George was the one who watched over lennie so he felt that it was his decision on whether he should kill him or not. It’s easy to tell that George is Lennie’s care taker because George and Lennie travel together and George makes sure they stick together and that they are both safe. Another reason that you could tell the George takes care of lennie is because George promised Lennie Aunt Clara that he would watch over lennie. And lastly Lennie listens to everything that George tells him to do “Jus tell Lennie what to do…
Just because Lennie didn’t know what he was doing, he still did something bad that led them to have to skip town. Another reason is Lennie would’ve been tortured anyway. Curley said he was going to hunt him down because he killed Curley’s wife. “He looked down at her, and carefully he removed his hand from over her mouth” (Steinbeck 23). He killed Curley’s wife and George knew that Curley wasn’t going to handle it very well and knew he was going to torture him or something.…
After Lennie killed Curley's wife, the other guys had their mind set on killing Lennie for what he had done, but George decided he should do it himself so it wouldn't hurt him as bad as knowing that he let other people do barely know Lennie, do it. Even though George knew he was better off without Lennie in his life he's even told Lennie “I could be living so good without you getting me in trouble and outta a job” (Steinbeck). Honestly George knows he’d be better off in his life without Lennie,but he doesn't want to leave Lennie because he knows he would be alone and put in place for the mentally impaired people. Although, George wants to keep one job and possible get a wife and have some children, but he can't do that because of Lennie and his way of not being able to keep a job.…

In the book, George and everybody else treated Lennie differently only because of his mental difficulties. When you are reading the middle of the book it is clear the George did not plan on taking care of Lennie and having Lennie travel with him. On page 40, George tells Slim “Used to play jokes on him because he was too dumb to care for himself.” Also, George said “Good boy.…

In life, popular items become common symbols to people. For example, roses represent love. The novel “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck uses symbols to tell the story of George and Lennie. George and Lennie are migrant workers who are looking for work on a ranch in Salinas, California. On the ranch George and Lennie must work in order to obtain the farm of their dream, but an obstacle stops them.…
Lennie’s Aunt Clara died when Lennie was young, so George took him in, taught him things, and made sure he was okay. When George realizes he hurts everything he touches, and is always getting in trouble so George came with a plan for if Lennie got in trouble again, “‘Well look. Lennie- if you jus’ happen to get in trouble like you always done before, I want you to come right here an’ hide in the brush’” (Steinbeck 15). George is always looking out for Lennie, making sure he’s okay and healthy.…
In the novella, Of Mice and Men I believe that George was a good friend to Lennie. Friendship is when you are by someone's side, through thick and thin. George and Lennie were good examples of friendship because they were always by each others side, even though they may not have gotten along at times. Unfortunately, Lennie isn't so bright, so George has taken on the role of not only being his companion but his caretaker as well. In the novella George and Lennie have gotten into trouble a number of times, but this one time may or may not have depicted whether he was a good friend or not.…
Lennie is like a little kid, he needs someone to guide him, so he is always looking up to George. Which is the reason why George is always controlling and bossing him around. Lennie is handicapped so he can not be left alone or do things by himself, giving George an advantage to make him do whatever he wants. George and Lennie do everything together, but George is the one who always makes the decisions. So Lennie has no choice but to follow him because without George, Lennie would be getting himself into a lot of trouble and would probably get himself killed.…
I think that there was no time to go hide and escape so Lennie could have suffered. Have you ever seen those commercials about how owners and dog pounds have to put down animals? Imagine it like this Lennie is an animal, he’s getting sick and ill and too old there wasn’t a reason to let him suffer. What if George did tell him to leave, go find a cave and disappear? How would you feel if your best friend you’d known for several years said that to you and didn’t want anything to do with you?…
