Of Mice and Men 3

A detailed Summary of Of Mice and Men 3

Of Mice and Men, was a disturbing tale of friendship, and animosity and immoral

nature of the human race. Along the Salinas River and underneath the Gablian

Mountains of California during the Great Depression of the 1930's this novel takes place.

A famous writer by the name of John Steinbeck, who was also born in California, is the

author of this book. He has also has written many other good books such as The Grapes

of Wrath, Cannery Row, and Winter of Our Discontent for which he won a Nobel Prize.

He is truly a great writer, and Of Mice and Men is no exception, but while reading this

book I was greatly troubled by its ending. I can see why it is an excellent novel, but at

the same time it left me with a kind of unpleasant feeling in the back of my mind. I can't

see how an author could write a book with such a short and sudden ending. The last

images he leaves the reader with is George and Slim walking off as Curly says " Now

what in the hell is eating them?" thus the book ends on a harsh, cruel note, topped off by

the lack of understanding and compassion of an extraordinarily immoral and cruel man.

Whatever Steinbeck's intent for writing such a jarring ending, he l

can be to another of the same flesh and blood. All in all the ideas in Of Mice and Men

book. He also shows the flip side of this by his ending showing the reader what hatred

together while Curley says " Now what in the hell is eating them?"
