The reason I say this is because they love each other like brothers. They both look after and help each other which is what brothers do. You also might be thinking that brothers also fight and get mad at each other. Well, Lennie might not get mad at George, but George gets mad at Lennie. The reason he does is because he always has to tell Lennie not to do stuff and when Lennie doesn't listen he gets in trouble. When Lennie does this George gets mad and starts yelling at Lennie. Even though George does this he still loves Lennie, like every brother secretly does. This is how their relationship is also like a family.

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.

This coincides with my life which in some instances mirrors Oprah’s life in early childhood. My mom married at the age of 14 and had her first child at 15 years of age.
Mitigation of the climate change problem will require a transformation of world energy supply, in which fossil fuels are largely replaced by energy sources that do not emit CO [1]. Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that delivers nuclear energy to produce heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to generate electricity in a nuclear power plant. As nuclear power produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions during production of electricity as compared to other traditional sources like coal power plant, it is considered one of the most environmentally friendly sources of energy [3]. However, it is confronting with many challenges [2].
