How Does George Want To Be Without Lennie

In Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, a tale set during the Great Depression. There is a man named George a small, lanky, quick witted man. He has a friend, Lennie a companion quite the opposite he is a large man with a childlike mind and always does the wrong thing. Despite their diffrences they seem to have made a friendship that requires George to give up some of the great things he could experience to help Lennie because he can’t take care of himself. George is constantly faced with the grim decision to either leave Lennie and life his life, or stay with him. Although, George can live his life, burden free without Lennie. He should stay with him for he would lose that person to talk to, Lennie would keep him on track in life, and he would never achieve his dream without him.

You might think George can keep a steady job and be free to do whatever he wants, but he needs Lennie. Lennie keeps George motivated to accomplish there dream and without Lennie, George would lack one to express the things he going through to. Lennie is slow minded so he is someone you can just talk to and they won't be judgmental of you and they will hear the words you say
If he were to leave Lennie he would do those things, and would fall victim to the things of the world. He would do foolish things, as he would not have to use that money for good things anymore. This is shown when Slim says to George “Come on, George. Me an’ you’ll go in an’ get a drink” (107). George replies by saying “Yeah, a drink” (107). These quotes show bad things to come like partying, and George finally doing the things he's always wanted to do. He go to the whore house and blow all his money, because he does not have to take care of Lennie. When Lennie was with George he kept him in line and they would always save up money to get land. But without Lennie, George is wasting his money and he no longer had anything to live
