George and Lennie Flashcards
P1 - They have a unique, dependent relationship
“God a’mighty, if I was alone I could live so easy, I could go get a job an’ work, an’ no trouble”
“like us[,] are the loneliest guys in the world”
“with us it ain’t like that. We got a future”- and “I got you… and you got me.”
P2 - George and lennie are very contrasting in character
“They had walked in single file down the path, and even in the open one stayed behind the other”
“small and quick, dark of face with restless eyes and sharp, strong feature”
“A huge man… he walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws”, and he was “strong as a bull”.
“lennie who had been watching, imitated george exactly”
P3 - George and Lennie’s dream
“live off the fatta the lan”
“repeated rhythmically”
“slashed Lennie with his left, and then smashed down his nose with a right”
