Steinbeck wrote a great book about friendship called Of Mice and Men. This book is about George and Lennie, two best friends that go to work on a farm. They try to make money to start their own farm. The problem is Lennie has a developmental disorder that makes it hard for him to talk to people and he was often misunderstood. Lennie was portrayed as gentle, strong and not intelligent and would apologize for his mistakes. I this book Steinbeck made Lennie a sympathetic character that you would feel sorry for.
Lennie was gentle because he never would try to hurt a fly. He was a child trapped inside of a man's body. Slim said Lenny would never hurt anyone. Also Lennie would pet animals because of their smooth, soft fur. The author described …show more content…
In the book Lennie starts drinking from the water and George has to tell him that it might not be clean water. But then Lennie keeps drinking water. I'm page 5 “ his hands went quickly and do his side coat Pockets he said gently George I ain't got mine I must have lost it he looked down at the ground and despair you never had none you crazy bastard I got both of them right here think I'd let you carry your own work card”
This trait affects the story because it controls what Lennie does and if he knows what is okay and not okay to do.This hurts him when he is talking with others because he does not understand social cues. Also this hurts him personally because people might misunderstand him and then get mad at him, which would get him into trouble.
The character does not change throughout the course of the chapters.
He remains the same throughout the book. He does not learn from his mistakes. For example, he killed the mice, dog, and even Curly’s wife by not knowing his own strength. This traite huts him and gets in into trouble because he touched a girls dress because it was soft he was kicked of of the farm.
I learned that being your best friend might not appear to others that your best friends because of the way you act with them. I also learned that your friends always have your best
