　　Reading Experience

　　It was my first time to have been exposed to English literature, so it was a fresh experience for me.

　　I was curious about this book at first when I read the first chapter. The tense, grammar, even the words are incorrect and I could hardly read it. But if you continue to read this book, you can accustom yourself to it.

　　It's the second English book that I have read. Be frank with you, it is quite difficult for me to finish the whole book. Besides the new words, there also exist some wrong words, so I can not tell whether they are new or wrong. It all depends on my instinct. What's more, the way that the author thinks is quite different from me. So it was a tough time, but I'm glad that I have finished reading this book.

　　To be honest, I was a little nervous at the beginning because there were too many wrong words, sentences and expressions. Compared with the last book, it was a little more challenging and difficult for me to understand the plot. However, nothing can stop me from going on. Through reading aloud and imagining, I feel great pleasure and enjoyment, which meakes me very excited. In fact, after the process of the reading, I really enjoy this reading experience, for I have a sense of achievement and gain more things rather than know more words.

　　In a word, I'm so interested in the book. It allows me to know a completely different culture and to understand the pain of unprivileged people. Thank you for your recommendation.

　　Theme

　　In my opinion, Of Mice and Men is meant to reveal the deep gap between dream and reality. Lennie and George had their little dreams and tried their best to chase their dream. However, dreams never came true in reality because the society was full of inequality, injustice and discrimination. It was not only a tragedy of low-class people but also a nightmare of the dark age.

　　In the book, what moved me most was that George shot Lennie to enable him to pass away with happiness. Lennie's death was so romantic but sorrowful.Maybe death was the last hopeful way to gain happiness in such a society and it was the last rebellion to the world filled with despair.

　　Happiness is easy to get. Happiness is difficult to get. ... For Manual laborers in America at that time, happiness was still on the shaky ground. ... It has nothing to do with the poor. “

　　Of Mice and Men is a book including a long story happened within a very short time. It uses many details to present a short and dramatical story with ups and downs which happened in a few days.

　　The title is about mice and men, but the story is really about men. It seems talking about the two main characters George and Lennie, but it is talking about the entire human beings. And also, it is about dream and reality, about love and evil, about life and death.

　　The mice die in the hand of the man who loves them the most. Also, a man dies in the hand of another who loves him the most. Did the author damage the approved love or complete the self-righteous love? Lennie killed the mice by incaution, and George killed Lennie by intention.

　　I don't know how to comment on George. If I were him I wouldn't give Lennie that shot. But I understand the struggle of George - I just feel so upset. Actually, I don't like this story. It doesn't have straight violence or darkness, but is is full of gloom and sorrow. “

　　Lennie is a simple boy with no evil intention. Mentally he is a baby while physically he is as strong as a machine. A machine ban be motivative if conducted by an adult; however, it would be dangerous if it is conducted by a baby. In spite of the fact that Lennie is kind, he is always driven by his instinct instead of by his logic. His only rules are George's orders which only work when George is present. ... Maybe we can draw a conclusion that Lennie's death is the best ending for both Lennie and George.

　　After reading this book, I was really sympathetic with the bottom of our society. They need to shoulder heavy pressure of work and also carry on their difficut and challenging life. They are easily content with pleasure. They never go out of their small circle and experience the world outside. They even die without a name...

　　From my perspective, the story can be concluded like it's about a group of lonely people in a cruel world. Candy was lonely and helpless. He once had a friend, his dog, but it was killed for it was too old and could hardly survive. Crooks, the colored man, was lonley, too. Few people on the farm talked to him thus he read books and stayed alone. Curley's wife was as lonely as them. She had hoped to become a star when she was a tennager but she became Curley's wife at last. In another word, she married a man she didn't love. ... I felt sad after finishing reading the story.
