The movie Of Mice and Men is one of a classic American Literature, written by John Steinbeck during The Great Depression. The story contains a plot that traces a journey of two characters, George and Lennie, who migrates around to look for a job.

The movie was interesting in a way that it tells us a lot on human condition and presents a great theme of isolation, vision of American dream and loss of paradise.…
