Of Mice and Men
In the beginning of the story, two men named George Milton and Lennie Small are trying to make their way to a small ranch in Salinas Valley, California. George is the leader of their two-man group, despite Lennie's large size. George is filled with determination and confidence while Lennie is a simple man with a big heart. Up north, they had recently been run out of a town called Weed because of Lennie. First of all, Lennie is not very smart, and becomes frightened and confused easily. Also, he enjoys petting animals and feeling things that grab his attention. One night in Weed, Lennie and George had gone to a pool hall. Lennie saw a girl wearing a bright red dress. He grabbed on to the sleeve of her dress. The girl became scared and screamed and this frightened Lennie. He did not know what to do so he held on to the dress tighter. The next day, George found out that the girl went to the police and pressed charges against Lennie. The police were all over town looking for him. George and Lennie escaped by hiding in an irrigation ditch until it was nighttime and leaving town. After that, they hitchhiked all the way to Salinas Valley, California. The next day they arrived at their destination,
Suddenly, George screamed, "get him". I liked this book because it was very concise and to the point. He looked to George for help while Curley continued to hurt him. A few minutes later, someone else walked into the bunk. Carlson said that the dog was old, sick and miserable and that ending its suffering would be the best thing to do for the dog. Then she says that her hair is soft and asks Lennie if he wants to feel it. She would not be quiet and Lennie got afraid that if George catches him with her he will be mad. He did not know what to do so he held on to the dress tighter. It had everything you needed to know in it and nothing you didn't. George is trying to keep Lennie from getting into trouble again, so when they meet Curley's flirtatious wife, George tells Lennie never to talk to her. First of all, Lennie is not very smart, and becomes frightened and confused easily. Then he asked George to repeat their dream as he often did. George hesitated until he heard how much money Candy had saved up and then he agreed that he could be included in their dream. I liked him because even though George yelled at him a lot and got mad whenever he did anything bad, he still loved George and always did what he said and never disobeyed him. He aimed it at the back of Lennie's head and pulled the trigger.
