Violence In John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

Of Mice and Men, a book about two men named George and Lennie who have a dream to be very successful farmers who want own land and work for themselves however, this has been proven difficult due to Lennie’s intellectual disability. While this may sound perfectly fine and prove to be a great learning experience about what life was like in the 1930s during the great depression although people across the globe have banned and challenged this book because of its bulger language, racist ideas, and intense violence.
The first major point why Of Mice and Men has been banned and challenged at several schools is because of the bulger language that presents itself over and over in the book. Of Mice and Men says only one curse word (Bastard ) Pg. 4.
