Lennie has immense strength but limited mental abilities. So together they work perfectly. The two of them struggle to survive, but with each other they by there side they can’t lose. The needs of each character by the other are Lennies strength, Georges knowledge, and each others will to be there for one another.

what topic did you pick?

I picked number 2. I chose this because it shows hows Lenny and George develop as characters and it is evident in the reading how they are against each other. However, they need each other in order to survive because "Lenny needs George and George needs Lenny". George said that he would look after Lenny and it's evident that he is going to keep his promise. Even though they fight a lot they have to stick together in order to survive and the economy has a lot to do with why they're staying with each other even though they fight a lot. They know that they need to ignore the fighting and stay together and survive the harsh times.

are George and Lennie best friends?

I think they are best friends. First George is always their when Lennie needs him, he's always by his side in a time of need. Also they have faith and believe in each others dreams. Lastly when Lennie was going to get killed George did it before they could. So In my opinion they are best friends.

how did you like the end of Of Mice and Men?

I think that the ending was very interesting because it was such a twist. I didn't see it coming. When Lennie ran away because he killed Curley's wife, he actually remembered where George told him to go. Then when Curley broke into the house and said what happened, George knew what he needed to do. He went to the spot and told Lennie the story about how they were going to buy a house and live there and prosper. then he shot him in the back of the head. It was very emotional because he didn't know how to react to it. So I liked the twist but it was sad.

How are you a great friend?

I'm a great friend because no matter what happens I will always be their for my friend. Through thick and thin I will always have there back! Also When they're sad i cheer them up, and try to make them laugh or smile. Thats why I'm a good friend.

Do you think Lennie is a burden on George?

I think George has to be more careful with Lennie, kinda of take care of him cause of his needs. I wouldn't call him a burden on him. Lennie has special needs so it might feel like that on Geoge but for the most part hes not.
