The Great Depression had a major impact on the people who suffered through it. John Steinbeck portrays this is in the book, Of Mice and Men. This story is centered around two migrant farm workers named George Milton and Lennie Small. Lennie is a large and mentally disabled man. He enjoys touching soft things and is innocent and pure, but doesn’t know how damaging his strength can be.
George, a quick witted caretaker of his disabled friend Lennie was a worker during the great depression. Lennie, a big built man with some sort of mental abnormality who worked during the Great depression as well. During this time and age every man was fulfilled with loneliness but somehow these two men stuck together like glue.

He carried Lennie's fate in his hands.

For example, when Lennie is questioned by their boss on what work he can do at the ranch “In a panic Lennie [looks] at George for help”(22). In the upcoming quote, Steinbeck explains the toll of Lennie on George through an analogy, “His slapping shoulders were bent forward and he walked heavily on his heels, as though he carried the invisible grain bag”(45).
