Poem Title:
Poem
I thought to write about my High School Social Studies book report. An uncomplicated short story about the lives of two characters who like to take life the short and easy way. I decided to write it as a narrative, showcasing the simple characters as carefree drifters. Near the end, the lives that they made easy, sadly turned complicated. It's about George Milton and Lennie Small. The roaming workers shared their dreams of being eventual farm owners during the Depression Period. George was the smaller and a bit learned of the two. Lennie was taller and that made him oafish because of his limited wit. Auburn, California, started their course across the state’s harsh landscape from one ranch job to another. They closed in on a job just outside the town of Soledad. Stopping for a swim off the Salinas River, Lennie gathered up delicate flowers. He is overwhelmed with anything soft, fragile, and pretty. In his zealous nature, he hugged it lovingly but much too tightly as they quickly withered and died. George noted that oddity before, but he thought it as being trifle to be of no concern. As they prepared themselves before they arrived at the ranch, to a slight degree, the witty George would be a money-saver type, and Lennie's character with his notable oddity, is simple-minded. Yet on their first day, Lennie strangled Candy accidentally. She was the owner's son's pretty wife. The rhetoric grew unstable for Lennie wherein laid the guilt. George was forced to face some sort of retribution with farmhands yakety-yak of a lynch mob that would lead to a hanging. Left with that sad chapter, George grabbed ahold of Lennie. At a secluded part where no noise would be heard. George quickly closed that chapter when he took out a pistol he found at the farm and he shot Lennie as George fathomed money to be his closing grace.
