the brotherhood

The Brotherhood
What is brotherhood? Brotherhood is men bonding together for a common good, they ride together and die together. Some times their decision bring life and sometimes it brings death but either way their decision is final. As brothers their goal is to unite as one to protect their own, they unite together to play and relax, they also unite as one to kill another brother.
“Get him Lennie” that was the pleas of George when Curley began to beat Lennie for laughing at him. Lennie is a grown man with a mind of a four-year-old. Whatever George tells him he does. Curley is the boss son so he believes he can do whatever he wants because people are suppose to be scared of him, especially big guys and he hates them for the fact that he is small. Curley walked into the room looking for his wife and Lennie not knowing no better was laughing, and that’s when the fight began. “Ahhaa!” that was the sound of Lennie charging Curley his intention wasn’t to hurt Curley but just to make him stop hitting him. When Lennie got angry with Curley he broke his hand. “I’m sorry George, I didn’t mean to you said it was all right George” those were Lennie words when he realized he made a big mistake. He was just doing what he believed was right. After the fight was over everyone let Curley know that he was going to let people know that his hand got messed up by one of the machines. This was brotherhood.
George was real close with Slim. Even though Slim was his boss he was able to open up to him and be able to tell him things he couldn’t tell anyone else. When they got done working they would play horseshoes. It was a fun game to them to sit back and relax and take the stress off. While they were out having a ball Lennie was in the barn talking with Curley wife even though he was told not to because she would get him into so much trouble. She told him the only reason why she kept coming around was because she needed someone to talk to she was lonely. Lennie told her how he liked to touch soft things and she convinced Lennie into touching her hair she didn’t realized what was going to occur after the touching but she would oh boy she would be surprised.
“I’m going to kill that bastard” Curley yelled. They just found his wife in the barn with her neck broken and they all knew who did it but Curley wanted to kill him for what Lennie did to his hand. Know body knew why Lennie did what he did but George knew the only reason he would do something like that if the person started to get scared and scream. George knew he had to find Lennie before anyone else did because they wouldn’t give him any mercy. When George found Lennie he was hidden in the spot George told him to go. George hugged Lennie and told him it was going to be okay. Lennie told George to tell him the story of there farm. “We going to live in a big house with a wind mill and we going to have all these animals.” “George tells how I’m going to tend the rabbits and feed them alfalfa. “Yeah Lennie you going to tend the rabbits and feed them alfalfa it’s going to be real nice Boom” that was the sound of George blowing Lennie brains out.
In conclusion brotherhood is riding together and dying together. Even though you’re grown men you’re able to relax and be yourself but if something goes wrong you will kill one of your brothers in a heartbeat.
