Courage- George needed a lot of courage to shoot his best friend. He needed to be confident in his decision to kill Lennie himself before Curly got to him first.

Apprehensive- George is apprehensive to leave Lennie by himself-or with other people. He doesn't want history to repeat itself after the death of Lennie's puppy, and Curly's wife's' neck being broken.

Console- Curly's wife tries to console Lennie after she discovers he killed his own puppy. She has empathy for Lennie and confesses she is lonely.

Disengage- Lennie lacks mental stability and social skills. He seems to always try to disengage himself from everyone else. He is very distant at times.

Intention- It is not Lennie's intention to hurt, let alone kill, people and animals. He is doesn't realize how strong he is and what he is capable of. He just wants to pet/stroke soft things.

Desire- Lennie and Curly's wife had a connection from the start. Curly's wife is very flirtatious towards Lennie and the two seem to have a desire for each other.

Unaware- Everyone that knows Lennie is very unaware that he has a mental disability. They think he is just "different" and some won't take him seriously.

Intimidate- After Lennie, George, and Candy conduct a plan to buy a farm, Curly attacks Lennie. After the incident, Lennie seems to be very intimated by Lennie.

Rigid- Lennie is very rigid. He seems to always second guess himself out of fear.

Compassion- George has a lot of compassion for Lennie. He cares about him so much and wanted him to have a painless and fast death instead of being murdered by Curly.

The book stats of with them on their way to a job interview at a ranch. when traveling to the ranch you first read about lennie's fondness to touching soft things when george notices that Lennie has something in his pocket he askes him what it is and Lennie shows him that it had been a dead mouse.At thins point George is statring to think they may not get the job as lennie has gotten them fired from other jobs as well one time Lennie saw a girl’s pretty dress and thought it would feel soft so started feeling it Not only did they get fired from their job at the time buy also ran out of the town.Though when they got to the job location they where both very happy because they both where given jobs on the ranch.Every body working on the rance welcomed them with open arms, everbody but one. that one person was Curley and he was the boss' son and immedietly judged him on his size and would let to start fights with him.One time when Curley tried to punch Lennie tried to stop the punch but meaning to crushes his hand.He does not know his his own strength and does not understand how easily he can hurt the the tiny amimals he likes so much to pet,and this flaw can get him into alot of trouble.

Of Mice and Men is a great story of two friends and of how disabilitied people are treated.It has a great life lesson that every body should learn.it is a very short story but it is a great read and would be reccomended to every body because it really elaborates how people can judge those with disabilities so quickly.It has a very sad ending and can possibly leave you in tears showing you a new point of view for mentally challenged people.With the facts John Steinbeck did get his viewpont on how society treats the mentally challenged and with that the book truly is a great read and is highly reccomended.
