             How Does the Author Make Lennie a Sympathetic Character?.
            
             Upon reading this novel, one cannot fail to notice the style of approach used by the author. The author lets one obtain a notion as to how Lennie is a sympathetic Character by depicting a saddening image of the immature and infantile Lennie, yet he also portrays robustly the fact that Lennie is a "nice fella." .
             Throughout his life George has been running from Lennie's past, from all his irrational endeavours trying to keep an eye on him every minute of the day in case he was to do something he didn't know was wrong. George also cares for Lennie following the death wish of Lennie's aunt Clara. George gave Lennie the prospect of sharing a vegetable patch with him, where they would have rabbits and chickens "We"ll have a big vegetable patch and a rabbit hutch and chickens. And when it rains in the winter, well just say the hell with goin" to work." This to Lennie was just too good to be true it was just heaven on earth! This is practically the only thing Lennie actually remembers everything else seems to slip his mind.
             Lennie has the intellectuality of an infant but is as "strong as a bull", on the ranch where co-workers struggle as a pair to shift a grain bag, Lennie takes a bag with ease single-handed. Sometimes he can be strong for his own good, this proved to be the case when he was provoked by Curley bosses son, at first Lennie backed away after being called vulgar and repulsive names, and took some blows from Curley in the stomach and face until "the big face with covered with blood", but just when George told him to stop him he reached for his hand and cupped his hand over Curley's with brutal force, and "the next minute he was flopping like a fish on a line." .
             Lennie respects George greatly anything George tells him to do he"ll do it no questions asked "I used to have a hell of a lot of fun with "im. Used to play jokes cause he was too dumb even to know he had a joke played on him.
