Similarities Between John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men
This quotation allows the reader to see that, while being poor might have been quiet difficult, being lonely was a worse situation to be stuck in. Steinbeck seemed say, that Lennie and George’s case was different than most; they both had someone who genuinely cared for them, who looked after them, and someone to talk to when needed the most. It was easier to handle being a ranch-hand when there was someone always there to help you out. They were a small family, but a family nonetheless. This quote allows the reader to see how lucky they felt to have each other.

    The book, Of Mice and Men, is one that invokes thought in the reader. Although the book is well written, the movie does not come close to those same standards. After reading the book, then watchisng the movie, I saw some major differences as well as some insignificant differences. However, there were a few that were very obvious. One glaring difference that I saw involved the character simply known as "Curley's wife". One difference transpired during a scene that greatly influenced what I thought of her. However, in the movie, this scene never took place. This difference drastically altered my opinion of Curley's wife.…

    Of Mice and Men is a novel set on a ranch in the Salinas Valley in California during the Great Depression of the 1930s. It was the first work to bring John Steinbeck national recognition as a writer. The title suggests that the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry, a reference to Robert Burns's poem "To a Mouse." Of Mice and Men was selected for the Book of the Month Club before it was officially published, an honour that encouraged 117,000 copies of the novel to be sold before its official publication on February 25, 1937.…

Pondering the massive punishment he would receive for the crimes he had just committed, Lennie rushed through the foggy forest to the thick brush, where George would hopefully rendezvous.

    The way the book’s literature was just a manner to express how people in the 1930's lived. It’s a way to learn about a part of history. Foul words were used ,and the author showed the setting during the time period in that way. People wouldn't be learning the truth if parts and details were left out. Everyone needs to learn to face the fact that our country wasn’t and isn’t perfect. That everything that occurred was wrong. Every type of speech can be used in the right and correct situation. Others can understand how terrible it was for women at the time. While also seeing how advanced the world has become with the knowledge there is today. It teaches important lessons that should be followed in our lives.…
