He feels better after doing the right thing. After contemplating whether to help free Jim for a second time, Huck thinks about all the times Jim has been there for him and helped him and been selfless and cannot bring himself to not help free his friend. Furthermore “[Huck] struck the time [he] saved [Jim] by telling the men [they] had small-pox aboard, and [Jim] was so grateful” (223), making it almost impossible for Huck to
Even though Lennie really bothers George at some points, he is a wonderfully loving and devoted friend and would never actually leave Lennie. He also seems to have a very short temper.

It also shows how much he wanted a “father form heaven”: someone he could rely on to earn for his family and support him. Frank thinks his dead brothers won’t ever have to deal with such worries and not getting what they want. He realizes that death may have not been such a bad thing for Eugene but a way of escaping all of life’s hardships for a much more heavenly place. He even seems to be a bit jealous! This suggests that he thought death was better than life at one point.
When he had dreams of greatness, he didn’t hesitate one bit to share with his brothers and dad.

No matter what color, race, sex, what set they’re from, how they were raised, anything. He loves everyone. To prove this, “if you were my son, I’d be the proudest man alive” shows that he shows Looney a tremendous amount of love. Looney has just pulled G aside to show him his report card of “straight A’s” which turned out to be a little off but Father Greg decides to support Looney and show compassion because he is proud of him regardless.

For example, Brother was the only one who made Doodle could walk when no one else could not. Even though his desire stemmed from embarrassment, he still had the faith and perseverance to help doodle believe in himself. Doodle would have never tried hard if it not been for his brothers encouragement. In addition, when Doodle walked to the dinner table the family was in tears.

God a’mighty, if I was alone I could live so easy.” The way that George expresses him self here is very important in understanding how Steinbeck wants us to see this character. Although we see how George would like to live a carefree life with nobody to have to look after, we also get to see that he truly loves Lennie and although he may complain about having to look after him he likes the company and we see this later on when he is talking to Slim the skinner at the ranch, “Course Lennie’s a God damn nuisance most of the time,’ ‘but you get used to goin’ around with a guy” this is the time where we see that if George was to lose Lennie he would also become disadvantaged as he would have nobody to confide in and would probably go insane with loneliness and self pity. Lennie gives George a reason to live and something to work for, he also helps to keep George inline as he thinks about Lennie before himself so looks after their “stake” and saves to buy the small plot of land they dream
