Lennie and George's Bond

Lennie and George's bond

             Lennie and George have an interesting bond. I learned from section 1 that while Lennie is sometimes a liability, he also is a good companion. George fantasizes about life without Lennie, but he soon realizes the harsh consequences that could result from leaving Lennie. He states that many ranch workers throw their life away and have no family or friends, but he has Lennie. Lennie seems to appreciate George's company and even says that he will go away if George doesn't like him, but George refuses. I believe this pair will stick together throughout the story and their bond will continue to grow stronger through the challenges that ensue at their new ranch.
             Another thing I noticed about their relationship is that while Lennie forgets things often, George will almost always help him remember. This shows that George is kind to Lennie and appreciates him. Close to the end of section 1, Lennie is comforted by a story of what he and George will do in their upcoming life; they will live in a house with a couple of acres and have a garden and animals. Lennie likes this story because it is one of teh only things he can remember and may be his only hope.While Lennie may have a disability, he and George are a perfect pair.
