George does not care about Lennie’s situation and he trust in him as Lennie trust in George. In chapter four, the George says, “A guy needs somebody-to be near him” shows that people need other people to be strong and take better decisions. No matter who is that person and how smart is he or she. George does not care about who Lennie is and he considered Lennie his friend, showing that intelligence is not everything. All Lennie actions show his innocence.
Meursault is the complete opposite; he lives in the moment and goes along with things without thinking them through. He is neither a controlling nor an overly organised man and seems to live with the basic necessities. Significant events like marriage or a parent’s death would normally have a massive impact on the individual person, but for Meursault, this is not so. Significant events such as these do not seem to matter to him on any sort of sentimental level.

During the times Tom Sawyer is not present in Huck's life, Huck is able to devise plans in most circumstances even if his plans do stay relatively simple. However, when Tom is present, Huck loses his ability to formulate plans because Tom thinks himself to be more experienced at such things and therefore will not allow Huck to formulate his own strategies: "[Huck] said, ‘Don’t do nothing of the kind; it’s one of the most jackass ideas I ever struck;’ but [Tom] never paid no attention to me; went right on.

My family is full of them. Some turned out good and many not so good. The majority of the problems came from a problem that included the father or father figure.
