My favorite character in the book is Slim. Slim is a well respected man that understands almost all things and is someone that everyone can talk to. I feel that Slim has a sort of vibe that come off of him that makes everyone respect him and feel that they can tell him anything and not have to worry if he is going to tell someone or if he is going to judge them on how they feel about something or their opinion. Slim and George kind of identify with each other in the story they both sort of look out for people and understand things that the other men and farm hands do not understand. Like at the end of the story when George has to shoot Lennie and all of the men run up and see him dead with George sitting there and ask what happened Slim just says you had to George you had to and doesn’t judge him or try to find out every little detail he understands what has happened and accepts it he also seems to have understood that George had the dream that he had just for the benefit of Lennie not him self he doesn’t really want the dream and now that Lennie is gone he can do what he wants so Slim offers to buy him a drink.
