Why This Book has Value:
I think that this book has value because it describes the time period in which they were in very accurately. Also, I feel like the book has a very powerful theme, which is to follow your dreams. For example, George and Lennie just wanted to buy a house on the farm with big fields, animals, and crops. Candy wanted to follow along and help with the farming. Lennie was most dedicated as to what he wanted, and that was to tend the rabbits. Curley's wife talks about how she made the biggest mistake of her life marrying Curley, because what she really wanted to do was to be an actress, which are the reasons leading me to believe that the theme of the book is to "follow your dreams." As well as that, it contains a gripping plot that wants you to keep reading more. I always would want to figure out what trouble Lennie would get into next, or what obstacles they would face, and to top it off I found the ending to be very unexpected, therefore, the reason this book has value.
I agree. I think the book also shows how important the bond between Lennie and George. In the depression ridden times many people didn't have any reason to keep going. But Lennie always got George and George always got Lennie.
