Of Mice and Men
By John Steinbeck
March 3-April 3, 2009
“Some day we’re gonna get the jack together and we’re gonna have a little house and a couple of acres…” -George
John Steinbeck’s 1937 classic tale introduced the world to two wanderers, realistic George and simple-minded Lennie, who walk the highways of California looking for jobs to make ends meet. With the Great Depression all around them, it is their dream of one day having their own farm that keeps them drifting from town to town. But that dream is lost when Lennie unknowingly jeopardizes everything they’ve worked towards.
