What are some examples of direct and indirect characterizations of George and Lennie in Of Mice and Men?John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men

Most authors use indirect
characterization which
includes

• physical
  descriptions

"The first man was
smalland quick, dark of face, with restless eyes and sharp, strong features.  Every part
of him was defined:  small, strong hands, slender arms, a thin and bony nose.  Behind
him walked his opposite, a huge man, shapeless of face, with large, pale eyes, with
wide, sloping shoulders; and he walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a
bear drags his paws.  His arms did not swing at his sides, but hung
loosely."

• characters'
  actions

His huge companion
dropped his blankets and flung himself down and drank from the surface of the green
pool; drank with long gulps, snorting into the water like a horse.  The small man
stepped nervously beside
him.

• characters' thoughts,
  feelings, and speeches

"'Guys
like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys n the world.  They got no family. 
They don't belong no place....With us, it ain't like that. We got a future."
[George]

"For the first time Lennie became conscious of the
outside. He crounched down in the hay and listened.  'I done a real bad thing,' he said.
'I shouldn't had did that.  George'll be mad. An'...he said...an'hide in the brush till
he come....'"

• the comments and
  reactions of other
  characters

"Crooks interrupted
brutally. 'You guys is just kiddin' yourself.  You'll talk about it a hell of a lot, but
you son't get no land.  You'll be a swamper here till they take you out in a box.  Hell,
I seen too many guys.  Lennie here'll quit an' be on the road in two, three, weeks. 
Seems like ever' guy got land in his
head.'"

• Direct
  characterization occurs with statements by the author, giving his/her
  opinion of the character(s). [e.g. Steinbeck writes that Slim has "God-like
  eyes."]

Steinbeck writes that Lennie drags
his feet the way "a bear drags his paws."
