        Recently I read this book called Mice of men. In this book the main characters were George and Lenny. This story took place in the 1930s. George and Lenny were migrant workers, so they would work on a farm for a few months then travel to another city then will work for another farm for another few months. George was a mentally challenged person, and Lenny would use to take care of George. Lenny was basically the ring leader so he ran the show. George caused so many problems so Lenny had to always take his side and defend him. Its because of George they can not stay in one place and settle there, they always have to migrate. Towards the end of the story Lenny ends up killing George, because George had caused so much chaos at the other farm, that they were going to burn George alive, so Lenny decided that It was time for him to go. Lenny did do it in a peaceful matter, and George did not suffer with pain. It was very hard for Lenny but he had to do what he had to do. I reacted very surprised. As a matter a fact I had to read that chapter twice to make sure I understood it. The author did use chronological organizational patterns also he did use a lot of comparing and contrasting especially when it came to George and Lenny. Overall this was a good book and I do recommend the book to people.
