Comparing George And Lennie In John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

George and Lennie look out for one another when troublesome things come up. From the book it says. “Look, Lennie. you try to keep away from him, will you? Don’t ever speak to him. If he comes in here you move clear to the other side of the room. Will you do that, Lennie?” (29) George doesn’t want Lennie to mess with Curly while they’re on the ranch. George also tells Lennie that Curly’s wife is trouble and that he needs to stay away from her because it

George and Lennie have a very interesting relationship. George acts as a parent to Lennie all of the time. George exhibits many qualities as a parent such as protecting Lennie, instructing him, and loving him. Lennie is unable to make basic decisions in everyday life.

Lennie is a large slow and a bit childish due to his mental disability. George is small, rough, bright but short tempered man that travels and cares for lennie. On page 14 George was talking to Lennie about how guys like them are lonely, they have no family or place to go. Unlike themselves they have a future and theycare for eachother. Then lennie says happily “But not us! Ah’ why? Because.. Because I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you and that's why” this shows that George and lennie have each other's back and they're basically each other's family and if they ever got lost or separated, they had a specific spot to go find each other so they wouldn't have to worry where they would be.

George is small, quick-witted, and street-smart, while Lennie is large, physically strong, and mentally challenged. Steinbeck describes Lennie as, "a huge man, shapeless of face, with large, pale eyes, with wide, sloping shoulders. " His mental disability makes him reliant on George for guidance and protection. In contrast, George is independent and resourceful, often taking on the role of Lennie's

George takes care of Lennie many ways. George has taken care of Lennie for a long time. George took him under his wing even though he didn’t need to. George genuinely cares for Lennie. He feeds him, makes sure he is safe, also he gives him hope. George is constantly watching Lennie. George is a good friend to Lennie; however, George gets annoyed with Lennie very easily. He does this to make sure he doesn’t get into trouble or lost. He never leaves him by himself. This is shown when Lennie offers to leave, but George tells him “I want you to stay with me Lennie”(Steinbeck 104). George really cares for Lennie.

George goes from feeling that Lennie is a huge problem in his life to acting as a caring father or brother would. In Chapter One of the novel George hates taking care of Lennie even if he knows he is obligated to do so. This makes George treat Lennie worse than he really should do and it is unfair for Lennie. He constantly scolds Lennie and even says that he (Lennie) would be better off if he (George) did not care for him.

Even though George sometimes says how much better his life would be without Lennie, he will always protect Lennie. George is devoted to watching out for Lennie. He is always telling Lennie not to talk because that will probably lead to trouble. If Lennie gets in trouble that will block the both of them from living their dream. So George is inspired to keep Lennie out of trouble.

George obviously did not mean this because he continually repeats that even though Lennie is not the brightest and is unaware of his own strength he is a nice guy, takes orders, and produces great work. Another conflict the duo face is Curley, a vain and shallow young man who happens to be the ranch owner’s son. He constantly picks on the men but mostly Lennie because of his

“Of Mice and Men is a novella written by John Steinbeck. It takes place in the 1900s sometime around the Great Depression era. Two men, Lennie and George are looking for work as farm-hands. Lennie has some mental disabilities and is large/strong. George on the other hand, has a sharp mind, but he is not as strong as Lennie.

George and Lennie have a very strong and special bond that is formed throughout this book, it’s formed on the foundation of hard work and a dream to buy a little ranch and live off of what the earth produces, such as crops and plants. On that ranch they plan to have animals such as chickens, rabbits, cows, etc they especially want to have their own ranch because no one tell them what to do. They can live by their own terms, make their own money, and most importantly they can never get kicked off their own ranch. The most important factor of George and Lennie’s relationship is their unity. They always stay together, which is very rare because men in this book usually stay by themselves so they don’t have to share anything such as money and food.

Lennie and George are completely different people, who are perfect for each other. Lennie is the one who is forgetful, but passionate towards a lot of people like George and his Aunt Clara. George on the other hand is the complete opposite. He is very controlling to Lennie, but still wants to protect Lennie as much as he can. They are good for each other because they look out for each other.

Lennie and George have a very close but very tragic relationship. George has to take care of Lennie and watch over him as a parent might watch over a child. Lennie always seems to get in trouble and always

I could also notice when I was reading through the first chapter that George has a sense of authority over Lennie, “you gonna get that wood”. This is like a parent telling a child to do his chores. On some occasions though George shows a bit of hatred towards Lennie, he thinks of what he could have if Lennie wasn’t around and contrasts that with George.

Unfortunately, I have not had any HazMat incidents in my community but, I recall a HazMat incident out of my home town in which I responded as part of mutual aid request to assist a neighboring paramedic EMS agency on November 30, 2012. This incident is identified on the incident report data sheet which involved a rail accident carrying vinyl chloride (PMHSA, n.d.). During the response to the scene, I recall receiving updates notifying EMS agencies to stage away at an abandoned shopping center, due to a release of the chemical into the atmosphere. At the time the agent was not identified so the uncertainty of potential exposure, number of patients, decontamination and treatment along with the cause of the train derailment added some anxiety.

I chose to write my research paper about a certain type of gender discrimination in the workplace: Gender Inequality in Politics, specifically in the US. Women were given the right to vote in 1920, more then 130 years after our fathers signed the declaration of independence and men were given the right to vote. Even after 1920, women still faced barriers in a political setting, both in getting to the polls and running for office itself. Currently women hold less then 20% of congressional seats, despite making up 51% of the population. At this rate, some have projected that the United States won’t reach equality in government positions for
