The evening sun was disappearing from the valley. A cool breeze rushed through the leaves of the trees as birds danced to the sound of silence. The calm, bright blue Salinas River swayed back and forth, bumping into the grayish rocks. Grass sprouted as they were being fed. The barn was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. No more yelling, no more galloping horses, just the sound of lungs inhaling and exhaling. George was throwing everything together quickly, like a cheetah catching its prey. The clock was moving quicker by the second. He ran faster, as if his life depended on the search for the large, simple minded man.
“Lennie! Lennie, where are you?”, George shouted. If George could not find Lennie, his heart would have combusted.

I'm here, George!”, Lennie whispered fiercely.
“We don't have time Lennie, we need to go,” George said as he pulled Lennie up from the bush.
“George, I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt Curley’s wife,” he cried loudly.
“It’s okay, don't worry. Now let's hurry,” George said in a rush.
George ran with Lennie by his side. Stopping wasn't an option for either of them. Lennie and George were still running for their lives. They needed to escape far away before Curley and the others could find them. Glistening sweat was running down their foreheads as the sun blazed on their bodies. Their legs started to become sore, begging for them to rest. So, they decided to take a quick break.
“George, why are we running?”, Lennie questioned as his eyebrows raised.
“Curley wants to shoot you Lennie,” George answered out of breath.
“Oh, I didn't mean it. I ain't tending the rabbits no more,” Lennie said as his eyes saddened.
George patted Lennie’s back with empathy and replied, “Yes, you will tend those rabbits, I'll make sure of it.” He started getting up while dusting his pants off as Lennie followed behind like if he was a lost
Confirmation: George is guilty of Lennie’s death for many reasons, but primarily he’s at fault for not running away with Lennie. It seems plausible that that is the thing Lennie and George would do since that is what they do when they

As George becomes aware of the situation he begins to ponder what will happen if Lennie gets away. George understands that Lennie would not be capable of providing for himself out in the wild. As George contemplates allowing Lennie to be free of all the men, he “[is] a long time in answering” (94). George is one of the few men who understands Lennie’s mental limitations, he knows Lennie would not remember how to survive and “the poor bastard’d starve” (94). He

George wanted to be alone, away from Lennie because he could earn a lot more money without worrying about Lennie. George wants Lennie gone so he could live life without getting into so much trouble like Lennie does. When Lennie gets into trouble then they both get into trouble. George needed Lennie gone in general weather he had to kill him or
There was a heavy rain outside, but other than that, the room was silent. George stared at the bunk where Lennie slept, unable to sleep. He was filled with hatred of the world that forced him to kill his own friend. As the night dragged on his hatred shifted to Curley’s wife, then Curley. “If Curley hadn’t let his tramp wife go around and cause trouble Lennie would still be here” George thought. Just then, Lennie appeared in front of him with a look of deep sadness and pain. Seeing Lennie’s pain and suffering, sent him over the edge. “That god damn Curley!” George thought, grabbing Carlson’s gun while he slept. “This is all his fault!” he thought, consumed by rage. He shuffled over to where Curley slept and pulled out the gun. George aimed the gun at Curley and pulled the trigger. An instant later he is horrified by what he has done. A couple seconds pass and Slim comes into the
She spoke in Lennie’s voice. “I tol’ you an’ tol’ you,” she said. “I tol’ you, ‘Min’ George because he’s such a nice fella an’ good to you.’ But you don’t never take no care. You do bad things. George ain’t gonna want you aroun’ no more.”
Since the begging George and Lennie have stayed together, but as they work there are times when they are separated. George docent
The emotional symbiosis between George and Lennie helps each man. Lennie’s attachment to George is most strongly visible when Crooks suggests George is not coming back. Lennie is almost moved to hysterics and his fear does not quickly abate. George prefers to feign dislike for Lennie to Lennie’s face: “I could get along so easy and so nice if I didn’t have you on my tail” (7). When pressed, George reveals his true feelings for Lennie. “I want you to stay with me Lennie” (13). They stay together because “It’s a lot easier to go around with a guy you know” (35). Both men need and value their strong emotional relationship.
Ever since Lennie’s Aunt Clara died, George had to look after him because Lennie cannot look after himself (Steinbeck). Lennie accidentally scared a girl and he and George had to leave Weed, and they had to go get new jobs (Attell). George gets angry at Lennie for accidentally getting them in trouble and says he should leave and how easier his life would be without Lennie (Hart). He then tells Lennie that he did not mean what he said and would not leave him (Hart).
“I want you to stay with me, Lennie. Jesus Christ, somebody’d shoot you for a coyote if you was by yourself. No, you stay with me. Your Aunt Clara wouldn’t like you running off by yourself, even if she was dead.” (page 13). After Lennie and George fight over the dead mouse, Lennie tells him that George would be better off if Lennie went to the mountains to live in a cave. George doesn’t let him. He tells him that he wants him to stay because not only did George somewhat promise Lennie’s dead Aunt Clara that he would take care of him, but he also learned how to live and adjust with the fact that Lennie has kind of a childish mind.
Though George is a social and a smart migrant worker, he is still a very lonely guy who only has Lennie to rely on. George says, ”If i was alone, I could live so easy.” (p11) He says he would get along so well without him because he wouldn’t have to keep Lennie out of trouble all the time and he could keep a job. He also says, “Lennie, I want you to stay with me.” (p13) That states that
There were multiple changes in George’s character, some blindingly obvious and some that were fairly subtle. All these changes had the same root – George’s choice to abandon his dream with Lennie and shoot his friend.
George and Lennie always watch each other’s back and care for one another. During the story, Of Mice and Men, George was always telling Lennie “if you get into trouble, go hide
The first thing that shows that George is wrong is that Lennie has a mental illness. Lennie’s mental illness prevents him from always having full control of Situations that he’s in. We learn this through what George says “ ‘Well, he’s seen this girl in a red
