OF MICE AND MEN
Pg.1-41 (40 pages)
George Milton and Lennie Small, one small but quick-witted and the other big but not bright, have arrived at their new workplace(ranch) and is ready to work and earn money to buy their “dream place.”
In the text of the first two chapters, the author portrayed almost all the characters that appeared with great details of appearance, way of speech, and action.

The word “morosely” in chapter 2, page 26 caught my attention because I remember having it as a vocabulary during school. Although in class we learned the word in the adjective form, “morose”, which means “sullen and ill-tempered”, I was able to recognize the adverb and understand the meaning of the word. (52
