economic decline poverty and racism
though people all over the US were
looking for work the story takes place
in Soledad California and more
specifically around a ranch near the
Salinas River since many people felt
alone and were distrustful of others
friendships were hard to come by what
state you gotten this guy it take any
pay away from them plus I I never see
one guy go to so much trouble for
another guy I just like to know what
your percentage is
seven plot narrated by a third person of
mice and men tells the story of two
migrant ranch workers named George and
Lennie while trying to find work they
develop a close friendship and dream of
one day owning their own land where
Lennie can raise rabbits
let’s have different color rabbits
George sure in addition to making enough
money to live George needs to protect
and take care of Lennie I told his old
lady I take care of him he got kicked in
a head by a horse when he was a kid he
just ain’t bright while working in
Soledad for the father of a man named
curly they make plans to buy a farm with
a Ranch Hand named candy how much they
want for a place like I can get 600

together and we’re gonna get a little
house a couple of acres a car chickens
pigs and rabbits go on George tell about
the rabbits in the cages and the rain in
the winter and the stove and the cream
in the nooks I think he can hardly cut
it with a knife
he’s usually cautious with Lennie
because he knows that his friend doesn’t
understand all that he should and that
he can’t always control his strength
just wanted to touch that girl’s dress
because it looks so nice and soft just
wanted to pet it like was a bird or a
rabbit and what you hold on for when she
started yelling her head off
wine shallot gold but he’s also hopeful
responsible and idealistic if I was
frightened I was even a little bit smart
I’d be having a place of my own they
bringing in my own Crocs instead of
doing all the work
and not getting what comes up out of the
ground George demonstrates his
compassionate side when he shoots Lennie
to save him from the angry mob I ain’t
gonna let him hurt number five
Lennie small both ends the same oh why
is both ends the same George despite
being a big innocent man Lennie is slow
minded and can’t control his own
strength

things has gotten him into trouble he
becomes completely dependent on his best
friend and protector George after Lennie

becomes the target of the ranch hands
but George shoots him before he can meet
his cruel death number four
other characters candy Curley and slim
candy is an old one-handed handyman who
offers to chip in with George and Lennie

hands on the farm and drives the mule
team he gives Lennie a puppy and is the
only worker that Curley actually values
as the son of the ranch’s owner Curley
is aggressive and jealous because of his
flirtatious wife why do you keep
pestering her he ain’t doing no harm
how do I know that his confrontational
nature leads to a fight with Lennie and
a broken hand
number three values and themes the
novellas main theme is friendship George
and Lennie worked together share the
same dreams and are loyal to one another

it’s against race sex or mental capacity
I wasn’t kicked in the head with no more
story damn good thing if he was safe
everybody has a lot of trouble in
addition it looks at the themes of
independence justice and isolation with
the related theme of loneliness being
