Lennie is childish. For example, when he gets told things or do things he tends to forget about what he was told, or what he did. He also loves to pet animals or soft things, but usually ends up killing them, like when he got a dead mouse. (Pg 12). Lennie wanted to pet a dead mouse along the walk but George (His best pal) ends up catching him with the mouse, George asks Lennie why he wanted a dead mouse and Lennie replies with “I could pet it with my thumb while we walked along.” He really wants to tend the rabbits and that is all he usually has on his mind “ I wish we’d get the rabbits pretty soon, George they ain’t so little.” This shows he is childish because most adults don’t think about animals all the time, they think more responsibility.
