Northeast Book Club
Published on Wednesday, May 19, 2010
The Northeast Book Club met again on April 24. The book we discussed was Of Mice and Men
by John Steinbeck. This is the story of two migrant workers: George is a small, dark man with “sharp,
strong features,” and Lennie, his opposite and companion, is a giant and loves petting soft things
but often accidentally kills them.
Lennie, who has a mild mental disability, is deeply devoted to George and dependent upon him for protection and guidance. George believes that his life would be easier without having to care for Lennie, but they are bound together by a strong friendship and mutual devotion. He and Lennie share a dream of buying their own piece of land, farming it, and, much to Lennie’s delight, keeping rabbits.
