Answer:

i love you :)

Step-by-step explanation:

The two men are described as walking in single file and even in the open

one stayed behind the other’. Both were dressed in denim trousers and in

denim coats with brass buttons’. George is described as being ‘small and

quick, dark of face, with restless eyes and sharp, strong features’. Lennie

is described as being George’s ‘opposite’ – ‘a huge man, shapeless of face,

with large, pale eyes, with wide sloping shoulders; And he walked heavily,

dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws’.

I presume Lennie was following George as he always does. Throughout

the story Lennie follows George and always tries to do what George tells

him. The fact that they were both dressed alike in denim tells me that they

were working men and that they were equal. George wasn’t dressed any

better than Lennie. George is described as ‘small and quick’. This is in

contrast to Lennie who is ‘big and slow’. George is clever but quick to

anger. Lennie is not clever and is slow to lose his temper. The way that

George is described reminds me of a rat or a mouse. Lennie is described

like a big bear – gentle most of the time but very dangerous when he is roused.
