In the beginning of this book the author introduces the two main characters George and Lennie. George is basically the leader of the two he takes care of Lennie because he is a little messed up in the head. In the beginning George and Lennie are getting ready to walk over to a farmhouse to find work. George is warning Lennie to stay out of trouble because the last job they had they were fired, because Lennie got a hold of a girl's dress; she freaked out and so did Lennie, so he didn't let go.
             I think the most important event in this book was in the end when Lennie accidentally killed Curley's wife. She asked him to feel her hair; he did. Well, she started to scream and Lennie freaked out. He held on even tighter and covered her mouth with his hand. His hand covered her mouth and nose causing her to suffocate. After Lennie killed Curley's wife, he ran to the spot where George told him to go. When George met him he shot him in the head, because he couldn't handle him anymore and he got in too much trouble for his own good. This surprised me so much because I thought that George would look out for him forever.
             My favorite part of this book was when Slim's dog had puppies and George talked him into giving Lennie one. He was so excited and played with it every waking moment, which wasn't good because it died from him playing with it too much and it being to young. I would like to change the part in the book when George shot Lennie because I wish that George and him would have got that house that they dreamed of and would have lived there together forever! I think that George and I are alike in a lot of ways because I like to be in charge just like he does. If I am not in charge, I get frustrated, and I don't like to listen to what people say.
             I think Lennie's actions in this book were very realistic because I have been around people like him that have problems. I can understand why Lennie...
