Favorite Character

My favorite character in Of Mice and Men is probably Candy.  Candy was old and I felt really bad that he wouldn’t be in the working business much longer and that he had a missing hand.  But he didn’t start any trouble and was really sincere about his work.  Although he couldn’t do much for the ranch, whatever he could do he did right and hard.  Candy was the nice one when George and Lennie first arrived at the ranch.  He showed them around and told them who was who and what to look out for.  He didn’t keep secrets from them when he could’ve kept them from them in the beginning about the people living and working at the ranch.  He was in the plan with the dream of a new ranch and was willing to pay the money he worked hard to earn and the money he would earn for the next month.  I just thought Candy was a nice and sincere old man.  He didn’t start fights or arguments and just went with the flow.  Given he wasn’t happy with his life especially when Carlson killed his dog but he didn’t complain.  He just took it n and moved on.
