The only friend Lennie ever had, and the only one Lennie ever trusted shot him in the back of the head. (104)I enjoyed the overall story of the book. It was heartwarming to know that George would promise Lennies aunt that he would take care of Lennie after teasing him as a child. They grew up together and lived and worked together for so many years that it was hard for me to grasp why Steinbeck would let Georges character kill Lennie. Perhaps its because the time period and lifestyle is so much different in the 1990s, but I cannot imagine killing anyone of my friends for whatever reason; especially a friend Ive had for such a long time. I enjoyed the story and the friendships throughout the book but I did not enjoy the ending, which in turn ended up ruining the entire storyline for me....
