    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 included some uninteresting side characters, a bad ending, and in my opinion the book is a bad representation of real people and real judgement. Of Mice and Men has some uninteresting side characters with little to no influence to the overall story.…

The people are always looking over their shoulder always trying to play it safe to keep whatever it is that they have; whether it be whatever they have left of their self dignity or honesty. With all…
