The type of friendship Lennie and George have is friendship of utility. ¨The friend is not loved for his own sake, but for the sake of some benefit received by the other.´´ This describes their friendship because George was always looking out for Lennie. For example when George killed Lennie for his own good and so he died happy rather than a long, painful death.

I think that George and Lennie share a friendship of utility. They both strive for a Ranch together. Lennie killing Curley’s wife causes conflict to their dream. Sadly, George kills Lennie to be able to reach his goal without Lennie pulling him back down further and further. “thus friends whose affection is based on utility do not love each other in themselves, but in so far as some benefit accrues to them from each other.”

I believe Steinbeck's portrayal of George and Lennie's friendship isn't one of benefiting from the other,but out of caring for each other as they have been with each other for a long time.As time grew on together,they even brought their own dreams together,of George getting his own place and Lennie being able to tend rabbits.Even though however,they do sepperate at times and this is when they are at their loneliest,after George killed Lennie to save him,he realized that he was alone now. Lennie in the story however is separated from the other due to his disabilities,he doesn't realize how others think of him or what his actions cause to happen

I believe that George and Lennie's frienship resembles "Friendship of Pleasure",because they are not with each other because of their usefulness but because they care about each other and would do anything for each other.I believe their friendship is summarized by a quote Lennie said when they were at the bank at the beginning and end of the story-"I got you to look after me George,and you got me to look after you."

Friendship:
Friendship is often times a double edged blade. Friendship can help you and help fight off loneliness but often times it can make you do things you normally wouldn't do.

Everybody wants to achieve the american dream, but its a steep mountain to climb. It is hard and does not come without sorrow and sacrifice.

Lennie and George have a friendship of the good. They both care about each other’s well-being, they have had time to develop their friendship,  and they are going through the same hardship (finding a job during the depression), which brings them closer. “who resemble each other in virtue. For these friends wish each alike the other’s good in respect of their goodness, and they are good in themselves; but it is those who wish the good of their friends for their friends’ sake who are friends in the fullest sense, since they love each other for themselves and not accidentally.” is a quote that best describes this relationship because George and Lennie accept each other for who they are and they resemble each other in some ways.

"but it is those who wish the good of their friends for their friends’ sake who are friends in the fullest sense, since they love each other for themselves and not accidentally."

I think that George and Lennie portray the friendship of the good. This is because in the passage its says  “Such friendships are of course rare, because such men are few." This relates to George and Lennie because during the time period they were in, it was very rare for two men that work together to be friends for as long as they have been.

The best-laid schemes of mice and men
Go often askew,
And leave us nothing but grief and pain,
For promised joy!

"George?"

"What you want?"

"Sure. You ain't done nothing wrong."

"I di'n't mean no harm, George."

"Well, get the hell out and wash your face."

I think that Lennie and George show the friendship of good . ¨The perfect form of friendship is that between good and those who resemble each other in virtue¨ I feel like that shows their friendship for each other because they both cared about each other and were  always trying to please each other for the good . For example Lennie would always try not to get in trouble because  that would make George mad also that meant he wouldn't be able to tend the rabbits but then George would always be there for Lennie to help him out and to make him joyfu and not frustrated  , to do this he talked about the plans for the future .Another quote I think resembles there friendship is ¨Since they love each other for themselves not accidentally¨ because George knew that Lennie would get in some sort of trouble but he still loved him for who he truly was.Even at end where Lennie killed Curleys wife , George picked the only chose he had to kill Lennie in peace rather then having to see him suffer.  Even having there ups and downs they both still cared and loved each other at end.

Quote from the poem:
"I'm truly sorry that my world,
Has broken into your world,
And justifies your ill opinion of men,
Which makes you startle
At me, you poor, earth-born companion,
And fellow mortal!"
Quote from of mice and men:

"We got a future. We got somebody to talk to that gives a damn about us. We don't have to sit in no bar room blowin' in our jack jus' because we got no place else to go. If them other guys gets in jail they can rot for all anybody gives a damn. But not us."

I think the friendship that George and Lennie have is a friendship of  pleasure. George gets pleasure by making Lennie do random acts for his amusement. Lennie doesn't realize that George does these things to him.

I think the friendship George and Lennie have is friendship of utility. "Consequently, in a friendship of utility, “men love their friend for their own good… and not as being the person loved, but as useful or agreeable.”  This quote perfectly explains how George killed Lennie for his own good, so that he would not suffer a more painful and terrible death where he would possibly suffer, like being lynched.

Quote from book "George I have you and you have me that is what makes us different then them other guys". Qouto from the poem"But Mouse ,you are not alone." This shows the compainionship of the characters in both works of writing. In the book it shows how lennie and George watch each other's backs. In the poem it shows how the mouse may think it is alone but the human will not do anything to hurt it and will make sure that it won't get harmed
