  Arguement: We must understand that innocence, or innocent people cannot be evil or have any true hatred. They may be hatefull or do evil things, but such acts are not under their control, nor would they even be conceived wrong by the innocent.
  
  Claim: In or Mice and Men Lennie is an example of an innocent man. He is not aware that what he does is wrong, even when he kills. Thus we cannot blame him for his actions, in fact if anyone is to be blamed it would have to be those around him who are 'role models,' providing a standard that Lennie believes he should follow.
  
  Evidence: "Lennie, although slow, has no malice. Even when he is under physical attack from Curley, he restrains himself until George orders him to take action. Lennie, however, stricken by fear, loses control and cannot let go of his attacker."
