One of the most difficult things that Tom had to go through was his father's Cancer diagnosis. Tom once told Noisecreep, “My dad has had a rare form of leukemia since I was in about the seventh grade...”(“Delonge on Cancer” 7).

Tired of constantly reminding Lennie of things he should remember, George gets quickly angry when Lennie forgets to get the firewood, for example, and instead goes after the dead mouse. On the other hand, George's anger is quickly under control, and he blames himself for scolding Lennie. In fact, Steinbeck makes clear that, despite his complaining and frustration, George looks out for Lennie and genuinely cares for him. Without companionship we have nothing, relationships with other people can define who a person is. Whether that relationship is with a dog, as in Candy’s case or with a wife like Curly.
