The book I am using for my book portfolio Of mice and men I choose this book cause it was good and it had a lot of history though out the book. John Steinbeck wrote the book in 1937. In the book there was two people named Lennie and George they was migrant works moving from farm to farm. George was the smarter one and lennie was big but dumb. The theme of the book is friendship is hard the significance of the theme is that George has a commitment to take care of Lennie even though he does bad thing.
Lennie expresses the theme in the book by first grabbing the girl from the first farm causing them to have to run away. On the way to the other farm lennie kills a mouse and show aggrieve behavior. The second reason lennie show the theme is because at the farm he didn’t say anything and the made curly mad and almost start a fight.
The last reason he shows the theme is he kills curly wife and the he run and George shot him in back of the head because he knew that was going to shoot him anyways.
This book has historical theme is migrant workers
In the 1930’s there was about fifty percent of people are migrant workers. A migrant worker moves from farm to farm trying to find a job. A migrant worker gets paid very little but they shelter him and they also feed him. They usual have no family or friends.
In conclusion this book brings out the theme of two friends but George had to kill Lennie because he didn’t want lennie to get in anymore trouble and George wanted to live his life. George and lennie was different form the other workers because they had each other but the other men was only they wasn’t.
