You ARE studying it, or you are MEANT to be studying it?





Read it and you will find out for yourself.
Its a great book and film.





Self-sacrifice between Lenny and George. However, you should really find the rest out yourself.
if you are studying it don't you already know
SparkNotes are the best guides to use for GCSE.


Wikipedia could help as well.





I wish I could help more, but its a somewhats vauge question. Juts read SparkNotes %26amp; that should help you write a damn good essay on it.





Here's a brief plot summary, directly from Wikipedia;


Two migrant workers in California during the Great Depression 鈥?George Milton: average in stature, intelligent, and cynical, but caring; and Lennie Small: physically strong, but a mentally limited man 鈥?come to a ranch in Soledad, California to ';work up a stake';. They hope one day to fulfill their shared dream of settling down on their own piece of land. Lennie's part of the dream, which he never tires of hearing George describe, is merely to have soft rabbits on the farm, which he can pet. George protects Lennie from himself by telling him that if he gets into trouble he won't let him ';tend them rabbits';: they are fleeing from their previous employment in Weed; the childlike Lennie was run out of town, with George accompanying him, because Lennie's love of stroking soft things resulted in an accusation of attempted rape when he touched a young woman's dress.





At the ranch, the dream appears to become possible. Candy, the aged, one-handed ranch-hand, even offers to pitch in with Lennie and George so they can buy the farm by the end of the month. The dream crashes when Lennie accidentally kills the young and attractive wife of Curley, the ranch owner's son, while trying to stroke her hair. A lynch mob led by Curley gathers. George, realizing he is doomed to a life of loneliness and despair like the rest of the migrant workers, and wanting to spare Lennie a painful death at the hands of the vengeful and violent Curley, shoots Lennie in the back of the head before the mob can find him. The shot comes while Lennie is distracted by one last retelling of the dream.








I read Of Mice %26amp; Men when I was doing English GCSE, %26amp; I found SparkNotes to be the best to use.





EDIT: Although, I would suggest reading it. SparkNotes is merely a stepping stone, the difference between a grade...


ps. Don't rely on Wikipedia heavily, you never know who wrote it. It's all opinion.
You are gonna have to read the book yourself to benefit.
