While reading the book "Of Mice and Men," many themes were discussed in our daily language arts classes. The book was filled with many life lessons that give us an advantage to follow. One of the themes that stuck out at me, while reading, was Friendship. This topic can bring a lot to memories and touch someones life. Friends are needed in life or we, as humans, could go crazy... Literally! Friends provide the support that our parents or any other person could provide to us. In the book Lennie and George had a very special friendship, they weren't family but they stuck together like brothers, whether it was for good or bad. Yes, George made a promise to Lennie's Aunt, that he would take care of her nephew, but that grew a beautiful friendship. They both depended on each other like we depend on nature and nature depends on us. George couldn't possibly get the jobs that he does if it weren't for Lennie and his giant figure. And Lennie couldn't possibly live without George's accompany. This theme caught my attention more than the others because, it showed that life cannot go on without the support of friends, they make up a big part of our lives. This theme effects me the most because I have experienced a time without friends, and a time where I was alone, and I learned that there was nothing like friends. At the end of the story, George shows that he had to make a tough decision, but it ended up being for the best of Lennie, he couldn't possibly live any longer without struggle and pain. George stayed faithful to Lennie until the end of his life, he told all the stories that Lennie wanted him to and he stuck up for him in every bad situation. Though George took advantage of Lennie, and Lennie disobeyed George they stuck together and they knew their limits, they knew that they were the closest thing to family and that nothing should ever separate their being together.
