Of Mice and Men

Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck,(118 pages) is an extremely unnerving novel that probably cannot be recomended to anyone (especially by me). It is about two men, Lenny and George, that are good friends and travel together. Lenny is very strong, rather dumb at times, and loves petting things that are soft or feel good, and George is the smarter of the two and is alaways taking care of Lenny, even when Lenny does something he shouldn't. Like an incident that happened in Weed: they were working and there was a woman that had a fluffy, red dress and so Lenny went to touch it, then she started to scream and Lenny held on and finally he let go and ran away, but the woman said that Lenny had hurt her. So George and Lenny hid in a sewage ditch for the rest of the day and when night came, they got out as fast as possible. So they get a job as barly-bucking farmhands. Thier new boss has a son named Curly, who has a wife. Both Curly and his wife are pretty snobby characters, and when Curly's wife comes into the barn, Lenny is in there. She and Lenny talk to each other and she brings up the topic of soft items... I don't want to reveal what happens. But if you want me to tell you in person, Ms. Ullner, I would be happy to do that. It also uses some slang, dialect, and very 'Bad words' in it.
