Most migrant workers do not work or travel together. LIke George describes the average migrant worker they are lonely mean men. George took over the care of Lennie after Lennie’s aunt died. EVer since hey travel together.

The story behind why Lennie and George travel together is because after Lennie’s Aunt Clara died, he just kind of followed what George did. They are not typical migrant workers because they travel together.

No they are not like most migrant workers because most migrant workers travel alone. George and Lennie travel together, that is why Slim was so interested in them

Comment by cghirohito

They are not typical migrant workers becuase they travel together. The story behind why George & Lennie travle together is that George took care of Lennie after his Aunt Clara died & George made sure Lennie did not do any this his Aunt would not like & Lennie jsut follwed George around.

Lennie and George used to live in the same town together and work together and once Lennie’s aunt Clara passed away George took Lennie under his wing and took care of him. The two became good friends and always worked together. This is why the two men are not like normal migrant workers, instead of traveling alone they stay together.

George and Lennie travel together because George told Lennie’s Aunt Claire that he would take care of him. No they are not like normal migrant works because they travel together.

Comment by jktubman

George and Lennie are not typical migrant workers because they travel together because George became friends with Lennie while he was at Aunt Clara’s and they just became friends and started traveling together.

Comment by seanfl

George and Lennie are not typical migrant workers because migrant workers are usually indepedent and Lennie and George travel together. The reason why they travel together is because George is taking care of Lennie after his aunt died.

Comment by emearhart

They grew up in the same town when they were young and when Lennie’s Aunt Clara died, George took care of him. They are different from the rest of the migrant workers because they travel together and most migrant workers travel alone.

Comment by laurenxxs

They are not normal migrant workers. Lennie and George were friends when they were younger and George promised Lennies aunt Clara that he would take care of him.

Comment by fstarr

George and Lennie traveled togeather because when Lennies aunt Clara was getting sick George told her that he would take care of him. I think thast they arent typical migrent workers because they are traveling togeather and usually they dont.

Comment by summers27

The story behind why Lennie and George tavel together is that they are best friends and George has to take care of Lennie because he is slow. They also are not migrant workers because they ussally work at one place they just had to leave that place.

Comment by derrty

The story is that George was friends with Lennie’s Aunt and thats who was taking care of him. And when Lennie’s Aunt died George said that he would take care of Lennie. And ever since then they have been together. No their not typical migrant workers because usually they travel alone and George and Lennie travel together.

Comment by knwilliam

George knew Lennies aunt and she was taking care of him and whn she passed he started to take care of him.

Comment by evanhouty

Most migrant worker work, or travel alone. George had described a migrant worker and he described them as being lonley mean men that travel alone.

Comment by trayyd

George and Lennie are not the typical workers because most migrant workers travel alone and George and Lennie stay together no matter what happens.

Comment by ice165

George and Lennie are not typical migrant workers because they travel together. Most migrant workers are concerned only about themselves and the paycheck that is coming that week. George and Lennie however travel together, care about each other and need each other.

Comment by wamanda

George and Lennie travel togeather because there friends and aren’t typical migrant workers because they travel with a partner, and usually they travel alone.

Comment by jessnick1992

George and Lennie travel together because George and Lennie are friends for life.

Comment by clgarland

Most migrant workers travel alone, but George and Lennie have each other. And what ‘wamanda’ said i agree with 100%

Comment by rachypachy

When Lennie’s aunt Clara died Lennie had noone except George so he just follows him instead of going alone like other migrant workers.
