In the book “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck, the author uses his words to show sympathetic and a dispassionate attitude about life through the ways of realism and naturalism. Few miles south of Soledad, the Salinas River drops in close to the hillside bank and runs deep and green. The water is warm too, for it has slipped twinkling over the yellow sands in the sunlight before reaching the narrow pool. On one side of the river the golden foothill slopes curve up to the strong and rocky Gabilan Mountains, but on the valley side the water is lined with trees—.Rabbits come out of the bush to sit on the sand in the evening, and the damp flats are covered with the night tracks of ‘coons, and with the spread pads of dogs from the ranches, …show more content…
