 Why This Book has Value: of mice and men is one of the best books i have read , it about two men that stick together their whole life but ends in tragedy when George shoots Lennie all because he finally realized that Lennie will never stay out of trouble after Lennie accidentally kills curly s wife the setting takes place back in the old days when they had cow boys and saloons and horses instead of cars. Also back in these days they didn't know there was a such thing of autistic people . that's what i think Lennie was , he was special he didn't quite understand things , George just thought he was kind of stupid witch is interesting because now a days people know automatically when their child is special because of all the new technology but yet we still cant fix it. What i really enjoyed about this book other then the story is the slang the old sayings they used or just the way they talked with a southern accent almost like instead of saying just it says jes and instead of you it says ya. i think what really makes the book is Lennie and George always sticking together . no matter what no matter how much trouble Lennie gets in George never leaves him because he knows Lennie cant survive with out him . George and Lennie have a dream that they will get a little piece of land and Lennie will tend the rabbits because he loves soft things candy is also apart of this plan because he is the one who is chipping in most of the money but only has one hand so he knows the ranch wont keep him around for much longer so he goes with Georges plan to help buy a piece of land so candy can finally relax. but it all falls threw when curly s wife tries to come on to Lennie by letting him touch her hair but his fingers get caught in it she screams he cover he mouth to stop her from screaming and accidentally kills her so him and George have to run again resulting in George killing Lennie.
