How Does George Feel About Lennie
“I never get no peace with you” said George. George is like Lennie’s mom he takes care of him and make sure that he doesn’t do something bad or stupid. For example, when they are going to meet there new boss George keeps asking Lennie what he is going to do when they meet the boss, so that they get the job. George feels worried, unconfident, and frustrated in Lennie because Lennie is violent, acts like a child, and can’t remember.
To begin with, George feels worried because Lennie is quite violent and with the strength he has, he could easily hurt someone and both of them would be in big trouble.

She yells and we got to hide in a irrigation ditch…” (pg.11) Because of Lennie they had to run away from Weed, California and go south to find their new job.
