Textual Evidence:
With us it aint like that. We got a future. We
got somebody to talk to that gives a damn
about us. We dont have to sit in no bar
room blowin in our jack jus because we got
no place else to go. If them other guys gets
in jail, they can rot for all anybody gives a
damn. But not us (Steinbeck 14).
Commentary:
Most migrant workers during the Great
Depression travel alone and only look out for
themselves. George and Lennie, however,
have a friendship; they take care of each
other. George takes care of Lennie because
he is not capable of caring for himself, but
Lennie takes care of George, too. Lennie
provides George with companionship, and
even though Lennie drives George crazy
sometimes, George truly does love him.
