About Lennie and the mental state of a Gentle Giant
In her talk, Ms. Jegede explains of the remarkable abilities of her two autistic brothers. She tells about their absolute innocence and intelligence despite their inability to communicate and understand things in the same way as others. Her acceptance and basic understanding beyond the shown effects relates to how George is so protective over Lennie. Even though George doesn't have a full understanding of why Lennie is different he understands his absolute innocence and that his strength can be used to do hard work and make good money. Its only the fact that others who don't know his true strength and that Lennie doesn't know his own strength that people get scared of what they don't understand and George has to do what he feels is best to protect Lennie.
