' "what's so funny about it?" George demanded defensively'
Lennie needed someone to take care of him. George and Lennie had been friends for a long time and stuck together. George thought Lennie was a great worker but he just didn't have much of a brain.
George feels that because he and Lennie are family he has to protect him. Also he feel sympathy for Lennie whopossesses the mind of a child. One of the book's themes seems to be loneliness so you could argue that Lennie was also George's companion and they live of each other's strength. (I would give a quote but i can't find my book. The answer is somewhere in chapter 1).
Because of Lennie's simple mind, when Lennie's aunt passed away George promised to look after him and so when ever Lennie gets in trouble George has to help him get out of it. And also when they first come to work at the ranch the boss asks George who Lennie is to him he says hes his cousin. George mainly started looking after Lennie was when they were young George asked Lennie to jump into the river as a joke and he did. George didn't know he would and Lennie couldn't swim either so he had to go save him. from then on he never joked around like that with Lennie again. So not only they are companions but they pretty much family now.
Lennie and George's conversation after the men go in search of a fight revolved around Lennie's love for tending the rabbits on their dream farm. George reassured Lennie about their dream and calmed him down, emphasizing the importance of the life they planned to have together. Their conversation reflected their strong bond and their shared hope for a better future.
Lennie says he will go live in a cave if George gets fed up with him and does not want him around anymore.
The boss is suspicious of Lennie and George because migrating workers never travel together. And because during the whole dialogue George never allows Lennie to answer questions directed towards him.
He's afriad that they would lose their job if The Boss knew about Lennie. The Boss would think Lennie would be some useless person that he's paying for nothing. That is why George emphasizes on how strong he is, because Lennie is very strong. And would be helpful to work. George had said they were cousins because The Boss was thinking that George had been bringing Lennie around to jobs, secretly stealing Lennie's money; Tricking his older bosses. Though George would never do this; He needed Lennie and Lennie needed him.
because there new
No one did George killed Lennie before curly and his "pack" found him. if Curlyfound him first there would have been a high possibility of Lennie beingtormented.
Unlike the other guys on the ranch who have no one to look after them, Lennie and george have each other.
In "Of Mice and Men," the boss comes to view George as suspicious due to his relationship with Lennie. George handles Lennie's paycheck and he believes he may be exploiting him for personal gain. Furthermore, he doesn't allow Lennie to speak for himself.
