How To Write A Book Report Of Mice And Men

Of Mice And Men was written by John Steinbeck in 1929 during the great depression, before WWII had started. It stars two poor, working class men, Lennie and George and they struggle to get by. The men move from farm to farm in search of work. Lennie is aged 30, but has a special needs condition that gives him the maturity and mindset of a six-year-old. He is mentally just not there but he's strong as an ox. George is his cousin and even though he is fairly intelligent and could be better off, he chooses to help lennie out because he promised his aunt he would watch him. Their only dream is to buy a little house and have about a acer of their own for it to sit on. But before they can get one they have to make enough money.

The challenges that they face are amazing because it's so easy to imagine. They went threw things that a person would probably go through like having to walk everywhere, sleep outside with only a fire keeping you warm, living off limited food and that's why it's so realistic. I did not talk about the end of the book because didn't want to spoil it but it was the perfect way to end it. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes to adventures, comedy or just a great
