The mentally retarded Lenny often gets into trouble. Every time he gets into trouble, his good friend George takes him on the run and leads a wandering life.
They came to a farm again, worked odd jobs here, and settled down. Lenny loves furry pets and his dream is to raise a litter of rabbits. After finally settling in on the new farm, Lenny got into trouble again. This time, the entire farm is after him. Good friend George always hoped that Lennie could escape far away, but in the end he was discovered by everyone...
The strangers wandering around the earth have no home and no one cares about them, but they all have a land of their own in their hearts, an unreachable dream.

"Of Mice and Men" is a book that made me deeply feel the warmth and fragility of human nature, the depth and helplessness of friendship. It's like a glass of strong wine. It's bitter and hard to swallow when you first taste it, but after you taste it carefully, you can feel the mellowness and depth of it.
The protagonists of the story, George and Lennie, are like a pair of brothers who depend on each other for life. Although Lennie is simple-minded, his innocence and kindness are touching. And George, although in the eyes of outsiders he is a bit cold and cruel, in fact he has a deep love for Lennie hidden deep in his heart.
The two of them experienced all the hardships of life together and struggled to survive together. In this process, they support each other and grow together. Their friendship is deep, but also full of helplessness and regret. Because they know that no matter how hard they try, they cannot escape the shackles of fate and the oppression of society.
The plot in the book made me feel the impermanence and cruelty of life. Especially the heartbreaking ending at the end made me unable to let it go for a long time. Lennie accidentally kills the farmer's wife, and George has to end his life himself in order to protect him. At that moment, I seemed to see the highest realm of friendship, and also felt the fragility and powerlessness of human nature.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo to to to..., I won't spoil it, you can go and see it yourself hahahahahahahahahaha it's very sweet! Very sweet! What a great day! The more we go, the more hope we have! Protagonists, don't worry, guys, they have completely survived the Great Depression and the World War, and they are living a healthy life, really happy!
The story is simple, realistic, helpless, and cruel, about a group of migrant workers with dreams. Their dreams are destroyed by reality time and time again. Hope and despair are constantly intertwined, filling the living conditions of the lower-class migrant workers.
Each character is vivid and the complexity of human nature is displayed one by one. George, who understands human nature but cannot control his destiny and bears responsibility; Lenny, the eldest child who is unable to control his infinite power and is full of cunning curiosity; Candy, who is happy-go-lucky and constantly compromising, and his old dog: the violent and jealous Corey; Corey's coquettish wife who dreams of being an actor; Slim, a diligent and capable cowboy who longs for trust; Crooks, who has a strong self-esteem and has to succumb to reality.
"Sometimes it happens like this. At a certain moment, time stops, lingers, and continues, far longer than a moment. The sound stops, the movement pauses, far, far longer than the length of a moment."
The story takes place during the Great Depression in the United States. During this period, human life was like that of a mouse. It also shows that the protagonist's dream is absolutely impossible to realize. Ryan is really upset. I really hope that the two of them have a good ending. They can feed rabbits in their own manor and farm to support themselves [face covering]
It's such a pity that the future of three people was shattered with one shot. It would be great if the big man was a normal and kind-hearted person, but he often made mistakes inadvertently, leading to such a tragic ending. Perhaps it was not tragic. Death was also a new life for the core source of true kindness in his heart. After all, in that era of depression, chaos and unfairness, "he" was a disease. It's a pity that the two brothers ended in tragedy. Their ideals were right in front of them, but tragedy wiped out everything.
Top cool article, Lenny and George finally bought a piece of land and lived happily.
Among Mice and Men, dream and reality. In the dream, we have our own farm and can harvest our own wheat. We don't have to harvest wheat that does not belong to us. In reality, we are just mice trying to survive.
In Of Mice and Men, the line "If I could just walk around with you like this, with no one around, no work to do, no one to cause trouble—just the two of us, looking around" is impressive and reveals the core of the story. Steinbeck takes us into the lower class world of the United States during the Great Depression. The friendship between Lennie and George blooms and withers in the cruel reality. It deeply reflects human nature and social issues and is worth reading.
Oh my gosh, it's really great. I finally understand why it was once a banned book. In fact, there is a surprise at the end, but it's still quite realistic, isn't it?
This book made me feel the power of friendship. The story of Lennie and George reminded me of how I relate to my friends and how we support and help each other. I like the description of the natural environment in the book, which makes me feel like I am by that beautiful river. The displaced people in the book make me appreciate my current life even more. I think this is a very in-depth book and worth reading.
The writing is great, and I still had a lot of fun reading it, but I didn't understand it a little, which didn't stop me from reading it a second time at all!
The first kindness, the first dream, the first enthusiasm are all eventually exterminated by your own hands after you are completely assimilated by the "status quo", just because "he" hinders or even hurts your future. . .
Cruel... What is cruel is not the book, but fate; it is not fate, but the dark society at that time...
