Of Mice and Men

We have been reading the novella 'Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck for four weeks now.
To help you guys comprehend the story we are writing a summary for you. :)

To start up, the main characters:

George Milton
He is a small and quick man, clever and smart. He has strong and sharp features and slender arms, strong hands and a thin and bony nose. Inside, George is really friendly and helpful, even though he doesn't always show it.

Lennie Small
His name doesn't describe him at all. Lennie is a very tall and big guy with very strong arms and hands. But he is not very bright. He behaves like a child and always forgets everything.

And now, the story:

George and Lennie are ranch workers. They travel around and look for work. George takes care of Lennie and helps him out of trouble. Sometimes it's hard for them to find work, because Lennie sometimes does strange things. Due to Lennie's strange behavior, even though he doesn't want to cause harm, they had to leave the last ranch. So they have to find a new job on a new ranch.
George sometimes gets mad because Lennie forgets everything. Lennie always feels very sorry and tries not to forget.
They found work on a ranch and until now everything is going quite well, because George speaks for Lennie and helps him to do everything right.
But we guess that something might go wrong and that the two guys are going to get in trouble.

Have fun with the book :D
