relationship is close and brotherly. They fight, but look after each other and that is what is important in these types of relationships. This type of relationship they have, allows both George and Lennie to help each other and learn from each others mistakes and fix them. "An' why? Because...because I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that's why". This quote helps to prove that they're relationship is in fact a brotherly relationship and that they will stick together and help each other no matter what happens to them. "'Ain't many guys travel around together,' he mused. 'I don't know why. Maybe ever'body in the whole damn world is scared of each other.'” This evidence from the book backs up the claim about how close they are that they seem like brothers to other people. This also shows that it is out of the ordinary to other people and it is different from they are used to. “‘With us it ain't like that. We got a future. We got somebody to talk to that gives a damn about us."

No matter what they say or do they will stay friends because they know they need each other.

They will also be on each others side no matter if they are right or wrong.It is like this in real life as well because if you have someone you can trust and count on, you will be able to go far in life. “No-look! I was jus’ foolin’, Lennie ‘cause I want you to stay with me”. This quote suggests that when friends with this close of a bond say things that are mean to each other, they will get over it and it will be fine. “‘You said is was you're cousin, George’. ‘ Well that was a lie. An’ I’m damn glad it was. If I was a relative of yours I’d shoot myself”. This piece of evidence helps to support the idea that these types of relationships will not always be perfect and there will be bumps along they way. “Get him, Lennie. Don’t let him do it to ya’” This quote helps to explain that even though sometimes in a relationship you may be mad at you're friend sometimes but you will always want them to succeed if they are having a bad time because that is what friends are

for.
Their relationship is very important to them and they need that special bond with each other to stay so that they can continue to help each other and have someone that is there for them through bad times. “I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that's why.” This excerpt from the text is an example of why they need each other and why it is so important to have close friends.“Yeah,” said George. “I’ll come. But listen, Curley. The poor bastard’s nuts. Don’t shoot ‘im. He di’n’t know what he was doin’.”This quote is an example of why you need friends to look after you and get you out of trouble from other people. If you always have someone looking after you and you look after them it helps to form a stronger bond between you and another person. “Well, I never seen one guy take so much trouble for another guy. I just like to know what your interest is.” If you are willing to go through something that is troublesome for you, just to help out someone else then this also helps to grow that tight bond between you and someone else. This special friendship will last for many years if it is true and strong enough.
