Lennie
Lennie is known in this book by how unintelligent he is on the outside, but he can be intelligent in some ways. He does not know how to act in front of people and says words that should not be spoken sometimes. He needs someone ( George) to tell him what to say because he does not understand other people very well. On the inside though, he does know when a situation is bad and can sense if something is wrong. He knows what is wrong and what is right, and Lennie just tries to do the right thing. Most of the time, Lennie does actions that are not suitable for the certain situation, but on the inside he tries his hardest to do what he thinks is right. I think that his actions seem harmful because he is such a large man that people think that whatever he is trying to do, is meant to be harmful.

Lennie is similar Crooks in the way that people don't treat them properly the ya they want them to. The biggest difference is that Crooks doesn't have any one to follow and he lives alone while Lennie has George to follow their fore he can fit in with people at times. Lennie is only made fun of for his lack of intelligence while Crooks is made fun of for his different skin color.
