Fraternity of Brotherhood

What makes a brother hood? Lennie and Gorge is the first display of brotherhood we are introduced to in the book Of Mice and Men. The bond between Lennie and Gorge is the strongest on the ranch they have been through everything together. Gorge always takes up for Lennie and I’m sure if Gorge was in trouble Lennie would step in for Gorge. Just like he did for Gorge when Crooks was trying to make him think the worst of Gorge. Candy, Lennie, and Gorge made a bond by talking about their living arrangements together. Slim and some of the other guys joined together to convince Candy to shot his dog. All the men came together to bribe Curley into not getting Lennie in trouble for crushing his hand. The same brotherhood that came against Curley for Lennie, joined with Curley to harm Lennie. Some of the bonds in this story started over night and some began years ago, some did not last, and most did not give up.
