This grants more insight into George’s ordinary world, with the pair working in towns, only to have to flee due to Lennie’s actions. Despite these difficulties, George and Lennie share what other migrant workers can only dream of, a bond deeper than friendship. Lennie is ecstatic when he and George describe this bond: “But not us! An’ why? Because… because I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that’s why”(14). Although it was already shown that George cares for Lennie, the opposing aspect was not introduced; in the same way George cares for Lennie, Lennie cares for George. In a seemingly illogical reasoning, one can liken this to the love and care children give unto their parents, reminding them of the important values in life, in love and compassion. Consequently, their call to adventure in working on the ranch presents them with challenges, but gives an opportunity for the pair to gain their “stake”, a plot of land to live
