sacrifice

In Of Mice and Men George sacrifices a lot to help out Lennie. I have never had to sacrifice as much as George did. However, I have had to make sacrifices to help a loved one. A few years ago my mom had to have surgery. I had to do pretty much everything around the house. I had to clean, do all the laundry, make food, get my mom something whenever she needed it, and help her get around. I didn't mind so much but I really didn't want to do all that either. Luckily it was only for a few weeks, George had to make sacrifices ever since Lennie's aunt died.

Everybody makes sacrifices for their loved ones once in awhile. Some people would say that there is no limit for how far you should go when sacrificing. I'd have to disagree with this. I believe that there is a certain point where you are sacrificing too much. If your entire life revolves around helping this one person then it might be too much. Like if you are sacrificing the chance to have a spouse and kids, or have friends, or keep a job then you may be sacrificing too much. George sacrifices a lot for Lennie. He plans pretty much plans on taking care of him for the rest of his life. He planned to buy a house just for him and Lennie. He was always losing jobs because of Lennie and couldn't go to the whore house because he was saving for the house and he couldn't meet a girl to marry because he always had to watch Lennie and make sure he wasn't getting in any trouble.
