The book that I now will write a summary of is, "of mice and men" written by John Steinbeck. The book is under the category "drama". It's written during the 1930s. It was first published in 1937. The book follows two men through their lives, or parts of it at least.
They make their way to a ranch where they expect to find work. George, the small and bright one of them, goes in front. Lennie, which is a bit retarded, but with an enormous strength follows him. Lennie has been accused of assaulting a girl and that's why they had to leave town. It was never in Lennie's thoughts to assault the girl, he just wanted to stroke her dress, because it seemed soft. You see, Lennie loves soft, furry things, but he can't have a pet animal, for he keeps getting them killed, he doesn't want to kill them, he is just to strong. Together they are travelling from ranch to ranch, trying to gather as much money as they need to get their own place.. Sometimes George wants to leave Lennie on his own, but he takes care of him, helping him with all his needs. When they finally reach the ranch they are hired for the season. George tries to keep Lennie out of all sorts of trouble, at the same time avoiding trouble himself. George's only wish is to save money so they can one day get their own place and settle down. Such a place costs a lot of money which George and Lennie does not have, but Candy, a farmer, offers them his savings, and asks to become their partner. The dream now seems closer for George and Lennie.
