   Hello there MissD, im assuming you are studying Of Mice and Men for Gcse English Literature,
   i have indeed done the same and i love this book however im sort of rusty on the quotes but here are a couple that reflects georges character,
   
   
   "I ain't got no people. I seen the guys that go around on the ranches alone. That ain't no good. They don't have no fun. After a long time they get mean.

   ^That one is something where he seems to describe his life in a nutshell and what he has to go through with looking after lennie etc, and the kind of person he is himself by saying that he doesnt want what others want and enjoys lennies company regardless of the amount of times he compains about his 'retardness'. He doesnt want to admit it but he likes lennie...

   George Milton plays a vital role in Steinbeck's novel- Of Mice and Men. He is a migrant worker suffering from the American Depression. In the novel, George is accompanied by a mentally retarded man named Lennie Small. Together they travel around the vast lands of America looking for work. This novel particularly sets in Salina's valley, where George and Lennie's story are told from a ranch.
