But though the scope is narrow, the theme is universal; a friendship and a shared dream that makes an individual's existence meaningful.

故事背景设定在三十年代大萧条时期Salinas Valley的农场,描绘了痴人和底层人,还有他们的孤独与梦想,太悲伤了,读完让人心碎。(展开)
How could George kill Lennie at last? Is the author too crude to set up such an ending or is it just the quintessence of the society? Why while you mean no harm to others but things just turn out to be a mess? Why the little mice die in the hand of the peop...

书评 《Of Mice And Men》By John Stenbeck. 《人鼠之间》 AP English 布置的作业,一周读完,写论文分析,一切照旧。还没从刚刚读完的海明威的作品《老人与海》里透过气就又进入了这样一本封面奇特的小书。看到这个名字最直接想到的就是猫和老鼠吧。可是这却是完全不一样的一...
