Of Mice and Men Reading Response MaxF

          George and Lennie, two adventurers trying to make a life living, are traveling around the US. They have a goal set in mind to make their living after getting money to purchase a plot of land. The story begins near a creek in which George and Lennie are resting. They are tired and set up camp for the night. Lennie keeps asking George about what there little plot of land is going to be like, and Lennie keeps his hopes up, and i think it is what solely keeps him determined to go on. Lennie isn't too bright, so he asks George the same questions over and over. While George gets annoyed at this, personally he likes having Lennie around and likes his company.
           George and Lennie have bonded a lot over their travels across the nation. Even when Lennie messes things up, they do things together. For example, one day when Lennie was in a town, he wanted to touch a girls dress, and when he tried to, the girl screamed "Rape!" and George and Lennie had to hide that day. They later left, and fled the village. I think this shows Georges liking to Lennie, because if he didn't like Lennie, he would have abandoned him a long time ago. George one day, while talking to one of his co-workers says, "No Lennie. I ain't mad. I never been mad, and I ain't now. That's a thing I wanted you to know." Even though George yelled and hit him some, he never abandoned Lennie, who in turn never abandoned George, always forgave him if he did something bad to him. One time George almost drowned Lennie, and Lennie apologized to George. Even though Lennie is huge, and an excellent physical worker, George is small and quick, Lennie never hit back. George, in a way is loyal to Lennie, because no matter how many times George said to remember it, he kept explaining to him about their future farm. George and Lennie are in a way the best of friends, and it may not seem like it, but they need each other for there to be good in their life.
         George never let Lennie out from under his protective wing. He was always there for Lennie and tried to protect him the best he could from getting hurt or killed. Lennie, who is the opposite of George, but like a magnet, opposites attract and they became friends. Of Mice And Men is an amazing book, while it may be short, it is very interesting and gripping. This book has that you could ever want out of a book.
