Of mice and men - the book


In school for the last couple of weeks we have been reading the short novel «Of mice and men » by John Steinbeck. Its about two friends – quick-witted George and simple-minded Lennie. They are both moving from ranch to ranch and looking for work. They are very good friends. They are dreaming that they someday will own their own place. This dream is what keeps them going and keeps them togheter.when Lennie loses control of his bruth strenght, their hopes turn into hopelessness.
This novel gives us a sight in the life to the rancheworkers in the 1930s. It shows us two friends struggle between good and evil.

Now I have read about 50 pages, where George and Lennie are beginning to work on the ranch. I like the book so far, its truly based on the reality in the 1930s, and I like that. I think its a interesting book. It`s about a strong friendship and a big dream they both share.
