Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

George is described as 'small and quick'. This is in contrast to Lennie who is 'big and slow'. George is clever but quick to anger. Lennie is not clever and is slow to lose his temper.The first, George, is small, wiry, and sharp-featured, while his companion, Lennie, is large and awkward.They are both dressed in denim, farmhand attire. As they reach a clearing, Lennie stops to drink from the river, and George warns him not to drink too much or he will get sick, as he did the night before.
