Photos of highlights from Of Mice and Men
George Milton is attempting to achieve his dream of freedom with Lennie and Candy.
Seems like we were always running away from or towards something.
Curley’s wife. We all underestimated her,and never knew her name, even after shedied.
Curley was always pugnacious. Lennienever did anything to provoke him.
We came so close to getting this little farmhousewhere we could be free and Lennie could tend the rabbits.
Lennie had the mind of a child and the strengthof a giant. Here he is making his fatal mistake.
The Salinas river bed where Lennie and Ibegan and tragically finished our adventure.

Quotes by Steinbeck: “I hold that a writer who does not passionately believe in the perfectibility of man has no dedication nor any membership in literature.”; “If you're in trouble, or hurt or need - go to the poor people. They're the only ones that'll help - the only ones.”; “Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.”
