Of Mice and Men
            
            
             Companionship and loneliness are two things that
            
             everyone feels at one time or another. Of Mice and Men by,
            
             John Steinbeck was the book with this theme. Lennie needed
            
             George as a companion to keep him out of trouble. George
            
             without Lennie would be a lot better off. Curley's wife with
            
             a companion would be better off in her struggle in life.
            
             Companionship is needed when in trouble and could be
            
             useful in everyday life.
            
             Lennie is a character who needs a companion in order
            
             to survive. When Lennie has George, he is able to work
            
             without anyone taking advantage of him. George guides Lennie
            
             and often finds hard to keep him on track. If Lennie was
            
             without a companion he would probably be put in jail due to
            
             his actions. Lennie needs George so he can share a dream
            
             with him. Steinbeck said, "In a panic, Lennie looked at George
            
             for help. "He can do anything you tell him," said George. (Pg.22)
            
             George's life was probably worsened because he had
            
             Lennie as a companion. With Lennie around George had a
            
             hard time getting girls and keeping a job. Lennie would get
            
             into trouble and force them out of town. George without
            
             Lennie would be better off. George is able to hold his own
            
             without someone to share his thoughts with or to guide him.
            
             Steinbeck said "But he gets in trouble alla time because he's
            
             so God damn dumb. (Pg. 41)
            
             Curley's wife is a character in the novel that is really
            
             affected by being lonely. She is the only girl and nobody
            
             wants to talk to her because Curley would beat them up. She
            
             is really suffering from this. Curley's wife has a musical
            
             talent because nobody wants to hear her talk or none the less
            
             sing. She would be a lot better off with a companion.
            
             Steinbeck says, "Why can't I talk to you? I never get to talk
            
             to anybody. I get awful lonely. (Pg. 86)
