Have you ever met someone whom you felt absolutely safe with, and felt that you can rely on them? Your friendship with that person may seem incomparable to others and can mean a lot. A true friendship can help you feel meaningful to others. In Of Mice And Men, by John Steinbeck, the friendship between George and Lennie shows how much George loves Lennie as a brother by giving him protection, and how Lennie has given George his entire love and companionship.
George loved Lennie for who he was. They were able to act as themselves around each other and not feel bad about who or how they were. As described in this essay, a friend is someone who exemplifies trust, care, and being nonjudgmental. Neither George nor Lennie exemplify anything but the qualities of a friendship in the story.(Core

Meeting as children and sticking together through decades of hardships, CC and Hillary are there for each other even in death.

We all desire friendship and a safe space. In John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men, Lennie Smalls has a yearning for both. Lennie believes in his best friend, George, to never betray him. He also believes in his safe space, the riverbank and his dream. In my drawing, both of these needs are present.
My definition of a true friendship is one where you are there for someone no matter what the outcome may be. George and Lennie show three big reasons why they have a true friendship throughout the novel. The first reason is that George is always loyal to Lennie. No matter how much trouble Lennie gets into, George talks to Lennie and eventually forgives him. The second reason is that George never lets Lennie believe that their “American Dream” will never happen.
The relationship between the characters George and Lennie is a strong example of friendship in this novel. George and Lennie had been friends since they were kids; Lennie has always relied on George to get him out of tough situations since he is mentally challenged. When George and Lennie had arrived at the ranch the boss was wondering why Lennie couldn’t speak for himself; and that is when George had to step in, “George said, ‘He’s my … cousin. I told his old lady I’d take care of him.
In Chapter 1, when George and Lennie are talking about their dreams and hopes, Lennie states that “I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you___” (Steinbeck, 14). They both understand that they will be there for each other and will stay loyal no matter what. Another characteristic of friendship that is just as important is trust. In George and Lennie's relationship, there is a trust built between them, this is why their friendship cannot be broken even due to the many dilemmas they go through. Although that trust goes both ways, we can conclude that Lennie has put more trust in George by relying on him his whole life.
In ‘Of Mice and Men’, written by John Steinbeck, friendship is portrayed as one of the main themes in this novella and a very important part of people’s lives. Steinbeck also portrays friendship by highlighting the importance of friendship and showing how its presence and absence can trigger many positive and negative emotions. Its presence creates hope, feeling of companionship and a sense of responsibility. In spite of friendship’s presence creating positive feelings, its absence does the complete opposite. It generates a feeling of loneliness and isolation.
The theme of Of Mice and Men is friendship. I choose friendship as the theme of the book Of Mice and Men because Lennie and George always were traveling together and looking out for each other. In my poem, I choose to include the quote “It’s a lot nicer to go around with a guy you know. ”(line 1 of poem pg 18). I think that it relates to the theme because it shows how the two are friends and they care about each.
Friends are a gift especially true friends. They do many things to benefit each other. The friendship throughout this paper is based on the novel Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. There are two men in the novella named George Milton and Lennie Small. They have the best of friendship.
What makes a true friend? A true friend is someone who sticks with one through the hardest times, is trustworthy, sees past one’s flaws, and sees one’s values. Friendship is so important that there are multiple people seeking it including Crooks who wants friends and Candy whose best friend, his dog, is killed, but George and Lennie are the role model of friendship throughout the book.
