Week of 10/17-10/22

This week we started reading "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck. We all guessed that this book had something to do with farms, and we were all right, sort of. Its not about men who have a farm. It's about men who work on different farms. The main characters are two men named Lennie and George. Their relationship does make the story all the more interesting. We also learned that John Steinbeck is an artist. He paints pictures with his words. For example, the first two pages of "Of Mice and Men" were all about the place where Lennie and George were, and what Lennie and George looked like. The place was so clear in my head. I see why John Steinbeck is such a famous author.
