Summary:
Of Mice and Men is a classic that dates back to the 1930's. This book is about two friends, George and Lennie, who go from farm to farm in search of new work. George is the brain of the two and he is small of stature and is very kind to most other people. Lennie is the polar opposite of George. He is tremendous in size and very strong. But Lennie’s mind is like that of a young child. This is what is always getting them in trouble and is why they have to keep going from farm to farm in search of work. Although George could make a lot more money on his own, he feels obligated to stay with Lennie and watch over him. After Lennie gets both of them in trouble, they go to a farm near Soledad where they hope to get enough income to buy their own house where they can live off of the land and Lennie can tend the rabbits. At the farm they meet some nice people and they also meet some people like Curly. He is the boss’s son and walks around like he owns everybody. He was a boxer who now hates bigger people because he wishes that he had not been so small. At the end, George gives Lennie the ultimate gift and does something that only a true friend could do.
Review:
This is a classic novel that has been around for many years. The main theme in the book was that of friendship. It showed that even though somebody could be better off by themselves, they decided to stay with a friend not only for their company, but for the good of their friend. This is a very good book and everyone should read it. I would recommend it to anybody that is looking for a novel that is a classic.
