What is your definition of a true friend? Well, for me a true friend is someone who understands you, accepts you for who you are and is willing to do anything for you. While reading John Steinbeck's classic, Of Mice and Men, George and Lennie maintain a true friendship despite all the ups and downs they encounter. After Lennie Small, a mammoth-sized man with a brain the size of a pea is caught touching a girl's dress in the town of Weed, he and his best friend, an average migrant worker, George Milton, embark on an arduous travel to the city. of Soledad and begins working on a ranch. Young people understand that there is a true fraternal bond between them and that nothing can separate them. Even though the book has its rough spots, Steinbeck portrays the true bond of friendship that even close people like siblings have. Throughout the story, GeorgeGeorge didn't want to kill Lennie, but at the same time he didn't want him to suffer the horrible consequences; he knew that Lennie's death would be beneficial to Lennie in the future. Furthermore, George knew what was best for Lennie and decided to kill him for his sake. Even though it seemed like George and Lennie's relationship wasn't very equal, a thorough examination of their interactions, conversations, and time spent together reveals that they indeed had a true friendship. Therefore, men were always there to support each other; they accepted each other; and George always knew what the right decisions were for Lennie. In conclusion, Steinbeck shows us that a true friendship can be a little difficult at times, but in the end two can come together to form the perfect team that will always have support for each other. When the time comes for you and you find "the perfect friend", you should think to yourself: would this person ever be as close to me as George and Lennie were in the book Of Mice and Men by John?
