Does the story end the way you expected it to? As I was finishing each chapter, I was predicting what the next chapter would be about, my predictions weren't so similar to the book.

But it wasn't like that, Lennie stayed with his job.

Well I thought the same thing about The Call of the Wild and Of Mice and Men. There were no parallels with these books as far as I could see. Then my teacher told us about the American Dream and I realized that Buck, George, and Lennie had a dream. That’s one of the greatest things about life: trying to achieve your own personal goal or dream--but there is also a good chance that you won’t achieve your dream.

In the novella, Of Mice and Men, the author John Steinbeck illustrates a ranch in the 1930’s during the great depression where those who fit into mainstream society run the show, and those deemed “outcasts” are rendered useless. Steinbeck depicts characters with setbacks that diminish their value in the eyes of society, and contrasts them to characters that have no difficulties conforming to the norm. Crooks, being a black man isolated by his race, and Candy, a elderly man limited by his age and missing limb are examples of Steinbeck characters that experience hardships because of the differences.

They also solve things together and even thought there might be a smarter person in the friendship at the end of the day if they but there ideas together they come up with something better just because they worked together,which is something you cant do if your by yourself. The risks that come with this id that they might end up get in into a heated argument
