summary
John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" is a classic tale of two migrant workers, George and Lennie, who dream of settling down on a farm of their own. But their plans are jeopardized when Lennie's love of all things soft and fluffy, including mice, rabbits, and a neighbor's dress, causes trouble for the men and they are forced to flee. The novel is a quick read, but it packs a powerful punch with its examination of loneliness, friendship, and the American Dream. Steinbeck captures the essence of life during the Great Depression, bringing the reader into the world of these two men and their struggles to survive. Although the ending is tragic, Steinbeck's vivid descriptions and memorable characters make this book a must-read for anyone who enjoys insightful and poignant literature.
