Answer:
It was Steinbeck himself that originally remarked that Lennie was meant to represent the "inarticulate and powerful yearning of all men." In the context of the setting, it is clear that Lennie Small is a symbol for the frustration and hopelessness felt by dispossessed men during the Great Depression. Lennie's regressed mental state is a way to show that feeling at its most bare.
Lennie has a yearning for affection and a sense of belonging that manifests itself even in the smallest aspects of his life. When he childishly wishes for ketchup to put on his beans, he says "But I wouldn't eat none, George. I'd leave it all for you." His longing to make George happy is reflective of his desire to belong somewhere and to have a function.
George and Lennie are trapped in extreme poverty as migrant workers. Lennie takes pleasure in hearing George's story about how he'll get to tend the rabbits over and over again, even if deep down both of them know it to be a fantasy.

Answer:
<em>In this situation, it took place in math. Four of us had to make a poster board sort of thing. One of the girls names was Mackenzie, and the other was named Elijah. All three of us were failing math, and that is why the teacher put us together. Elijah and Mackenzie would both constantly argue over who would be the one presenting the poster, when we had not even really started. And, whenever Mackenzie had been doing majority of the math, and Elijah had a different answer, they would argue over and over again. But, the whole time dragged by for me, because I had a headache from all the yelling and arguing. I was quiet nearly the whole few days we worked on the project. I just wrote what they said. I wrote the answer from whoever said it loud enough for me to hear over the yelling and fussing. And, that is what I would have done differently. I would have tried harder to communicate and understand what they were saying.</em>
