The book that I have read that has really stayed with me is

Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. I really enjoyed

reading it which is unusual because I usualy don't enjoy

reading to much. There was something about George and

Lennie's friendship that really made me think. Seeing how

they were and how they shared life was really intresting.

George didn't have to bother with Lennie, he could have

abandoned him and gone on his own way. But he did not do

that, he stayed with Lennie watching over him almost like a

parent to a child. Even though Lennie always got Georege in

trouble, George never stoped loving him and always stood

by him. The friendship they shared went beyond what was

transparent they each shared a dream and both knew they

ment the world to each other. I felt that if these totaly

different people could get along and look out for each other,

why can't we get along with people who are differnt than us.

They made me realize that I could learn something from how

to treat people who are differnt than me. What I also liked

about it was the way they never stopped trying to reach their

dream. This made me think that if they could work hard for

there dream why can't I. It showed me that it does not

matter were you come from or what you do, it is okay to

dream and work as hard as you can to reach it . For all it

shows for friendship and loyalty it also shows how

sometimes you have to do things you never thought you

would do. For example in the end when George is forced to

shoot Lennie in the head you would never have thought he

would do that, but you can see that under the circumstances

he had no other choice. He only had two choices let the

other people get to him first and watch them torture Lennie

while he died a long horrible death or do it himself and get it

over quick were Lennie did not know what hit him. This is

also true in life, many times we are faced with tuff choices

and even though they may be the hardest you will have to go

through, you know that that is the only way. You come to

the realization that everything you thought you was about,

can all change with a blink of the eye.
