Friendship In John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

Friendship can be very strong,so you do not want to break it. In the novel Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck’s theme is friendship. In the novel, Of Mice and Men Lennie and George Travel, and try to find a job to keep(and not get fired from).They try to save up money so one day they can fulfill their dream and own their own land. Because Lennie got in trouble, their friendship was not strong enough. Throughout the novel, Steinbeck Tells why friendships are so important and need to be kept. The relationship between George and Lennie can best be described as son and father. Lennie is always following George around like a child following his dad. For example, when they arrive at the pond, Lennie imitates the way George is sitting and even “pulls his hat down . . . over his eyes” (4) just the same as George. It seems like Lennie looking up to George as a fatherly figure. Lennie wants to be like George. He thinks George is a good role model, just like a son thinks about

He was justified because he did not let anyone else hurt Lennie. He got to let Lennie go they way he wanted to let him go. He got to tell Lennie what he wanted to, to make him happy. He did it so Lennie wouldn’t think about it he would think of happy things, so when George shot him he would die happy. George really took in Candy’s words and listened when he said he should have killed his dog. He agreed so instead of letting Lennie get killed by Curley he was happy that he got to kill him. So he knew Lennie did not die being tortured,or hung, or in Curley’s hands. I think George was also justified because he knew Lennie was happy and not miserable, being beat or tortured. He knew it was a quick easy death, how anyone would like to die. George is not happy that he had to kill Lennie, but he is happy that he was the one to kill Lennie. It was a relief that Curley did not find Lennie first, and George already knew where Lennie was
