if you did read it...to what animal would you compare George to?
what is the meaning of the following phrase: "An' live off the fatta the lan'"( it is in the book)?
is the Salinas River in north Soledad?

The animal would be a shepherd dog, faithful to and careful of its charge, in this instance Lenny, but able to kill when necessary.
"An' live off the fatta the lan" is Lenny's version of what George has told him about owning their own little place, with good earth for growing things so that they can live off the fat of the land.
The Salinas River does flow 3 miles north of Soledad.

It is a really good book, and it is about survival based among farmers, and how women are more adaptable than men are.

To live off the fat of the land means to let the land support you with its riches. It would apply to farming, hunting, fishing, etc.
