Their friendship first revels from that George and Lennie depends on each other. Without one of them, the dream can not countinue. Like George says "Guys like us are the loneliest people...but not us, cause I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you,"(page 14).

But George can not lose Lennie, for with Lennie, he won't be like the other migrants who lose their dreams, and George keeps Lennie away from dangers. With each other, they can keep thrie real heart. Steinbeck shows that people need someone to rely on when they live in difficuties and suffers. The best choice is friend. Futhermore, the book shows that friends know each other well. George understands Lennie, includes his behaviors and thoughts. For instance, when Lennie gets his puppy aand hides it under his cloth. "I tol' you you couldn't bring pup in here."(page 42) George knows that Lennie likes the furry things, and will bring the pup to the room. He does not want Lennie to kill the dog and be upset again. George regards Lennie as his ture friend, so he supervises Lennie to do the good things for himself. And George does not only put Lennie on the role of friend, also put him on the role of a relative. Although he says "If I was a relative of yours I'd shoot myself." He try to show that he wants to break away from Lennie, but when Lennie says he will leave George, George worries " I want you to stay with me,Lennie...Your Aunt Clara wouldn't like you running off by yourself, even if she is dead." He seems like inconsistent. But the every words prove that he regards Lennie as his real friend, even family. He just uses his rude behaviors instead of gental behaviors to show his love for Lennie. That's the reason why they do not feel lonely like other guys in the ranch, because they got each other. In this book Of Mice and Men, the author Seinbeck does not let George shows his love clearly through his words, but peoplecan always understand his deep love to Lennie from his behaviors. The author believes friendship is true and forever. George regards Lennie as his friend, so he treats Lennie sincerely. Although the readers always think George is rude to Lennie, people can still see the love from George's deepest heart.

This can proved by that George and Lennie rely on each other ， George knows Lennie well and George takes care Lennie like Lennie is his real cousin. You do not need to write the story of the novel. We already read it all. Other things are good. Their friendship first revels from that George and Lennie depends on each other. Only one of them can not achieve their dream alone. They need each other. Like George says “Guys like us are the loneliest people...but not us, cause I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you,”(page 14).

“Only one of them can not achieve their dream alone. They need each other.” // What do you want to say? You mean because their friendship was not a perfect, so only one person achieved the dream? Do not decide yet no one knows George achieved the dream or not. Do not make the novel’s conclusion by yourself. // // Also Lennie’s actions were not mean to do. Because he had mental retardation, he couldn’t control himself. So that can’t be describe by “being mean” // Furthermore, the book shows that George knows Lennie well.
