Character Foil: George.

I think George is a true friend: Lenny can always count of George whenever he needs it. George knows that Lenny isn't the brightest of all men, so George takes time to make sure that Lenny understands. George doesn't let him blow up and he's always there to make sure he doesn't get into trouble.

George:
" 'I ain't sure it's good water,' he said. 'looks kinda scummy". George is careful for his actions, he carefully chooses whether to drink the water or not, incase it was possibly contaminated.
"George said, 'his name's Lenny Small' ". George makes his and Lenny's decision, because he doesn't want to get in trouble for anything Lenny says or does.
" 'Oh! I ain't saying he's bright. He ain't. But I say he's a God damn worker. He can put up four hundred pound bale' " George is making Lenny look good to make sure they don't get the wrong idea. George is convincing the boss that Lenny can do anything you ask him too. He's saying this because he seems like a good friend who wouldn't back out on Lenny.
