Part 4

In part 4, I noticed how similar George, Lennie, and Candy are.  Lennie, Candy, and, George all have the dream, motivation, and desire to buy their dream property and live a better life than what they have right now.  Lennie had always believed that their dream would come true.  When Candy told George that he would pay $350, George began to believe that their dream would come true.  It can be inferred that Candy believes in their dream, because he continuously talks about their property and even told Crooks and Curley's wife about their dream property.  Crooks said, "I seen hundreds of men come by on the road an' on the ranches, with their bindles on their back an' that same damn thing in their heads.  Hundreds of them.  They come, an' they quit an' go on; an' every damn one of 'em's got a little piece of land in his head.  An' never a God damn one of 'em ever gets it."  Later Candy replied to this by saying, "You God damn right we're gonna do it.  George says we are.  We got the money right now."
In addition to sharing motivation to buy their dream property, George, Lennie, and Candy seem to share a special bond.  These three men seem to stand up for each other and genuinely care about each other, unlike the other men on the ranch.  When Lennie thought that Crooks meant that somebody had hurt George, he walked dangerously towards Crooks and demanded, "Who hurt George?"  Lennie has lots of trust in George.  When Crooks was torturing Lennie with the thought of George leaving him, Lennie said, "George wun't go away and leave me.  I know George wun't do that." Candy also seems to care about George and Lennie.  He is willing to spend his money to buy a property that he will be sharing with George and Lennie.  When Candy was yelling at Curley's wife, he said, "An' we got fren's, that's what we got."  Unlike the other men on the ranch, Candy, Lennie and George seem to be friends.  If the three of them were not friends and unwilling to work together, none of them will get their dream property.  But because they are working together, they will be able to afford it.  George also is very caring.  He has not given up on Lennie and continues to take care of him.  Finally, George and Candy both act father-like towards Lennie.  George has taken care of Lennie, instead of just worrying about himself.  Additionally, when George was gone, Candy acted father-like by standing up for Lennie and protecting him.
George, Lennie, and Candy are caring and have motivation.  In part 5 and 6 of "Of Mice and Men," I believe that these traits will take them far.
