Section 6 - The Death of Lennie
Lennie may be big and not not the brightest individual, however he treats George like family and he always has his back. George felt the same way towards Lennie. Although George always talks about how easy life would be without Lennie, and how they wouldn't be in all the trouble they were in if it weren't for Lennie, but for some reason, George can't let Lennie go. It's as though he feels it's his job as well as his life to protect Lennie and help him make it through.
