With the excess food their workers are not hungry, and will demand higher wages. The landowners want to keep their subjects in oppression because a hungry man will work for whatever he can
It seems like a ritual or a bed time story for Lennie and it comforts his when something goes wrong. “George’s voice became deeper. He repeated his words rhythmically as though he had said them many times before.” George and Lennie aren’t like many migrant farm workers; they go everywhere together and stay together throughout. “I got you to look after me and you got me to look after you.” They don’t like what they do but it’s the only thing they can do to earn money. “Guys like us guys that like on ranches are the loneliest guys in the world.” But they believe they can be happy and successful not like other workers.
Having the occupation as a “poor beggar” was considered illegal and the punishment would to be beaten.

Following the recent Cold War, capitalist America’s controlling nature typically victimised plebeians on the basis of their political perspective. Through the employment of mise-en-scene where the campfire is placed in the middleground of the dark Atacama Desert, Salles creates a salient point which emphasises the disassociation of the Chilean miners from society. Ernesto’s authorial voiceover ‘tragic and haunting faces’ in conjunction with a close-up shot of their dirt-stained faces, the mining couple are presented as politically dispossessed. This draws sympathy from the audience towards the couple as they are victimised and oppressed due to American capitalism. Moreover, when being chosen by the mining company, the unsteady camerawork and constant switching of perspectives highlights the controversial nature of the conversation and presents Ernesto as an authoritative figure fighting the inhumane treatment of the impoverished in South America.

For example in the novel, they escaped from Weed before heading to Soledad; the reason was because Lennie had done something there. Another impression Steinbeck has left us is that George depends on Lennie for comfort and to keep him company to avoid him being alone; due to events that was occurring around those times being lonely was not an option therefore, he took Lennie in and made him his companion. Reading on in the novel, they both looked up to the ‘American dream’ which was to work hard and buy their own land and grow crops and lots of animals. Within that time everyone looked up to that dream. Lennie Small In the novel, Lennie is portrayed as one of the main characters in Of Mice of Men and George’s companion.
