Of Mice and Men- John Steinbeck GCSE

The main charecter, George Milton is an intellegent and also a cynical man.

"The best laid schemes O' mice an' men/ Gang aft agley"

English translation: "The best laid schemes of mice and men/ often go awry"

Inspired by Robbie Burn's poem "To A Mouse"

Set in the town of Soledad in Salinas, California

Opening is almost mystic, sets the scene for the whole book.

Writen by Nobel-prize winning author John Steinbeck

The Wall Street Crash of 1929 (October 1929), also known as the Great Crash, and the Stock Market Crash of 1929, was the most devastating stock market crash in the history of the United States.

The crash signaled the beginning of the 12-year Great Depression that affected all Western industrialized countries

The book is based around the 1936 "Great Depression" following the Wall Street Crash.

Beyond the idyllic atmosphere of The Salinas river there is a sense of danger the way that all of the animals have to fight for survival.

The theme of the suvival of the fittest may link to the main charecters, George and Lennie.

The opening describes the river and it's surroundings. "It has slipped twinkling over yellow sands"
