Of Mice and Men is a novel written by John Steinbeck. It is about two men, George Milton and Lennie Small, who go to work on a ranch in California together. I believe that John Steinbeck sums it up best in the front of the book. He writes “ An intimate portrait of two men who cherish the slim bond between them and the dream they share in a world marred by petty tyranny, misunderstanding, jealousy, and callousness. Clinging to each other in their loneliness and alienation. George and his simple minded friend Lennie dream, as drifters will, of a place to call their own-a couple of acres and a few pigs, chickens, and rabbits back in Hill Country where land is cheap”
George is a small man who’s quick with a dark face and restless eyes. He has sharp and strong features. Small, strong hands, slender arms and a thin bony nose. Lennie is the complete opposite of George. He is a huge man with a shapeless face. Large pale eyes, wide sloping shoulders and he walks heavily dragging his feet. Just as a bear drags his paws.

Lennie follows George step for step just as a child would. It is this that makes me believe that Lennie has some mental issues. The way that Mr. Steinbeck describes Lennie would indicate this.

Lennie got into some trouble there. They were run out of their previous job when Lennie wanted to feel a girl’s dress, and she screamed, accusing Lennie of attempting rape.
They have been left off miles away from the ranch. They are due to start work there, but decide not to go till the next day. It is here where George discovers that Lennie has been carrying a dead mouse in his pocket the whole time....
