Summary: Of Mice And Men
Review: John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men is a very great book about two men who is looking fore work. Lennie is big and strong as a bull, but not so smart. He is like a child. But George is thin and smal, and he is the brain. The movie of mice and men is like the book, if you have read the book then you must see the movie. George have to watch Lennie all the time, because he foregets allways what George says. But he don`t foreget that they dream to buy a litle house and a farm with animals. That Lennie is going to take care of the rabbits. But Lennie gets in trouble all the time, and thats not good. In there new jobs Lennie killed a woman and he runs away, and George have to shoot him in the head. And thats the end of the story. The end of the story was not so good, thats because Lennie gets killed. He was a great worker, but he was getting in trouble all the time. Thats is the reason George shoot him i`ll think.

Summary: Of Mice and Men opoinion
Review: "Of Mice and Men" is a tremendous book. It is a very understanding novel that really grabs you. Goerge is the main character. He is a strong-willed honest man. He has been lifelong friends with a "slow minded" man named Lennie. They both just lost thier jobs because of Lennie's bad behavior. They have recieved new jobs and George is vigorously trying to keep Lennie under control in order to keep thier new jobs.You can really feel George's emotions when trying helplessly to keep Lennie in order. The Plot of the book is fantastic because it has many unexpected twists and turns. I would recommend this book to everyone.

Summary: True Friendship
Review: This book has brought to light troubles I've had in past relationships with old friends. No, im not saying my friends are behemoth retards, but I now realize that true friendship never lasts. George and Lenny are the prime example of best friends, and their relationship is based on total reliance of one another. "Of Mice and Men" is an amazing story and anyone who hasnt already read it, must. Matthew Sinderbrand

Summary: Classic story of Man's Inhumanity to Man
Review: Set in the Depression Era rural South, 2 men, George (smart but not strong) and Lenny (strong but not smart) are searching the countryside for their dream: a little farm that will support them and bring them happiness. They find work as farm hands but encounter prejudice (Lenny is considered a "dummy") and cruelty by a sadistic boss. When Lenny accidentally kills the boss's beautiful wife, George tells the upset Lenny that everything will be ok, to quickly go to their "secret place". The ending is heartbreaking. After reading "Of Mice And Men" one wonders about WHY people see the need to look down on less fortunate ones, even tormenting them for "not fitting in". In reality it is the bullies who are the misfits. Starved for attention and the need for superiority destroys their human features and makes them more like animals. This book tells us to expell hate from our hearts. I recommend this book to students age 14 and up. This book can be turned into a wonderful stage play, requiring minimal sets. There is also a vintage movie version which I can recommend. As always, the book is the best of all "media". Highly recommended.*****

Summary: the american dream
Review: the story of two young men George and Lennie,who travel together and share the same dream of being their own bosses and own a ranch which is the american dream.
The story takes place at the Salinas river banks and at a ranch in California.
It's prety good except for its lenght and sort of tragedy
you should read it do to its moral lessons.
one of the major themes is loneliness
overall a good book

Summary: Sad and heart-wrenching, yet true
Review: This is a short fable about men trying to reach the American Dream but not being able to reach it. Lennie is a retarded man who follows and trusts his friend George more than anyone else. Lennie is child-like and does not know his own strength. He likes to pet mice but always seems to accidentally kill them. He can't remember much but shares a dream with George to get a small amount of land in which Lennie would be able to tend the rabbits. Lennie has a fascination with soft things, and this always gets him in trouble. The last time they were out of work was because Lennie was holding on to a woman's dress because he thought it was pretty and felt good and would not let go. People thought he had tried to rape her and they had to flee. Candy, who they meet at the ranch they are now working at, is receiving money ($350) because he lost his hand working on the ranch. Candy and George plan to combine money earned on the ranch in order to buy the land together. Candy has an ancient dog that everyone hates because it smells, and Calson shoots if for him because he says that it hurts the dog to live. This symbolizes that life is over once someone does not have a purpose. Slim's dog has puppies and Lennie goes to see them everyday. He accidentally kills one when stroking it too hard. The story is very sad and the ending made me cry. It was kind of like Lennie in Old Yeller. It's a very sad story, but its morals are true to life.

Summary: He Is The Master!
Review: While I can't stand it when writer's use the Lord's name in vain, I think John Steinbeck was without a doubt one of the greatest writers ever. He has the unique ability to say a LOT with a small amount of words in one paragraph, and in the very next paragragh say a little with a LOT of words. This novel should be read by anyone wanting to master the craft of writing. Steinbeck delivers every time. I can't think of any bad writing he has done...Can you? God Bless! www.therunninggirl.com
