Favorite character

Who is your favorite character in this book? Explain your reasons for choosing him or her.

My favorite character would have to be Slim. Slim was always looking out for other people and not just himself. When he first met Lennie and George he was very friendly and was very excepting. He didn’t judge them or anything and George and Lennie felt welcome to the ranch mainly because of Slim. Slim kept his men in line and made sure they got their jobs done right. Slim wasn’t a lazy guy and he was a hard working guy. Slim was just a good person to go to and talk to and he was trustworthy. George could ask Slim questions about other people such as Curly and George would know that Slim would keep the discussion between the two of them. After George killed Lennie at the end of the book, Slim just said that George did the right thing to help him feel better. Slim knew that George had to make a hard decision but Slim was there for George when he needed someone by his side. I really like Slim because he seemed understanding of other people’s decisions. Some examples were when Lennie broke Curly’s hand, when Carlson killed Candy’s dog, and when George killed Lennie. Slim was just a really nice guy to other people, and he was very inviting. People also respected Slim and didn’t have anything bad to say about him.
