  Argument: We know that mentally ill people are innocent bacause of the relationships we have with them. Although we may get frustrated it is difficult to get truly mad at someone who doesn't know that what they do is wrong.
  
  Claim: Despite the fact that George gets in trouble a lot because of Lennie he still treats him like a brother and takes care of him. This is because of Lenny's childlike innocence; George cannot bring himself to dislike someone who honestly doesn't know that what he is doing is wrong.
  
  Evidence: "Brusque, friendless George Milton has been taking care of big, strong, slow-witted Lenny Small for so long that each has become as brother to the other. Lenny's great physical strength, coupled with his childlike innocence, has gotten him into trouble in the past. George has always been quick to save him..."

  "George needs Lenny as friend, family, and devoted partner." (Recommended Reading: 500 Classics Reviewed)
  
  Similar to relationships involving toddlers and babies; We want to get mad at them but we cannnot because we know they did not mean it.
