The trust is not there

 In John Steinbeck's heart breaking tale "Of Mice And Men," trust seems to be a major issue. 

 Everyone should have at least one person to lean on in this world, but in the tragic book "Of Mice and Men," many of the people on the farm didn't have that luxury. 

In this story, it seems like there isn't a lot to be said about anybody other than the main characters. It seems like everybody kept to themselves. I feel that they did this because there wasn't mutual trust between anybody on the farm.


An example of this is would be when George, Lennie, and Candy decided to put their money together and buy the farm. They kept this to themselves because they didn't trust anyone else with that information.

Another example of this was when George told Slim about what happened in Weed. He only told Slim that because he trusted him enough to tell him something. You hardly see this happen in the story.
