# data[].attributes.body
George seems to get frustrated with Lennie but over all cares about him. I realized this in chapter 1 when Lennie tells George he will just run off and live in a cave and George tells him no that he will stay with him. Another example of this is when Lennie gets in trouble and George always tells him where to go and hide so he does't get caught. If George didn't truly care about Lennie, then he would just let him get caught so that he doesn't have to put up with him.
