Of Mice And Men

         This is an amazing story about two workers that moves from place to place. George and Lennie have been kicked off the bus far away from California farm where they start their business. Lennie is a giant guy with a "blank" face. On the other hand, George is slim, slender guy with strong features. They both made a stop by a bank where they had camp for the night. Lennie has a mental disability and he is depending on George to protect him and guide him in a right path. George noticed that Lennie, the huge and strong guy, is always caring around and stroking a dead mouse. Lennie love to pet soft things, but being so strong to the point where he can't control it, he always somehow end up killing whatever he's petting on accident. Even though George might feel like his life would be more easier without having to care for Lennie, he understands that they both need one another. They both share a dream of buying their own piece of land, farming it, and because Lennie loves rabbits so much, they will raise a school of rabbits. George reminds Lennie that they are going to do hard labor on the ranch, and that he must be on his best behavior when they go to meet the owner of the ranch. George doesn't want the same thing to happen to them like that time they were working in the Weed. The next morning, Lennie went by the river to pick up the dead mouse that George had took away from him because he thought it would bring a disease. George finds out right away and took  the mouse away from him again.
