BOOK REPORT

Of Mice and Men was a story about 2 friends that are like family. The two friends are George and Lennie. George is small and quick but always stands up for Lennie and Lennie is a man of tremendous size and has a mind of a young child. Lennie has always had the dream of owning a rabbit farm. So Lennie and George got a job on a farm. The bosses son was Curley. Curley's wife was always trying to flirt with the other workers and she was flirting with Lennie but George told him not to talk to her because she was going to get him in trouble. Then one-day Curley's wife started to flirt with Lennie in a barn but he got mad and snap her neck, killing her. When Curley found out that Lennie killed his wife he wanted Lennie dead. Before Curley had the chance to kill Lennie George got to him and made sure he was turned around thinking about the rabbit farm he wanted and then he shot him in the head.

The theme for this novel is u can't protect people sometimes even when u had to.

I believe that John wakes up early in the morning and eat the  " bacon and the hams" and catch salmon and smoke them (page.57). I also believe that he is from the south because he has the southern accent like in this book he said: "you damn right I could"(page 57) which reminded me of a southern accent. I also observed that he might live at Salinas River by the way he describes the river in such a descriptive way like when he said: "the Salinas River drops in close to the hillside bank and runs deep and green" (page 1).

the climax of the story would have to be when Lennie killed Curley's wife because that's when the story turns from Lennie being the little kid to him being a killer. that's why Lennie fate was to die at the end but it had to be George so when Lennie dies the last thing he thought was about his most favorite thing in the world his rabbits. The irony in the story was when Lennie was told that Curley's wife was going to get him in trouble because at the end Curley's wife was the one that was in trouble.
