George is more in charge and he controls what they do while Lennie follows George and copys what he does. I think they are traveling together because George is helping Lennie and they are good friends. Their dream is to have a house and a farm and have a lot of rabbits and they are going to acheive this dream by working hard and working their way up.
ReplyDeleteGeorge is a hard working, small, man who has a tempter and basically takes care of Lennie. Lennie is bigger, mental man who acts like a little kid and looks up to George. I think they are traveling together because they are related and George feels that he has to take care of him so he can survive. They both have a dream to work on a ranch and eventually have a little house with a couple of their own acres with a bucnh of farm animals and espically rabbits in a garden.
ReplyDeleteI think they are working together because George ran across Lennie and he became his brothers keeper, and he could get them hired easily because of his strength. They just want to live on a big farm and have acres of land plus rabbits to attend.
ReplyDeleteLennie and George are very different people. Lennie is a lot bigger with a body that isn't defined. George is small with a body that is defined, he has small hands and slender arms. George is mentally sound and Lennie has some mental problems. Lennie and George are probably traveling together because they have known each other since they were young. They have their dream to "Live off the fat o the lan", they plan to achieve this dream by first working on ranches to save up money. Next they plan to spend that money on a small house and a couple acres of land. On their land they want to have cows, chickens, a vegetable garden, and rabbits for Lennie to take care of.
ReplyDeleteLennie is a big guy and he likes mice and touches soft things. He is sorta retarted. George is a smaller man and he really doesnt care but he takes care of Lennie. I think Lennie and Geroge are traveling together becauase George probably thinks Lennie cant survive without him. I think the dream is that they want to live happy and have a big house, and acres. They plan to acheive this dream by working hard.
ReplyDeleteLennie is a bigger man then George. George is smaller then lennie and he love ketchup and mice. Lennie does not. Lennie and George are traveling together because lennie does not have anyone to live with and he is mentaly retarted. Their dream is to own land and live off the land and live in a house. They plan to achieve this dream by owning their own land.
ReplyDeletei think they are traveling together becuase they are bestfriends and they need eachother in life. They dream on living on a ranch and with some acres and lennie wants rabbits, furry ones, different colored ones.
ReplyDeleteThey are going to achive this dream by getting a job by talking to this boss, and working hard to fufuill their needs.
ReplyDeleteLennie is mentally retarded and is a big man, he likes mice and ketchup. George is opposite, he's smaller and is mean to lennie. both of them have a dream to get to the ranch get a job make some money and live an the fatta the land, meaning they want to have a good life on their own, own cows and chickens, have a garden and most importantly to have rabbits. Lennie and George are not related but since Lennie is always getting himself into trouble, George has taken over the responsibility of looking after him, in which he regrets even doing.
ReplyDeleteLennie and George are two very different people. Lennie is a big man who is mentally retarded. He is very strong.Lennie loves to pet soft things, like mice and rabbits. In comparison, George is a smaller man with a better mentality. I think Lennie and George are traveling together because George is a "brother keeper" to Lennie. George feels that it is his job to care for Lennie and he is trying to get them both to a better place. Lennie and George have a dream that they'll live in a small house on a ranch together. They'll have a vegetable garden and a hutch with rabbits and chickens. George will let Lennie care for the rabbits. Finally, they'll sit around the fire on days that they don't want to go to work. Lennie and George plan to achieve this dream by keeping a job and making enough money to move into their own house.
ReplyDeleteLennie is little, small, and smart. George is tall, mentally handicapped, likes ketchup and mice.
ReplyDeleteLennie and George are probably traveling together cause George takes of Lennie so they would have to be together all the time.
The dream that Lennie and George had was about how they wanted to have a farm and lots of rabbits. They plan on achieve this dream by getting rabbits and having different color ones.
Lennie is big and mentally retarded. George is smart and is taking care of Lennie, because Lennie has no one else to live with. Their dream is to find a nice place to live with alot of land, with animals, and to grow their food. They will achieve this by working anywhere they can to make money and saving their money for this.
ReplyDeleteThey are also going to achieve their gools by getting jobs and working hard and not mess up
ReplyDeleteLennie is a litle bit slower than the average person is, mentally. He has amazing strength and loves certain things. He loves touching anything that is soft and he also likes ketchup. George on the other hand is quite short tempered. But at the same time he is a very caring person. They travel together because they both need to find work and George doesnt think Lennie can make it without him there with him. Their dream is to have a small home with a lot of acres and a vegetable patch. Also they wish to raise rabbits and chickens.
ReplyDeleteLennie and George are very different people. George is not afraid to speak his mind, and is very impatient with things. He is cautious and is just trying to get by. Then Lennie is afraid to stand up for himself and loves the comfort of mice and ketchup. I think that the reasons they are traveling together is because Lennie might have mental problems. He needs someone their for him and George is like his mentor, or brother's keeper. George might get angry with Lennie at times but he just wants Lennie to be able to live his life. The dream they came to have is someday get a little house and acres of land. They want to have a garden and even own rabbits. They are going to try to acheive this dream by working and trying to start their life over. Mainly trying to stay out of trouble so they don't have to run and they can acheive their dream faster.
ReplyDeleteGeorge and Lennie are migrant workers. George has to take care of Lennie because he's mentally handicapped. They want a farm when they say "Livin' off the fat o the lan."
ReplyDeleteThe differences between George and Lennie is that George is a much smaller person than Lennie. Lennie is mildly retarded and George is a very smart man, who knows where to find work and know the land pretty well.
ReplyDeleteI think that Lennie and George are traveling together because Lennie is mildly retarded and George is his mentor, someone who watches over him. George helps Lennie get out of trouble when needed and also helps him to get new jobs. I also think they travel together because Lennie tends to forget things quite often and George is there to remind him of what they are there to do.
Lennie and Georges dream to "Live off the fat o the lan'" is that they wish to strike it rich. They want to be able to grow their own crops, raise livestock, and Lennie wishes to tend to rabbits. They plan to achieve this dream by buying a house together and living off the land that they invest in.
George is like the ring master and Lennie are like the tamed elephants that jump when they are told to jump. And they plan on acheive their goal by getting jobs on farms every months
ReplyDeleteLennie is bigger than george and lennie is mentally challenged. George looks out for Lennie and always gives him what he wants trying to help him. They have the american of owning a farm and Lennie wants to tend to rabbits.
ReplyDeleteLennie is the bigger guy and his mentally retarded. He likes ketchup and mice. George is the skinnier guy and he looks after Lennie. They travel together because they are friends and George feels he has the responsibility to take care of Lennie. In their dream, Lennie and George own a home and some land, and have farm animals... And rabbits. Lennie is going to keep out of trouble and someday they can fullfil their dream.
ReplyDeleteLennie are George are very different. George is a small, smart, and has become a frustrated man. At times he gets upset with his traveling friend, Lennie. Lennis is a large, mentally challenged man, who has child-like qualities. I think at one time both men were adopted and taken in by a woman named Aunt Clara. They began a family, but then Aunt Clara died and George was forced to take care of his adopted sibling, Lennie. Even though George gets frustrated with Lennie he still takes care of him the best he can. George has told Lennie a story of the future they want to have. The dream includes living in their own house, having a garden, which includes having lots of rabbits and animals, they also have no family, they work for themselves and blow the money on themselves. They plan on doing this by working hard, and not losing their new coming job. Lennie will have to stay quiet and not mess up.
ReplyDeleteLennie is a huge man. He is mental. George is a smart one and he takes care of Lennie. I think Lennie and George are traveling together because Lennie has no where to go and he's always getting into trouble. They dream to have a small house, a bunch of farm animals, and espically bunnies. soft bunnies.
ReplyDeleteSissy mal! Yours is niceee (:
ReplyDeletei like yours mallory :).
ReplyDeletei like yours too kels. :D
They will achieve their goal by working hard to make money anywhere they can.
ReplyDeletethey plan on achieving this dream or goal by Lennie not saying any thing this time seeing how they can never hold a job b/c lennie is always getting into trouble and have to hide in an irrigation ditch
ReplyDelete...and they will approve that dream by working hard.
ReplyDeleteLennie is a large, mentally slow man who forgets things very easily. He likes to pet soft things like mice. He also likes ketchup on his baked beans.
ReplyDeleteGeorge is a smaller man, who seems angry almost all of the time. George sometimes yells at Lennie for small things. I think George yells at Lennie becuase George is angry at himself.
I think that Lennie and George are traveling together becuase Lennie would have been shot if he was on his own. Since Lennie cant really think for himself, George kind of took Lennie under his wing.
The dream that Lennnie and George will one day own a ranch with chickens and rabbits, that they will be able to take care of. Lennie would be in charge of the rabbits becuase he likes soft things, and hopefully he wont be able to kill them like he has all the mice. They plan to achieve this dream by working and making enough money to afford a little house, and George has to make sure that Lennie stays out of trouble.
they plan on achieving that goal by getting rabbits and having different color ones
ReplyDeleteLennie is a big strong guy that's slow that is obsessed with soft things like little animals. George is a little guy that knows enough to look out for the both of them. I think the two are only together because they are friends but George feels obliged to help Lennie get along because he doesn't have enough sense to be on his own. They dream that they will have their own house on a few acres of land with animals, and Lennie's favorite, rabbits, and a garden. George has it planned that if they keep their jobs long enough to make enough money and keep Lennie out of trouble they can get this house.
ReplyDeletelenny is a man who takes care of george. lenny is a hard working man who gets very angry sometimes. george on the other hand is a very tall man who is kind of slow in the mental area and really just acts like a like kid all the time
ReplyDeleteill make it up this weekend,
ReplyDeletebecause i forgot about it.
lennie like animals and he likes the little animals but always kills them. lennie is the one who is not the smartest person in the world he always forgets things.. george is the one who always gets the jobs and lennie always makes the lose them. george keeps lennie in his life so he can watch out for him. they want to have there own farm and have there own animals on it and have everything the want on there farm.
ReplyDeleteLennie and George travel together because George feels it is his responsibility to take care of Lennie now that their Aunt is gone. There are some differences though. They are different in that Lennie is a large man and is mentally challenged, while George is a smaller and more educated man. Their dream of living off of the land is to have their own place and have animals including pigs , chickens, and rabbits. They want to live together and Lennie will tend to the animals while George takes care of everything else.They decided they are going to work on a ranch and save up their money unlike the other people who work on ranched that go into town and blow their money.
ReplyDeleteLennie is a huge guy that loves soft things. George is a smaller man is more careful than Lennie. They are traveling together because I think they need eachother to survive. George with his smarts and Lennie with the muscle. They want to get jobs to be able to be more sucessful. I think people that are opposite to eachother get more stuff done than people that are alike. So Lennie's and George's differences will allow them to complete there american dream. Their hard work will get them to where they want to be.
ReplyDeletelenny is just like me in some ways hes short gets angry very easy and is not considered a hard worker. george is like my father hes very tall a little slow in the head but loves me to death and im very interested in reading the rest of this book.
ReplyDeleteLennie is a very large man, and George is not quite as big. Lennie has more of a childish mind and likes to have fun, and Ge,orge doesn't mind having fun, but is a lot more serious. Lennie and George are good friends, though sometimes it seems like George would rather be on his own but won't, because he knows that Lennie would never last on his own. Lennie and George's dream is to buy a house with a few acres of land, a garden, and rabbits for Lennie. They plain to achieve this goal by keeping a job long enough, and keep Lennie out of trouble, to earn enough money to buy such a house.
ReplyDeleteLennie is a strong, black man who is meantly impered and has a need to touch soft things.George is short musculer black man who looks out for lennie. There dream is to work hard and save there money. lennie also wants a bunny farm.
ReplyDeleteLennie is a big strong guy that is kinda slow and has a big obesson with soft things and small animals. Then there is George, he is a shorter guy that is smart and watches out for the both of them. They are together because Lennie really cant take care for him-self. They have a dream to own a hous of there own on a few acres of land and have rabbits and a nice garden. But George has it planned that it the both of them keep the jobs they have and long enought to make lots of money and to make sure that Lennie will stay out of trouble.
ReplyDeleteLennie is Big and not so bright he acts like a child and copies Georges actions Lennie also gets in trouble for his actions to ,George is smaller but has strong hands and is very crafty he looks after George by telling him what to do and when to do things.George travels with Lennie because he like the company and does not think Lennie can look after himself and Lennie follows George because he looks up to him and likes him. they both have a dream of buying land and living of the fat of the land with there own orchard and a garden and Lennie wants to tend to the rabbits George describes it the Lennie whenever he asks and George already has an affordable property in mind and wants to build up a stake.
ReplyDeleteLennie is mentally challenged and is really obsessed with soft animals etc;. Lennie is strong, big, and tall. And George is actually short compared to Lennie. He knows that he is "responseable" for Lennie. he knows that if he doesn't that something bad could happen to him. And i think that is the only reason that they have met and became friends. Their dream is to own a farm with soft animals such as bunnies, chickens, and other small soft fuffy looking things. Like the mice, but he killed the little soft mice. And Lennie wants to own a garden too. Goerge is seeing if he can save up all his money long enough so that he and Lennie can move into together. Lennie also loves ketchup on his beans.
ReplyDeleteGeorge is a small statured man who has a bad temper. Takes care of lenny. Lennie is a bigger man who is a little slow in the head. They travel together i think because george feels that lennie needs his help.There dream is to have a little house on a couple acres of land with some animals. They plan to have there jobs just long enough to get the money and keep lennie out of trouble.
ReplyDeleteI think that they are working togeather because they are friends. They both dream of living off the fat of the land and want to build a house out in the country.
ReplyDeleteLennie is a big strong mentally challened man ,on the other hand george is a skinny strawny men with a bony nose.George is te brains of the two he takes care of lennie. I think the two are together because they are freinds.They both want to have a farm with a couple of acres and horses and pigs.George has it planned out he thinks that if they both keep there jobs they can buy the farm they want.
ReplyDeletethey are going to save up there money so the can live there dream
ReplyDeleteLennie is a big and strong but nice guy that likes to touch things he likes.
ReplyDeleteand Lennie never means no harm, and he pretty much does whatever George tells him to do. George is a strong little man, very defined face. tells lennie to do pretty much anything he wants him to, whether it be wrong or right. they travel together because they are so different. they are going to have a ranch and a house,and chickens and a berry garden and rabbits and lennie is going to tend the rabbits and grow alfalfa to feed the rabbits. they are going to have pigeons to fly around the windmill like when they were young, and they just want to be able to have their own land to kick people off of when they want, and invite people whenever they want. and they are going to achieve this by saving up their money they get from working on the ranch.
lennie and george are diffrent because, lennie is a special man that likes to pet dead mice and really soft things. And george is a shorter guy that takes care of lennie. lennie and george are traveling together because lennie could never be on his own or alone. And george is staying with him to keep an eye on him and watch his back basically. Lennie and george have a dream that is to basically to live out in the woods with all the animals and to have there own house.
ReplyDeletethe dream of theres that they would love to have is having a house and alot of land. some loving animals like rabbits and maybe own a small garden with some plants
ReplyDeleteLennie is defiant and mentally challenged. George is smart and impaiet. There dream is to have a house with a farm. lennie cannot be on his own that is why he is with george.
ReplyDeleteLennie is a larger man and has big hands with a child like attitude while George is a smaller man with an extreamly short temper. I think that the two of them travel to gether because Lennie started to grow on George and he can't let him go. their dream is to live in a nice house with lots of animals and little rabbits just for Lennie. They need to find work or else it will never happen and actually keep their jobs.
ReplyDeleteLennie and George are two different people who both have problems like everyone else in the world. Lennie is mentally challeged and is strong. He also likes to touch soft things, like rabbits and mice. But he pets them to hard and kills them. That's why George will get Lennie a puppy because it's bigger and he will be able to pet it harder and not have to worry about killing it. George has to deal with stuff by having to take care of Lennie and he wonders what it would be like if he didn't have to take care of Lennie. He would have a better life; a job; even maybe a girlfriend. But he knows he needs Lennie as much ans Lennie needs him. Both of their dreams are livin' off the fat o the lan' and also Lennie wants to tend his own rabbits. They are going to get a job to make money to be able to make their dream come true. God bless their hearts.!
ReplyDeletei think that lennie is a good person, but isnt very understanding of the situations he gets in, george isnt as big as lennie and can comprehend his mistakes, he knows that without lennie, he could get in trouble and not have backup, or if lennie left, people or animals would try to kill him. lennie is mentally challenged so i guess he has a weird obsession for soft furry things, like mice. and george always takes the mice he finds off the road. they want toachieve the american dream by being able to do whatever they want
ReplyDeletewell lennie is the bigger man and george is a more smaller man and lennie tends to get in trouble alot and thye are travling together because they are friends and help each other out and the american dream is to have their own ranch and home so they can have people over and make them leave whenever they want them to leave
ReplyDeleteGeorge tells Lennie what to do and what not to do. Lennie just follows George and listens to George. I think George and Lennie travel together because Lennie wouldnt survive without George. George and Lennie dream about buying a farm with lots of rabbits and other animals.
ReplyDeleteI think that Lennie and George are really close beacuse they have worked together for a while. Lennie is a well listener to George when george tells lenie to do something Lennie does it. Lennie and Georges American Dream is going to work well if they keep up what there doing in life.
ReplyDeletei think that Lennie and George are traveling together because they are best friends and george has to take care of Lennie. Their American dream is to buy a lot of land with a house and raise chickens and rabbits. I think they will achieve their dream if they work really hard and if they don't let anything get in their way.
ReplyDeletedifferences between lennie and gorge is lennie is tall and kinda slow and gorge is smaller and witty. i think they are travling together because lennie kinda ran across eachother. the dream that lennie and gorge have is to own there own ranch so that they dont have to work for other people they can be there own boss
ReplyDeletelennie is big and dumb, george is small and takes care of lennie.i think they continue to travel together because they need each other. they look after each other, george looks after lennie more than the other but they still need each other. they plan to live off the land by getting a ranchand living off the cows and chickens ect., all they have to do is get the "stake" to buy it.
