  1. List some words that Steinbeck uses to describe Lennie. List some words that Steinbeck uses to describe George. How do these descriptions compare and/or contrast to one another?



After reading part 1 and getting to understand the characters better, I truly see the difference and at the same time, the same type of trait in both George and Lennie. George was described as small and quick, strong features, compared to Lennie who's was who was very big and walked heavily with a shapeless face. However both were wearing the same thing: shapeless hats, wearing black, and carried blanket rolls slung over there shoulders. As people might be able to see they are complete opposites, you have the tall bulky guy, with the short little "dinky" type of guy. In this so called "friendship" its obvious that Lennie is somewhat a dog obeying his master who is George. "Slowly like a terrier who doesn't want to bring a ball to its master."
