Back
atcha with another book! I have started reading the classic Of Mice and Men, by Nobel Prize-winning
author John Steinbeck. Steinbeck was born in 1902 inn Salinas, California, the
setting for most of this novel. Of Mice
and Men follows the plight of two ranch workers as they search for a job
during the Great Depression. Some of the experiences in the book are based off
of Steinbeck’s own experiences around this time period.
Despite containing content marked as vulgar,
racist, and offensive, Of Mice and Men
finds its way into required reading for many schools. For now I can predict
that this story will most likely take a saddened mood. Anyway, I have to get
reading. See you guys soon.
