It is the driving factor in the events that lead up to the climax, and stays on the reader's mind after the novel ends. ]]> 2021-12-17 01:46:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kendigray/1ogx7jjh58glh4xq/wish/1952891555 How does the topic of friendship tie in with one of the novel's themes? kendigray https://padlet.com/kendigray/1ogx7jjh58glh4xq/wish/1952908367 Even when all else fails, friendship will withstand the erosion of time and emerge as the strongest standing factor.]]> 2021-12-17 01:58:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kendigray/1ogx7jjh58glh4xq/wish/1952908367 kendigray https://padlet.com/kendigray/1ogx7jjh58glh4xq/wish/1952913247 2021-12-17 02:01:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kendigray/1ogx7jjh58glh4xq/wish/1952913247 "Lennie said, 'I thought you was mad at me, George.'

that help you seek safety in the storm
they support you when you walk
when your feet are weary and torn.

there may be much in life to debate
but one thing is always precise;
a friend's kind actions will stay with one forever
and will be remembered for life.

This poem, written by me, was inspired by the friendship dynamics of the main characters in the novel. George, no matter what, never left Lennie's side, even if it cost him greatly in the end.
