Of Mice And Men by John Steinbeck is about two homeless men named Lennie Small and George Milton. I am rating this book fair because I had some problems with some specific topics, however the overall story was good. The problems I had with the book includes some uninteresting side characters, a bad ending, and the book does a bad representation of real people and real judgement.
Of mice and men has some interesting side characters with little to no use in the overall story. These characters include Whit, Carlson, and The Boss. These characters only really have one important place in the story. Whit’s only really “important” part is the curly asks where his wife is. Carlson has more part in the story, but that does not compensate for his lack of character. He is boring, mean, and an overall bad character. Now for the boss, the bosses only job in the book is to be the boss and being curly’s father. He gets mentioned a few times and only really shows up once in the entire story. In my opinion Steinbeck could have done a better job implementing side characters in the overall story. …show more content…

Even before the barn incident when she got into an argument with her mom which caused her to married Curley impulsively which seems to be her main
