Exam Essay Question # 10

10. How do you think George’s life would change if Lenny wasn’t mentally disadvantage?

In the book Of Mice and Men. There two main characters George and Lenny. Lenny is George’s mentally challenge counter part that always seem to be getting them in trouble. But also Lenny seem to be the reason for their economic income.
I think that if Lenny wasn’t mentally challenge George would never been kicked out of Weeds, placing them in the situation they are in now. In Chapter 1 George talks of things he could have if Lenny wasn’t around. Such as a women, 50 dollar to spent on anything he wanted. But the reason George says he can’t have these thins is cause he is dumb. I think that George would be able to have these things if he wasn’t mental challenge. I also believe that George wouldn’t even been stuck with Lenny in the first place. Instead of having too worry about someone else he wouldn’t have to worry about anyone but George. Lenny is George source of money making. George life would also become more difficult because he wouldn’t have Lenny strength to depend upon. He was stronger and faster then any worker. Making life harder George. Not saying that he wouldn’t be able to provide for himself but the money he usually make would be cut in half. Without Lenny being metal challenge for the whole book would change. George would be able to have all the things he mention in Chapter 1. Also his life would be a little harder. He doesn’t have the work force he had when Lenny was around, even if he only working to feed one mouth.
