Favorite Character

My favorite character is Slim. He does not play a huge role in the story like George and Lennie but he still is a main character. He also is the most understandable character and smartest as well. He understands how George feels when he loses Lennie and he understands what the problem with Lennie is. He knows all of this but is still trustworthy and keeps these things to himself in order to protect George and Lennie. He is also the boss of the workers without the title. He is really not the boss but all of the other guys look up to him and follow him. He leads by example and the others usually agree and do the same thing. Slim also has the most realistic view on life. He lets Lennie have his dream about the farm because he understands his situation and realizes the implications for telling Lennie that his dream was impossible. He knows when to care and when to ignore things like Curley's Wife. Slim is the most realistic and down to earth character.
