Of Mice And Men How Do Friends Treat Each Other

Really think about this, how do friends really treat each other? Do they ask their friends to come and tag along with them; or do they just say “ Hey I am going somewhere I will be back later?” In the novella Of Mice and Men, written by John Steinbeck, George and Lennie are supposed to be best friends, but they're not. In the beginning of the book the boss asks George if he was taking Lennie's paycheck, he says no, but Lennie can not take care of himself let alone him patcheak. In the middle of the book George tells Slim that he picks on Lennie a lot by playing jokes on him that he does not understand. No true friend would leave their friend hanging, yell at them, or make them fear the very thought of them.
First of all, George never ask Lennie he wants to come along or invites him to come with. In between the beginning and the middle of the book, George sits down at the small table and begins to play Solitaire. In this moment in the book this game shows the George feels like that he is alone not physically but, something a bit more beyond that. George does not ask Lennie if he wants to play a card game, so he just sits down and does not even bother to think about Lennie. All throw out
When Lennie killed the puppy he was scared that George was not going to let Lennie tend the rabbits and he kept on thinking that George was going to give him hell. Also when Lennie accidentally broke Curley's wife’s neck, “I don’t want you to yell. You gonna get me in trouble jus’ like George says you will. Now don't you do that” (Steinbeck 91). After Lennie broke her neck all Lennie did is take the puppy so he could hide its body “I’ll throw him away” ”It’s bad enough like it is” (Steinbeck 92) Lennie throw the puppy away so this way he only did one bad thing ( kill Curley's wife) and he hoped that, that's the only thing that he will get hell
