I feel that this book does a good job of portraying the fact that there are bullies in this world and that they aren’t always the bigger people. Words can cut deeper then actions, and that in its self made George a bully. Even though George looked after Lennie, he was still very cruel to him. George felt burdened by having to take care of Lennie. Now does this excuse his behavior towards Lennie, no. George would always tell Lennie, that he would of done much better without him and that just broke down Lennie inside. But other then that he tried to use his best judgments on trying to take care of him. He knew that Lennie had no one else, that would take care of him.

Now Lennie is an interesting case all in himself. He needs special help and there is no one who cares for him enough to actually take him in and help him. Lennie finds himself trapped in two different worlds. In one world he has to act like he is a deaf mute and doesn’t speak at all. Which of course he finds unbearable. On the other hand he finds himself to be free when he is with George and they are by themselves. He doesn’t understand why people treat him any different from everyone else of course Except that is of course George who actually hates his job of having to take care of him. Now Lennie had an obsession with soft things and that’s what got him in trouble. If he hadn’t wanted to touch her soft hair then nothing would have happened. Now if Lennie were to be growing up in a society like this, then it would be so much different. Because, people wouldn’t tolerate it. Or we might think that they wouldn’t tolerate it, but for all we know things like this

So it was a type of hate, love, friendship, and it depends on which angle you look at things, From who’s prospective. Now once you have an idea of who’s side you’re going to be on. You have to look and see if George does things that are in Lennie’s best interest. George was left with the responsibility to take care of Lennie.

George tried to help Lennie feel like a normal person by letting him have the puppy. But when the dog got killed he didn’t know what to do so he kept the dog hidden. That is when Curly’s wife found Lennie crying and tried to comfort him. That is when he started to pet her hair and he accidentally broke her neck. So George found Lennie and found Curly’s wife and he knew exactly what he needed to do to take Lennie into hiding. Everyone in the camp was looking for Lennie because they all knew he was the one who had killed her. That is when George felt that he really needed to take responsibility of Lennie. So he used his best judgment and knew that he could either kill Lennie or he would go to prison. I feel in my opinion that what George did for Lennie was the very responsible. He truly was a good friend to him for doing that for him. Things would have been much worse off if he hadn’t.

Lennie and George: In what ways are they 'mates'? Is this a true friendship, as you understand friendship? George and Lennie are in every instance 'mates'.
