Lennie and George in part 1

In part 1 of Of Mice and Men the author John Steinbeck describes Lennie and George very thoroughly. I feel that the book is going to use their personalities to make the book as realistic as possible. Lennie is a very big person he is very strong and kind of intimidates George. George has almost the exact opposite physical features than Lennie. He is small and slender but he is still very strong a little like Lennie. He is white but he has tan skin which hints to he was a farmer before he left where he came from. The rest of his features are sharp and bold. While I read this book I mainly focused on George and his actions. George acts as if he is Lennie's big brother because he is constantly making sure that Lennie isn't causing any harm to himself or anyone else. George doesn't really control his temper very well and is usually yelling at Lennie when he does something wrong. Looking at Lennie, he seems like a really nice person even though he causes a lot of trouble for George. When George referred to Lennie's tantrums in the book I thought that Lennie might have a mental disability such as Autism but I am going to have to read the book more in ordLennie er to find out.
