Of Mice and Men
As George, Lenny's companion and protector, Robb Derringer rises to the challenge Steinbeck set by closing off easy explanations for the two men's friendship. They aren't related, and George has difficulty explaining even to himself why he's compelled to care for the helpless burden that is Lenny. But when George recites his vision of the little farm he wants to buy for them one day, Derringer shows us the reason -- Lenny connects George with his own dreams.
