Of Mice and Men - Entry 1

For my classic, I have decided to read Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, an author I enjoy very much. Last year, we read his novella The Pearl. I remember how much the structure of his stories surprised me.The way the story flowed, and the connection and references it made really made it a reading I would never forget. The way The Pearl used figurative language and imagery to create scenes that were breathtaking, even if they were all in my head, was so powerful that it made my truly feel as though I was experiencing the story along with the characters. Of Mice and Men was a book my friend read last year and highly recommended I read it. After doing some research, I understand that the book is a story of two migrant ranch workers, who travel all throughout California in search for a job during the Great Depression. Considering this book is in the short side, I am hoping to be able to finish it within a couple days, hopefully by Friday. I am hoping that this book will enlighten me on the struggles and normal life of those who lived during the Great Depression.
