Five Traits Of Friendship In Of Mice And Men By John Steinbeck

The five traits of friendship are what make lifelong friends. The five traits are allegiance, empathy, redemption, shared ethics, and conscience. Allegiance is a trait that helps hold my friendship with my nana together. It’s being loyal to friends and family, and willing to sacrifice everything. I was sick and no one could stay home with me because of work. My nana being such a loyal friend stayed with me all day. Shared ethics also plays a big part in our friendship. In the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck George and Slims friendship best resembles my friendship with my nana. In the book George and Slim are loyal to each other. George gets himself into a big situation where he has to leave Weed with Lennie. George and Lennie find a
job at this ranch bucking barley where he meets Slim. George knows that Slim has his back and he could trust him. George told him that they had to leave because Lennie felt this girls soft velvety dress and held on, the girl was yelling rape. George knew that Slim wouldn't try to hurt Lennie. Having similar morals and a similar belief system is what shared ethics is. Having similar ethics means you agree on similar topics or situations. One situation was when we went to the fairground to the skowhegan state fair. We were standing behind these two friends, and one of the girls didn't have enough money to get in. My nana and I decided to help her out and payed for the rest of her ticket. George and Slim also relate to my friendship with my nana with having shared ethics. George and Slim have similar ethics in the book Lennie may be portrayed as a murder by most eyes, but George and Slim think that he wasn't trying to hurt nobody. They feel that Lennie just likes soft things and when he feels something soft Lennie can't let go of it.
