Summary Of Mice and Men
SECTION: ONE
Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
Two friends, George Milton and Lennie Small, were on their way to seek job opportunities. They moved through the forest in search of a job. George took care of Lennie and guided him in his overall activities. He advised him not to drink the water that was not running. Lennie was quite huge in his appearance, but mentally, he had a disability. He had a dead mouse in his pocket. George scolded him for keeping that mouse. It got dark, and they planned to stay on the bank of a river near the jungle. Geroge warned Lennie not to do any bad things, as he had done earlier. George got troubled most of the time due to Lennie. George used to think that he would have a happy life, a beautiful lady, and a beautiful house if Lennie hadn't been with him. But due to his promise to Aunt Clara, George was in the business of caring for his friend Lennie. George told Lennie about their dream and task. According to him, they would earn a lot, buy land, and keep some animals like pigs, peacocks, rabbits, goats, etc.
Lennie had a habit of mostly forgetting things. George kept on reminding him of things most of the time. He advised him to come and hide in the bush if he got into trouble.

George had warned Lennie not to speak any words to the boss. They reached the bunkhouse at 10 a.m. and visited the boss of the bunkhouse. The bunkhouse was a long, rectangular building. The walls were whitewashed and the floor unpainted. The boss asked about their job experiences. George answered all the questions and didn't allow Lennie to speak. Curley knocked on Lennie as he was walking. Everybody was frightened of Curley in the bunkhouse. He recently married a fashionable lady. People criticised her as a tart woman.
George warned Lennie not to watch that woman. Slim entered the farm and introduced himself to Lennie and Geroge. His dog had gotten some puppies.

George and Slim talked about the nature of Lennie. Once, he jumped into the river due to his forgetfulness. Aunt Clara had told George to care for Lennie. While working on a weed, Lennie created the problem. Due to that problem, both of them fled from that place. Lennie messed up with a woman. He tried to touch her red silk clothes because he was fascinated by the soft things. But the woman accused him of raping her.
Lennie was playing with the puppies of Slim's dog. Lennie came into the room, hiding the puppies in his clothes. George scolded him. Carlson took his gun and shot the old and feeble dog of Candy. Candy compared himself to an old dog. Whit talked about the nature of Curley's wife. Curley entered to search for his wife. Curley didn't find Slim in the room and suspected the relationship between his wife and Silm. Lennie wanted to hear again about their dream. George didn't have any interest in that dream. Candy passionately paid attention to their plan. George told me about their plan.
THEIR PLAN
George explained that their land would be ten acres, they would have a windmill, chickens would run, a kitchen, an orchard, cherries, apples, peaches, nuts, and a few berries. They would kill the pig, smoke the bacon and hams, make sausage, and the like. They would have caught a hundred salmons (fish) and smoked them. When the fruit would come, they could can them. Every Sunday, they would kill a chicken or a rabbit. They would have some cows or goats, and from them, they would make cream and have it with a spoon. They would have vegetables in the garden and a little whisky. They would have a little house with a little fat iron stove, and in the winter they would keep a fire going in it. They would have plenty of rabbits to eat and sell. They would keep a few pigeons from flying around the windmill. They would have a setter dog and a couple of stripe cats.
Candy got ready to join in with their plan. He had saved six hundred bucks. Slim, Curley, Carlson, and Whit entered the room where Candy, George, and Lennie were talking about their plan. Slim threatened Curley not to follow and bother him but rather to keep his wife with him all the time. Slim didn't have any interest in one's wife. At that time, Lennie remembered his dream plan and accidentally laughed. Curley got furious and started hitting Lennie. Lennie grabbed his fist tightly with his big paws and crushed his hand. Slim settled the conflict.

It was early evening. Lennie went to the place where George had suggested he hide in times of trouble. Lennie hid in the bush and waited for George. He was quite afraid of thinking about George. "George's going to give me hell," he told himself. He told himself that he would go to the mountain and remain in a cave. In his vision, a woman appeared (Aunt Clara). She scolded him for giving trouble to George. There was a rabbit in his vision who told him that George would beat him the hell out and leave him alone. George went there, and Lennie asked him if he would kill him. George tried to explain their plan for their own land. Lennie forgot all the things and enjoyed the words of George.
