In my opinion I say George is mean to Lennie. He is mean to Lennie by not letting him go where he wants and he doesn’t let him keep the mice. Lennie wanted to do what he wants to do but George was to selfish and wanted Lennie to do what George wanted to. Lennie did not want to be bossed around by George so he said that he wanted to go to up the hills and wanted to live in a cave somewhere up there. Lennie just didn’t want to get bossed and pushed around anymore he didn’t want to be told what and not what to do. He just wanted to do what he wanted and pretty much he wanted the mice and live up the hills in a cave, but George said that if he stays he will give lennie a pup that way he wont kill it when he pets it with his thumb. George was a really bad friend to his other friend. If I was lennie I would of not been friends with him. The friendship wasn’t a real friendship, because all George did was tell him what to do while lennie just sat there and did what he said but lennie stood up for him self and said all this and that all over again, George realized and he didn’t want him to leave. I guess George should of realized how he was for him to say all that.
I liked that you were one of the few people to take this view. You were able to step away from the assumption that George is a good guy and look at his actions. Your piece really illustrates the old saying of "actions speak louder than words," Next time, I challenge you to go beyond details
