I thought it was nice how much George looked up to Slim and trusted him. George told Slim why they left Weed and what Lennie did to the girl in the red dress. That's why I think that George was keeping Lennie away from the Curley's wife. But I also feel sad because no on eon the ranch likes Lennie. Crooks tod Slim that Lennie was messing around with the puppies, Curly just thinks he is stupid, and so does a lot more of the people. I think George and Slim will become good friends and eventually so will Lennie with them.
