Elliot is proving to ET that he can trust him, that he will protect him and that he will keep him safe. This is an important part of friendship, trust.

Steinbeck uses the dream to show George and Lennie’s relationship. The shared dream gives both men something to look forward to but for different reasons, which shows how different the two men are.

According to a Turkish Proverb, “A good companion shortens the longest road.” This companion is someone who must truly believe in and help the other individual accomplish his or her dream.

Of Mice and Men Essay Loyalty “So much of what is best in us is bound up in our love of family, that it remains the measure of our stability because it measures our sense of loyalty. All other pacts of love or fear derive from it and are modeled upon it,” said Haniel Long. This is a quote that shows that loyalty of family comes first.
