    Great Answer

    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    "Of Mice and Men" is one of the most famous novellas in American literature. The book is not only quality literature, but is used as an introduction to the influential writing of John Steinbeck.

    Salinas Valley

    "Of Mice and Men" is written about people living in the Salinas Valley, which is where Steinbeck lived.

    Human Behavior

    Steinbeck admitted in the 1930s that the book was written to demonstrate human behavior. His interpretation of human behavior gives the book is lifelike and therefore many people can relate to one, if not multiple, characters.

    Workers

    "Of Mice and Men" shows how hard of a life migrant workers actually had. Steinbeck's depiction makes you feel for the characters in the story and leaves an impact on you.

    Dreams

    Steinbeck depicts the American dream throughout "Of Mice and Men." Regardless of how hard it got, George and Lennie still wanted everything they could in life. This message is one of the most important reasons that "Of Mice and Men" is a good book.

    Point of View

    The novella is told by a narrator who helps the reader see the story from the outside, not just what is going on from one person's point of view.
