Of Mice and Men

     The book "Of Mice and Men" is a well written novel from the early 1900's, it is about two hardworking men that get into trouble and are trying to recover while working on a ranch. The two men, George and Lennie, have been traveling around with each other for a good amount of time and doing labor for money. It has become clear to George that Lennie has some mental disabilities, but that doesn't stop them from getting work and sticking with each other. George and Lennie aren't like all of the average workers though, because they have their own dreams of moving on to having their own land and farm, unlike most of the laborers. I feel that this original novel, written by John Steinbeck, is a great expression of what life was like in that period of time. This would be a good book for those interested in 20th century history.
