Of Mice and Men is remembered as one of Steinbeck's most important and influential novels. Of Mice and Men shows the devastating impact that the Great Depression had on many American's ability to succeed financially. The characters in Of Mice and Men also show a difficult truth about loneliness and an unreachable dream (something that most people, no matter their nationality or social status can understand).

There is one noticeable characteristic about Lennie. He has a mental disability, which was mental retardation. Even though this…

Thesis Statement Steinbeck shows that dreams in the “Of Mice and Men” cannot come true in the 1930s by 3 people. Like Candy, Lennie, and Crooks who are different but kinda the same. Dreams don't come true in America by differences and segregation Body 1 Lennie had something to hold him back, he was retarded for example “ The hell with what i says”. Some people treated him differently because of the way he was. The only person that cared the most was George. They had a bond that couldn't be…

Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, a tale set in the Great Depression. The novel teaches you the importance of friends, importance about the need for sacrifice, and about the importance of dreams. George and Lennie were like best buds and they helped each other through thick and thin. Well, Lennie did something really bad. I agree that George did the right thing by shooting Lennie. He made the process quick and painless, Lennie died happily, and he didn’t want to let Lennie be by himself in the…
