Part 1:

2. List some words that Steinbeck uses to describe Lennie. List some words that Steinbeck uses to describe George. How do these descriptions compare and/or contrast to one another?

In the first section of the novel, Of  Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, he describes the two main characters as the opposite of each other. Steinbeck describes Lennie as a huge man, large pale eyes, shapeless face, and how he walks heavily. Steinbeck describes George as small, quick, thin bony nose, strong, and has restless eyes. These descriptions compare to one another because they have the exact opposite descriptions. George is slim and quick, but Lennie is big and slow.
