Of Mice and Men...?

Question

Okay, so, here is the prompt I'm working with:
Slim is the most understanding and sensitive of Steinbecks's.
I need an example to prove this for part of my essay, because I've run out of ideas. Thank you!

"Slim - A highly skilled mule driver and the acknowledged “prince” of the ranch, Slim is the only character who seems to be at peace with himself. The other characters often look to Slim for advice. For instance, only after Slim agrees that Candy should put his decrepit dog out of its misery, does the old man agree to let Carlson shoot it. A quiet, insightful man, Slim alone understands the nature of the bond between George and Lennie, and comforts George at the novel’s tragic ending."
I hope that helps. :-) (oh, and don't forget to cite specific examples from the text!)
