                      • He told Slim that he used to manipulate Lennie, and that he nearly drowned because of himself. Which he now feels very guilty about.
                      1. Shares a dream with Lennie, that they'll buy their own house and they'll "live off the fat of the land"
                        1. Doesn't really fit into the other ranch workers conversations, as their way of life is different.

                          Anmerkungen:

                          • They don't save up for the future, instead: At the end of every month (once they've got their paycheck) they'll go to a sex house and spend all their money.
