His arms ... happily” (3). Significance: The fact that Lennie does not cup his hands for a drink, he without thinking, plunges his entire head into the water leads to support to the idea of a slightly slow, child-like, innocent man. The lack of looking if the water was running shows Lennie’s position as a character with little or no common sense. He just does things less carefully than he should, though ... he cannot remember, even though he wants to shows that he is completely innocent and really wants to please George. The rabbits seem to be the only thing that he can remember, which signifies his child-like mind set, since grown-up men usually don’t thing solely about rabbits. 5.
