The reason I think so is because spiritual, mental, and emotional aspects are much more significant than physical aspects. The story Of Mice and Men took place during the Great Depression, where close friendship between people was rare and unusual, and George benefited because he had a companion that traveled with him and always stayed with him. Lennie told George that if he is causing too much trouble for George, he can live in a cave alone, but George did not accept. When George shot Lennie (for Lennie’s benefit) and the friendship ended, George became extremely lonesome and he desired a friend like Lennie. Back to The Mighty, Kevin and Max realized that they had something in common.
His life has almost no chance of improving. While in Crooks’ room, Candy and Lennie talk about their plan to buy a plot of land for them and George to live and farm on. As Crooks hears, he asks if he could come with them; he explains that he could help in the garden or any odd jobs. Before Candy or Lennie could answer, Curly’s wife enters the room looking for Curly. She begins talking to them and calls them “bindle-stiffs.” Eventually Crooks had enough of her and stood up for himself “You got no rights comin’ in a colored man’s room… get out quick” (88).
Both honest mistakes that he didn’t even know he made. The ignorance shown towards Lennie in the novel was due to the time period and the people’s lack of knowledge. People in the story like “The boss” just thought that Lennie wasn’t smart because he just didn’t talk much unless it was to his best friend George. There was ignorance in Raymond because his brother thought that he could remove Ray from his schedules at his home and take him with him. The Ignorance was that Ray needed those schedules or he will have a fit.
After Candy takes them to the barracks and meet other ranchers but when they are left alone they meet Curley’s wife immediately and she starts to flirt with the both of them. Both of these scenes are different during the beginning of the book and movie. In the movie Of Mice and Men the beginning of the movie is significantly different then the beginning of the book. In the beginning of the book George and Lennie are walking down a path toward a ranch to work at. In the beginning of the movie George and Lennie are running away from a big group of guys that are chasing them.
Candy is lonely because of his age, he lost his dog, and his physical disability. Candy’s age is one of the reasons that affect his loneliness, “I ain’t got the poop no more” (20). He said this when the others go to town on Saturday night because he is too old to go out with them, and he thinks he would not fit in. Secondly, after Candy lost his dog he was lonelier, “Candy lay still, staring at the ceiling” (49). When Carlson asked to take Candy’s dog to kill it, Candy would not answer and just lay still and stare at the ceiling because he was sad that he would lose his only friend.

We have all been victims of “precious little angels” in the check-out lanes of supermarkets. My favorite “little angels” are the ones screaming at their parents and throwing themselves on the ground, because the wanted, “The Fruity Pebbles” not the Wal-Mart brand. The whole time the parent of the child is red faced and acting embarrassed. I was told as a child if screamed or whined, “I want, I want”; that would mean I would never get that item. My mother and father meant every word of that, and I knew it.
