What would you include in Justice?

My definition of justice is having things be fair. This is important because things like Hammurabi's Code were too harsh. Also every situation is different so if you have one set of laws they might be too intense for the situation. Having things be fair might not make people happy but they can't really complain if things are sorted out equally. Having things be fair is my definition of justice.

Is Lennie a burden on George?

Lennie is kind of a burden on George. Since George and Lennie travel together if one of them gets fired both of them leave. Lennie gets in trouble a lot so George ends up leaving jobs. He is not a burden because he can do a lot more work then most people so since George doesn't work as much Lennie makes up for it.
