As stated in Of Mice and Men, Lennie Small is different from the other workmen. He is a tall man with enormous strength, yet he has a childlike personality and is not very good with soft things since he kills them just by touching it. What makes Lennie unique by standing out is that unlike any of the other workers, he sticks together with George in which they both support each other and are saving up their money for their dream. George cares about Lennie by helping him out in every situation just to make him happy and make him stand out in a positive way. By standing out, Lennie has a friend who cares so dearly about him. George shows his true friendship with Lennie by continuing to stand by him, even if he is a handful by having a disability.
