Welcome, friends. In making SwiftRiverResources.com, I have found that some things just don't "fit" into the framework of the site. Here are some of the things I have found online that bring to life the study of the Of Mice and Men. Please use these alongside your journey starting on SwiftRiverResources.com.
Listed below are a description of the book from the publisher and posted on Amazon, articles from Wikipedia, activities, discussion questions, as well as some points to ponder about the story from Common Sense Media.
Please also find a PDF below with a full set of extra worksheets and word lists from SwiftRiverResources.com. Note: teacher keys and auto-graded quizzes are still accessed through a subscription to SwiftRiverResources.com.
Excerpt from Amazon.com:
Over seventy-five years since its first publication, Steinbeck’s tale of commitment, loneliness, hope, and loss remains one of America’s most widely read and taught novels. An unlikely pair, George and Lennie, two migrant workers in California during the Great Depression, grasp for their American Dream. They hustle work when they can, living a hand-to-mouth existence. For George and Lennie have a plan: to own an acre of land and a shack they can call their own. When they land jobs on a ranch in the Salinas Valley, the fulfillment of their dream seems to be within their grasp. But even George cannot guard Lennie from the provocations, nor predict the consequences of Lennie's unswerving obedience to the things George taught him.
