Book Review 2-06


I read "Of mice and men". John Steinbeck who is a famous writer wrote this story in 1937.

In Depression era, George who is clever and knowing and Lennie who is mentally deficient and too strong are wandering from one farm to other farms. They hope one day to fulfill their shared dream of settling down on their own piece of land.

George and Lennie arrived at a ranch. They meet some members like them and work harmoniously with colleagues. When they get used to their work, Candy who is one of their colleagues and who is the oldest person in their group offers to pitch in with George and Lennie so they can buy the farm by the end of the month. They feel their heart heap but Curley who is a son of the owner of the farm hates them. One night, Curley does violence to Lennie so Lennie inflicts serious physical injuly on him accidently. Slim who is their leader help them through this difficult time. On Sunday, Lennie is disconsolate about the death of puppy and then the young and attractive wife of Curley came there. He accidently kills her. He is surprised and run away from the farm. George and Candy unearth the body and understand the situation so they try to settle the problem but Curley knows that. Therefore, Curley decides to kill him and he pursues Lennie with guns. George finds Lennie before Curley does. Then, he shoots Lennie.

I thought what a sad story this is.
