship really mean? Relationship mean the way in which two or more concepts, objects, or people are connected, or the state of being connected. The meaning of a good relationship is presented In the Book Of Mice And Men by John Steinbeck. There are two characters named George and Lennie these characters both have a strong relationship with each other, George and Lennie are best friends and have been traveling with each other their entire life. Both George and Lennie have to rely on each other to get through anything in their way to keep their relationship strong. Yet this type of relationship could also be found in the Novel Romeo And Juliet. Romeo And Juliet is a novel about two teenagers that have a deep love for each

Lennie and George are polar opposites, and, throughout the whole novel, it seems very unlikely for the two of them to continue helping each other. Against all odds, however, the two main characters stick together throughout the whole ordeal; from becoming unemployed to Lennie killing Curley’s wife, the two longtime friends never leave each others side. As exemplified by this quote said by Lennie: “George wun’t go away and leave me. I know George wun’t do that.” it is clear that he values George’s friendship and he is confident in this that he does not believe that George would leave him. Lennie’s other half, George, also, very clearly, value their friendship and puts George’s well being above his; killing Lennie was probably the hardest decision George could’ve made, but he still did it in consideration of his friend. George didn’t want to see Lennie suffer at the hands of Curley (Curley would probably torture Lennie in some way), so he performs what can be considered as a “mercy kill”. The friendship the two companions share is a bond that cannot be broken, not even by
