2. PG 22 “ Well, I never seen one guy take so much trouble for another guy. I just like to know what your interest is.” George said.” He’s my …cousin. I told his old lady id take care of him. He got kicked in the head by a horse when he was a kid. He’s awright. Just ain’t bright. But he can do anything you tell him.” Males are suppose to be tough and travel solo, so it is odd and strange that these two males, George and Lennie, are so close together and with each other all the time.
