In class we read the book Of Mice and Men By: John Steinbeck. The theme of this historical fiction book is friends will do any thing for each other. The theme was friends will do any thing for each other because Lennie said he would do any thing for George because he told him to. To start the book off George and Lennie was running to get away from the people that were trying to kill them for touching a girls dress. The events leading up to the climax was that curly wife was try to fool around with other farmers and curly fought Lennie but got his hand broken by Lennie big hands. The climax was when Lennie killed curly wife by accident because she was screaming her head off. The falling action was that Lennie did what George said and went down by the river. At the end George figured that the farmers were going to kill Lennie so George shot Lennie him self.
The two main character of the book was George and Lennie. George is small and smart and he travels with Lennie. He travels with Lennie because Lennie aunt told George to take care of him. Lennie is totally different because he is big really big and his last name is small and he like soft things. He is also mentally retarded. They both are looking for a job and they find one on a farm. They are both vary different but they are still friends.
I agree with the theme friends will do any thing for each other. At the end of the book Lennie said to him self that he would do any thing for him then when George came to him Lennie said that he would go and find a cave and leave George alone. I agree with it because it is true. I know it is true because I have a friend that will do any thing for me and I will do any thing for them to.
George and Lennie were vary believable because the way Steinbeck told us how and what they looked. The way he described the area around George and Lennie were as if I was them. The theme was believable because George told Lennie if he got into trouble that he was to go to the river that staid the night before that got to the ranch. Lennie got in trouble and he went where George told him to go. At the end Lennie told George that he would go up into the hills and go and find a cave and live by him self. Even though the end Of Mice and Men was sad John Steinbeck did a good job at showing Friends will do any thing for each other.
