George Vs. Lennie (looks and behavior)

"The first man was small and quick, dark of face, with restless eyes and sharp, strong features. Every part of him was defined: small, strong hands, slender arms, a thin bony nose. Behind him walked his opposite, a huge man, shapeless of face, with large, pale eyes, with wide, sloping shoulders; and as he walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws. His arms did not swing at his sides, but hung loosely" (2)  This how John Steinbeck describes George and Lennie. These two men are walking all alone, and you can tell by the way that they treat each other that they are friends, however, these men could not look and act more differently.  The first man that Steinbeck is referring to is George.  George is a short, but strong, and his friend Lennie, is a tall, and muscular.  George is always keeping an eye out for his friend, Lennie.  Lennie however, isn't as careful about his actions.  For example; when Lennie saw a pond, he immediately ran down and took long gulps of the water.  George however, studied the water before claiming it was safe to drink.
