Introduction to Essay

     Friendship is something that can last a lifetime, or end tomorrow, but it all depends on who that friendship is with. 
     In Of Mice and Men,  by John Steinbeck. Lennie and George are best friends, they spent most of their left by each others sides, they have so much history from the past that it's hard to leave each other. Lennie has a little something wrong with him and George knows that if he lets him out on his own it wouldn't be the same as if he stayed with him, people would make fun of him and he would most likely be killed or put in jail. Also they are afraid to leave each other because they like the company, they wouldn't want to be by themselves although George does sometimes threaten Lennie that he'll leave him. he really never will.
     After all they've been through in the past they can't just abandon each other, it's to hard.

Although the prices may increase about 10% in the next year, which may outcome in not a lot of people buying bacon, or pork. But not to worry the bacon will still be around.
