George and Lennie are two migrant workers in the 1930’s that have nothing but each other, and the hope for the realization of an American dream. George being the good man he is has to put up with Lennie who seems to be nothing but trouble. Lennie is an innocent man but the mild mental disability he carries in his life seems to work against him and George. Throughout the book we learn a great deal about the relationship between Lennie and George, and just why George made the decision he made at the end of the novella.
In the book, Of Mice and Men, dreams are what every character seems to be craving. In George and Lennie’s case, that something is land. It is natural for men in their situation, itinerant workers in the Great Depression, to imagine working on their own land and being their own bosses. Their dream is simple in some ways yet very complex in others. The dream apparently began as just a story that George told Lennie, perhaps as a way of calming Lennie down, or to keep him focused on working, but after some time, it seemed that George started to believe in the dream himself.
Mr. Das and Mrs. Das are very self-indulgent and immature in behavior, tactless, and proud. As Mr. Kapasi notes that they behave like a brother and sister that have to watch over the kids for one day. Mr. Kapasi, on the other hand, is an older person of dignity who is greatly fretful with his looks and impression he makes on others and has established a life of rituals that help comfort him with his unhappy marriage. More sympathy is shown for the American culture. They are displayed as neat and “cool” but as one can see; their relationship with themselves and their children gets worse everyday.
Dickens demonstrations here that Tiny Tim is the most vulnerable of all the lower class yet he is one of the most giving and happy members of the lower class, which puts shame on Scrooge and his fellow upper class men. I was going to write about how Dickens uses the 3 ghosts to turn Scrooge around which shows the people of his time how anyone can change and has good in them and that it is not hard to change, just to accept the others around you. Not only did Charles Dickens pen a novella that will be seen for many decades to come, Dickens uses this novella to try and get his point across to the people of his time, and how in which both the upper and middle classes were to get along and how to get along with each other. Dickens does socially commentate on his time more than trying to pen this novella into a religious moral
Toward the end of the book, Ralph starts to have mind blanks, but Piggy helps him through them. In this quote Ralph is trying to give out orders to the assembly when Jack starts his tribe and Piggy has to remind Ralph of the plan. “‘Well-what is the good?’ Ralph tried indignantly to remember. There was something good about a fire. Something overwhelmingly good, ‘Ralphs told you often enough,’ said piggy moodily.

It seems like a ritual or a bed time story for Lennie and it comforts his when something goes wrong. “George’s voice became deeper. He repeated his words rhythmically as though he had said them many times before.” George and Lennie aren’t like many migrant farm workers; they go everywhere together and stay together throughout. “I got you to look after me and you got me to look after you.” They don’t like what they do but it’s the only thing they can do to earn money. “Guys like us guys that like on ranches are the loneliest guys in the world.” But they believe they can be happy and successful not like other workers.
