Hello ,John Steinbeck, we are two students from NewComers High School.We are writing this Letter to you because we read your book Of Mice and Men and we liked it a lot. So we are interested on giving you a feedback and we have some questions about the story.
Our favorite character was George because even though he killed Lennie, he always did the best for him and we think he shoot Lennie because he thought that was the best way to finish Lennie’s life being happy instead of being tortured by Curley. Our favorite part is when they meet their new friends at the ranch, also when Slim gives Lennie a puppy and the part when Lennie realized what he done with Curley’s wife.
We have two questions to ask you, why you wanted a sad ending instead of a happy ending? and will George feel guilty the rest of his life for killing Lennie? We think you should have written a sequel about George’s Life.And I can understand that a sad ending can make readers remember the story deeply,but we like to see a happy ending rather than a sad ending.
Dear John Steinbeck
DeleteMy name is Kervens Saint Surin and I am a student at Newcomers high school. During the last two marking period, my class has read the book Of Mice And Men. After have read the book, I decided to write you a letter to tell you what i think about the book.
First, i want to tell you that your book is an interested book. I really like the way you end the book. i like it because it is a big surprise. for me, i thought the guys would realize their dreams, but it was not the case. i like read book like that. i like also the idea of making two different men friends in the book. this makes the reading more excited and the conflicts become more interested. i like also all the details that you gave in each chapter of the book. the introduction of the chapters are very amazing.the details help me to have more information about what i am reading. George is my favorite character in the book .i like him because he never gives up Lennie. He is always there for him. it was hard for George to live with lennie,but George stay with lennie although all the trouble that lennie gives to him.
Mr. John i congratulate you for this interested book that you wrote.i want to ask you two questions. why did you write this book? and why did you end it like that? i want you to know that i really like this book and that you are a great writer.

Hello,Mr.Steinbeck!We are students coming from Newcomers High School.In the last two months,we read Of Mice and Men in details under teacher’s guide.We found it very interestind,so that we want to share our feelings and opinions with you.
In the novel,according to Lennie and George,we learned loneliness makes life difficult.If people are separated from each other,life will be hard because we can not help other.Secondly, dreams give purpose to life.Dream makes strong power which can encourage us to work hard and make dreams come true.Everyone must have a goal in the future,otherwise,life will be meaningless.Thirdly,in the last of the novel,because Lennie killed Curley’s wife unintentional,George,Candy and his dream which having a small ranch was destroyed completely.As same as our real life,we can not predict everything in the future exactly.
After we finish reading the novel,we still have some questions about the characters that we do not have answer to. One of them is, “What will happen to George in the future?”.Another one is, “Why don’t you tell readers about Lennie and George’s past?’’In our opinions,George and Lennie have got each other,we hope they can have a happy ending.Also, someone directed a famous film based on your novel,which is popular among the whole world.
to answer your questions i want to tell you sometimes the writter let you ndetermine th eend

Hi, I’m pamela Javier,and Huaye ChenI’m student of Newcomer high school we were reading your novel
Of Mice And Men I writing this letter to you for tell you How interesting is your book because
see how George and Lennie’s life change .
In the story i like three things first is chapter one when the story started when George said to Lennie don’t leave stay with me. Also I like chapter three when Lennie and George they have a plan, they want have a little place, to have their own things, and it is wonderful! last one, I very like the chapter six, that George kill the Lennie, i think in George’s deep heart, he doesn’t want kill the Lennie, but he do it. If he doesn’t kill the Lennie, Curley will make Lennie suffer first and them he would kill lennie. My favorite characters are George and Lennie, because they are friends, and they travel together like the family, they just have each other. And in the end, George kill the Lennie.
The two questions are What make you write this novel? another question for you is Why you write this story during the great depression? . Two things that i want you to know are one your novel is very interesting and the other is that the end of the story make me feel so sad about how Lennie died.
We are students from Newcomers H.S. We had learned your book for one month.we wrote this letter to you because we are interesting in the story. We were le
Deletearning many things from the story. And we have something to tell you.
From the story, the first thing we learned from George and Lennie are the keep the good relationship. Is always meaningness. Because during the difficult time, the life will be easier when we have a lot of friends. Next to the hard life of the workers, who did not get the good treatment, we know the loneliness can make life difficult. We also learned the dream and goals give purpose meaning to life from George. Because the dream can support us to try more and learn more. All of the lessons we learn from the story are making purpose in our life.
We have two questions to ask you. One is why you don’t tell us about George’s future? and other one is the story was really happened in your life? In addition,we like your humorous writing skill,and you show us that how hard the workers have lived during the Great Deppretion. Thank you for you read the letter!

ReplyDeleteWe are students from Newcomers High School.We read your novel < Of Mice and Men >,we think it is a sad story, we had a lot of emotion when we read this novel .And we want to talk to you something about this book .
In ,we learned that dream gives meaning to life.Lennie and George have their dream to support them to find job and do things.Also,we learned loneliness makes life difficult, George and Lennie have each other,they are much better than who didn’t have friends or family to be with them,like Crooks.At that time ,everyone was alone,that makes their life much harder.Then we learned life doesn’t always go as we plan,George and Lennie planned to achieve thier dream to get a little place,and some animals ,but they never know Lennie would kill Curley’s wife , and George would kill Lennie .Our favorite character is George because even Lennie always got into trouble , George never left him.At the end , George know that if Curley gets Lennie , Lennie will get into a worse situation , so he killed Lennie .
We want to ask you that why you write this novel and How about George’s future?In our mind, we hope George and Candy can achieve their dream,because they worked so hard.Also, we don’t like curley and boss at all.We believe what goes around comes around .

We are the students of Newcomers high school,we have read your novel “Of Mice and Men” in these days.And we enjoyed it a lot, it is very interesting. After reading your story, we have many questions about the characters, the plots and something else,so we want to ask you about that.
We liked different quotes in the story. Like at the beginning of the Lennie was drinking water like a horse, he drank too much. Also he dabble his big paw in the water, looks like he was enjoying it; Also, when George couldn’t help Lennie and didn’t wanted him to get killed by curley, he killed Lennie by himself, and the behavior can reduce the anguish of Lennie in the future; We liked the various characterization in the story,because these characterization show the different types of people . Their emotions is very real and touched , so we like them .
We want to know how can you create the characters ,Lennie and George ,did you write this story base on your experiences or others experiences. We have another question, that, why you wrote the book.

We also want to say that we learned many interesting things that we didn’t know. We feel sad when George shot Lennie, we think that they will together forever, and make true dream.
ReplyDeleteWe want to tell you somes parts that we liked of the novel was when George and Lennie traveled together when they were looking for job after they go away of the problem that Lennie was when he touched the girl. Other part that we liked is when Curly and Lennie fought in the ranch. And the last part when George shot Lennie that part was so sad for us. our favorite character was George because he was a person who had many ideas for the future but he had to afront many problems that he had to comented a crime when he shot Lennie.
We want to ask you two questions why did not George give a chance for Lennie to life and change himself, to be better. George is gonna make true his dreame yes or not. How you felt when you wrote this navel. And what was the first thing that came to your mind when you wrote the end of the book.

Hi, Mr.John Steinbeck,we are student in the Newcomers High school, we have been learning your book, that name is Of Mice and Men. We feel sad when I read the ending of the book.We surprise of the ending, We could not believe the George killed the Lennie while they were imagining their plan.
The three thing learn from your novel are life doesn’t always go as we plan for it to,because Lennis killed Curley’s wife,but Lennie doesn’t want to kill Curley’s wife.He just wants to tend the rabbit as they plan,because Lennie killed Curley’s wife,their plan will be change,Lennis feels worry and he was cry,because he doesn’t want their change. The another thing is loneliness makes life difficult.In the story, Crook was a black man,he did not have any friend in the ranch, he kept distanc from other people, also, the worker kept distance from him.He felt unhappiness in his life,life was hard for him,because he lived alone. The third thing I learn from story is, the dream give meaning or purpose to life,because the old man knows he will die,but he doesn’t want remain the dog and the old man hopes the dog can more comfortable to die,now.that makes dream give meaning or purpose to life.We like character who is George, he was is a responsible man, he plans for the future and take care of Lennie.He can be bossy and suspicious of others.
1,Does Lennie likes the Curley’s wife?
2, Why they just leave the ranch after Lennie killed the Curley’s wife ?
3,All students like your novel.
4, We do not like the ending of the Of Mice and Men,

ReplyDeleteWe are students from Newcomers High School, we have read your novel Of Mice And Men, this is a nice book and we also have something interests about this book.
In this book, our favorite character is George, because George is smart also he always take care of Lennie and help Lennie to fix the problems. In this novel, we learned three themes are loneliness makes life difficult, Dreams give life meaning, and Life doesn’t go as we plan. In the book, George and Lennie’s friendship let us feel moving, because even Lennie makes a lot of troubles, George was never left Lennie. Their dream also surprise to us, because their dream is simple and easy. Last thing we learned about George is he shouldn’t shoot Lennie, he should help Lennie to get out this trouble.
We want to ask you two questions, one is why will you let George shoots Lennie, and second one is will George achieve the dream for he and Lennie in the future. From your novel, we learned many important thing it has connecting for our life, and also we think the end of this book needs to be continue.

ReplyDeleteIn paragraph one, please introduce yourself and explain why you are writing him (to tell him your reaction to his novel).
We are students from Newcomers High School.Recently, we have learned your novel Of Mice and Men. We think that your novel is very interesting and ironic because you describe to us that Lennie was a big guy but he always forgot something and talked like a child.It is amazing that George could always take care of Lennie even Lennie brought lots of trouble.
In paragraph two, please tell him three things you liked and/or learned from his novel. Also tell him your favorite characters and why.
After we read your novel,we have learned a lot.In Of Mice and Men,we knew life doesn’t always go as we plan it to.George and his friends have wonderful plan in the future and their dream almost came true.Lennie’s unwitting killing makes everything changed.Secondly,we also learn farmworkers move place to another for jobs.Lennie was a good worker ,he was strong.But he didn’t have good manners so that they often were fied.Also,loneliness makes life difficult.
In paragraph three, please ask him two questions and tell him two things you would like for him to know.
After we read Of Mice and Men. We have some questions for you. We want to know what inspired you to write this story? How was George’s life after he killed Lennie? Some things in Of Mice and Men we are very like. For example: We like the characters in the story because the personality of the characters are very clear. And the language are very beautiful.
Liu, Jinyun :response for Jing Jiang and Jiada’s letter
ReplyDeleteThank you! Jing Jiang, Zhang Jiada. I am very happy that you write this letter to me. I feel very glad that you like my story. And I see that you have some questions for me. So now I will answer the questions that you want to know. First response for your fist question is: I let that George shoots Lennie that is because Lennie kills the Curley’s wife and I think that if George didn’t kill the Lennie therefore other people will kill Lennie and kill him in a rude way.
And second response for your second question is: that George will achieve his dream because George do a lot to make his dream true he will not give up just because of Lennie died. Also if that George not achieve his dream I think that Linnie will not being happy even thought he died.

ReplyDeleteHello John Steinbeck. We are students from Newcomers High School. Our name are Penelope and Qiuping. Penelope is from Dominican Republic and I am from China. We have studied your novel Of Mice and Men, we are interested in your novel because the characters that you created were great. Your novel tells us that how difficult the life is.
I like Lennie such a funny character, he is big but act like a kid. He always brings trouble to George makes him angry but George still takes care of him. My favorite character is George because he are responsible. He can leave Lennie alone to have a happy life but he didn’t. I also like the way you develop the story. You used a lot of literature techniques to help us feel that loneliness makes life difficult.
I want to know what’s going on after Lennie died, and do you have same experience like story, what gave you Inspiration to write this story? I would like for you to know that we like your novel , funny and meaningful, we feel sad about the end of story Lennie killed by his friend George who accompany with him all the time.

know that you are an excellent writer and that many times reading the book
Of Mice and Men i got many emotions.Sometimes i felt sad,happy,curious,scare,
and many other things.
i liked many things of the book Of Mice and Men but specially i like the topic. i like that you talk about a serious and important thing that was the great depression because that time was a hard time to many people specially in the ranches.but i am honestly and i have to tell you that the end didnt like me because i supposed that George and Lennie were going to do their dreams reality and that didnt happpen...that made me feel sad at that moment.
when i read all the book in my mind were many questions and two of those are why george and lennie didnt escape? and how was going to be the future of George?. Whatever i want that you know that i am going to read more books of you
Dear john Steinbeck:
ReplyDeleteMy name is Genesis Cantillo an ESL student from Newcomers High School and I and over the last six weeks I have been reading along with my English class his literary work "Of Mice and Men". After reading your story me and my classmates have a couple of questions since we found it interesting an exceptional.
I would like to tell you that i love the setting of the book and also your quotes, it made me feel a strong connection with what was happening in the story. Also I learned how loneliness influences and affect the lives of the people around us and makes the person suffer in silence as many characters in the story does. My favorite character from the story was Lennie and the reason why I like him is just because he sees the world so simple with no difficulties at all and also his innocence made the difference between the others in the story.
After all I’m curious about what motivates you to create a story based in loneliness and during the great depression? and if is George be able to achieve his dream by his own without Lenny? Thanks for your time, I hope responses soon.
Hello, Mr.John Steinbeck, i am a student from Newcomers High School. I had read your book in Ms,mann’s class. i write this letter to your because i think the book is interesting for me.
ReplyDeleteIn this book. My favorite character is George, because he is smart and care for Lennie, help him, help him solve problem. I like three part are when they meet new friends at the ranch, also I like Slim gives Lennie a puppy and the part of Lennie break Curley’s hand.
After i finish this book, i have some questions about this book. Why you write the sad ending for this book? Another question is What will George do in his future? I think you should write another book about George’ future and you can write a happy ending of this book.
Hi, John Steinbeck. My name is LIN ,XIAO YUE. I am 17 years old. I am a student from Newcomers High School. I really like you and wants to communicate with you because I read the book “Of mice and men” in our ESL 5 class , I felt very touched. So I want to share my opinions with you.
ReplyDeleteIn the novel , I learned many things from this book. First, I learned how to care about a friend ,because we have to know how to care about those friends around us, then we also can have a better relationship with people. Secondly, loneliness makes life difficult, if we do not have friends and do everything by ourselves, we must be lonely. Finally, life does not always go as we planned, because dreams and plans are not easy to achieve, we just can imagery it all the time, in fact, it is really hard. My favorite character is George, because he know how to care about his friend and help him. He did not like Lennie get in trouble, he would rather let Lennie died in a happy way.So, I like this character.
In the end, I want to ask you some questions. Why you want to write this kind of novel? and What was the feeling in the process when you were writing this story? Also, I want you to know, your story is very nice and touched. I really like those person’s heart thinking and internal conflict. And the story’s ending is too sad, I really want to change it become George and Lennie already had a little place and lived with Candy. That is what I want to see, but this sad ending really touched.
Dear Mr.John Steinbeck:
ReplyDeleteHi, Mr.John Steinbeck. I am a student in Newcomers High school. We’ve just learned Of Mice and Men in ESL class, i have some questions or some other things to tell you, so i write the letter to you.
There are some interesting things i like in the story. One thing is that George and Lennie talking to each other about their dreams in the forest, i think that part is very moving, although Lennie is not clever, George never discard him, i think that part shows the good friendship between them. Another thing is that Curley’s wife talking to Lennie about her dream that she wants to be a actress. I first feel Curley’s wife is very poor when she’s talking softly to Lennie, that part changed her impression in my mind. The third thing is i think the ending of the story is very moving, Lennie and George are talking about their dreams, but Lennie doesn’t know he will be killed, but it’s a death without pain. The relationship between them is very clean honest and pure.
Of course i have some questions want to ask for you, one is that i wonder what will happen in the future, after George kills Lennie, where do George and Slim go and the end? another thing is i want to know when you write this story, what’s the mood of yourself and what were you thinking? I think this is a good story for students like us to read.
Dear John Steinbeck
ReplyDeleteMy name is Daniel Coumswang and I’m a student at Newcomers High School. Me and my class have read your novel Of Mice and Men and we are interested in your book. So we want to share our idea with you and ask you some question about story.
My favorite character is George because he always help Lennie even if he doesn’t like him. He mean sometime but all he do is to help Lennie. I like when they talk about goal in future and that make them work harder to achieve the dream. Also, when George kill Lennie because even if he kill him , he always do the best for Lennie. I learn that if you have someone , you will always be happy and has a better life.
At the end,I have some question to ask you. What is your inspiration to write this book? And, What will happen to George when he isn’t with Lennie? I think you should continue writing about the end of story also, I have learn many things from your book.Thank you for the great novel.

the character that i liked was George because he is a man very quiet , just just looking for the good way , and trying to help who was around him , in special to Lennie he always was helping him and telling him what he has to do .
All this history was true ?
Why you like to curley’s wife deat ? to do more sad the story ?

Dear Mr. Steinbeck:
ReplyDeleteHello,I am a student from Newcomers High School. I have read your book Of Mice And Men in this semester, and I am very interested in the story that you created. Therefore, I want to share my opinion with you.
Your novel makes me know that loneliness is a serious problem in people’s life. People can not survive if they are live without others. Secondary, your literature lets me feel that dreams is very important to a person. Without dreams and goals, our life will become no meaning. In this book, Lennie and George have their dream from the start to the end. My favourite plot which is George and Lennie talk about their dream near the river at the end because it makes feel grieved. George is my favorite character in this book, he is smart and careful and always take care of Lennie. I think he feel bad too when he kills Lennie in the end.
I have two question. The first one is why you write this end? And the second is What makes you to create this story? I would like you to know that in my mind, this book is wonderful and I will recommend this book to my friends.

ReplyDeleteHello,I am a student from Newcomers high school. I am studying your story “of mice and men” in this times. This end make me so surprised and sad, therefore I have a lot of interest about this book. I hope you can listen my opinions.
In the novel, I like the main characters: Lennie and George. Because George always cared Lennie and did not have any complaining. And Lennie was blithe in any times. After the reading, I learned loneliness makes life difficult ,life does not go as plan it and dreams give life meaning. And,my favorite moment is George talked with Lennie about theirs’ future ,they are happy and satisfactory. Second , Lennie accost to Crooks,and Crooks complained with Lennie, just one steps Crooks can attend this people to come true theirs’ dream.Third, George decided to kill Lennie,although he was too sad and did not want to kill ,he still choose to use most comfortable and happy way for killing Lennie. This was a dilemma for everyone,they were close their dreams but they can not come true. It was a pity for each one.
After reading,I have two questions want to ask you. One is what will George change in future? Another is how about you feeling when you write this story? Finally, I want to share for you my important feelings, this book is very interesting and amazing. But,we also hope they can come true theirs’ dream in the future.
Hi, John Steinbeck, I’m Edson Olivares from Newcomers high school. I was reading your novel Of mice and Men. I am writing this letter to you to tell you how interesting is your book because it demonstrate how some people lived during the great depression.
ReplyDeleteI like too many things from your book , but the most that i like are how George is taking care about Lennie . another thing is that they have a dream and they are doing the best to finally complete it,when people read that they start to thinking about they dream and to find out how to create it. And finally another thing that i like is when find a job because in those day was difficult to find one. My favorite character was George because he was always taking care about Lennie, I like when people is like that but in the end i don't like it is much because he finally kill lennie
Some questions I have are . what can happen if George got away to finish the problem of Lennie when he kill the curley's wife ? Another question is what happen with Lennie family? I like to you know that i will like to read another book of you because I know it will be interesting like Of Mice and Men .

ReplyDeleteI am a student from Newcomers High School. In this semester, we have read your novel of mice and men in L5R class. I like that story and would like to express my idea with you. When I read the ending, I feel helpless with Lennie’s life.
In the very beginning, Lennie and George are living in the Great Depression. It is hard to keep them life. Nobody is travel together except Lennie and George. Loneliness makes life more difficult. In some place them life are better than another, George and Lennie aren’t alone. Furthermore, George and Lennie have a common dream, which is own a house, tend the rabbits and live together happily forever. They are working hard in order to let them dream to come true. The goal gives them life meaning and encourage them to hold on. Thirdly, life is unpredictable. Lennie doesn’t want to make trouble at all, but he kills Curley’s wife. Lennie wants to live with George and tend rabbits carefree. However, life doesn’t always go as we plan. George is my favorite character in this book because he is a responsible man.
I have some questions want to ask you. Lennie leaves away with George, how does George live after that? Will he leave that ranch? Your novel teaches me something meaningful and I like your story very much.

ReplyDeleteHi, my name is Karla Javier and I’m a student from NewComers High School. I’m writing to you this letter because my class and I just finished to read your novel, and it was awesome, we loved it. so we would like to tell you some of the best part for us and ask you some questions if you don’t mind.
ReplyDeleteFirst I will like to tell you some things I liked from your novel. Some of the things I liked is, the friendship that george and lennie had, unless lennie sometimes can be so annoying, george is always with him and care so much about him. another thing I liked is how george and lennie are always trying hard to make their dream became true and, I liked every chapter, paragraph and line of your novel. My favorite chapter is six because at the beginning we are anxious to know if they will kill lennie or not, and at the end when george kill lennie, he was feeling so bad because he really didn’t want to do it, slim was there and helped him to stand up and keep going, slim was a really good friend.
To conclude I will like to ask some question. first question is, What made you create those characters (lennie and george)? and the second one, this novel really happened in real life?. I will like to tell you CONGRATULATION! you did a great job writing this novel.
wow!! i like your answers..
DeleteIn paragraph one, please introduce yourself and explain why you are writing him (to tell him your reaction to his novel).
ReplyDeleteHi ! john steinbeck. my name is Ronny Rodriguez, I’m 16 years old, and I’m from dominican republic. I write this letter to tell you that your novel Of Mice and Men is amazing and really surprising.
In paragraph two, please tell him three things you liked and/or learned from his novel. Also tell him your favorite characters and why.
I liked everything about your novel, but there were three things i liked the most; when lennie busted curley’s hand and showed everyone that he wasn't weak, when lennie was begging George to tell about their dreams and when George started to tell about their dreams, lennie got very excited and motivated, also i liked how George protected lennie when lennie needed the most. From your novel i learned many good things. One thing i learned from your novel is that life is harder without happiness and without love. Another thing i learned from your novel is that family and friends make our life special and beautiful. Also, i learned that we all need to have dreams and goals on which we can base and give purpose to our lives. One of my favorite character is slim because he is a responsible guy and he takes care of what's around him. Another of my favorite character is george because he is a nice guy who takes care of lennie regardless of all the troubles he gets into.
In paragraph three, please ask him two questions and tell him two things you would like for him to know.
I would like to ask you that, do you think the end of the story is a good one? do you like the end of it?. i would like you to know that i think your are a great writer and i would like to meet you one day.

ReplyDeleteDear John Steinbeck,
Hi, I’m Cynthia D Torres and I’m a student from Newcomers High School. I was reading your novel in “Of Mice and Men” and it was interesting and painful. I’m writing this letter to you to let you know that I had a lot of emotion reading this book.
I learned that dreams gives meaning to life and that life has no meaning when you're alone. Also I learned that George always took care of lennie even though lennie forgot things often and did a lot of bad things that wasn’t planned. Although in that time everyone were alone, but they were working so hard to achieve their dream. In chapter 1-4 shows that being alone makes life difficult and 5-6 shows that Life doesn’t always go as we plan it, My Favorite characters are George and Lennie because they showed that no matter what happens they were always together and protecting at each other. They traveled together to anyplace but together never separated, its makes me feel happy because they were always taking care at each other.
What will happen to George? How will be George’s life in the future?
What made you write this novel? I would like you to know that I really like this novel even though were too painful. This novel shows the real life in some occasions. I would like to recommend this novel to friends because I would like them to know more deeply about those character’s life.
HI, I’m a student from Newcomers High School and our class is finished your novel Of Mice and Men. We learn and see a lot. We found some interesting with something about your novel.
ReplyDeleteIn the novel, we learn loneliness makes life difficult. If people are alone and don’t have friends and family, life will be hard to survive because we don’t have anyone can talk and everyday will be boring. Life doesn’t go us we plan it too which means we can’t know what happens in our future and we can’t prepare to solve this happens. In the end of story, Lennie kills Curley’s wife and little puppy then his future is change and can’t achieve this dream. In your novel, my favorite character is Lennie because in the end Lennie is die and he doesn’t want to kill Curley’s wife but he is too strong.
1.What happens for George’s future?
2.Is the story ture?
3.We are very interest with your novel
4.In the end, I want they have a good ends.

ReplyDeleteHi John I’m Cristyn Colon I am a student from Newcomers High School.I have read your book of mice and man and It’s a interesting book, I love the story because It should me love, confidence and brings back many memories of my childhood.
I learned to many things like when George take care of Lennie even though that he had many psychological problems but he still loving him, I like when Lennie was playing with the puppy it was amazing he was a tough man but he had a big hard,I learned from the story that if doesn’t matter how many times you let it fall never give up and keep trying it.My favorite character from the story is George because he is handsome and he don’t look at the imperfections of others he is a good person even thought if he have to yell to some one he do it.
I want to ask you why did Lennie dead, what was the reason for it? and why George didn’t leave the place before the catch them? finally i want to know why the end of the story was very sad? is your life so sad like that?.

I’m writing this letter because in english class we read your book Of Mice and Men this book is very interesting because have a lot meaning for us. We can share our opinions and feelings with you about this book.
First i want to tell you the your book is very interesting because we can learn a lot thing about how is the life. In the story the part the i like more is when George kill Lennie i can’t believe this because George and Lennie is always together because they need each other. Other part the i like is when Lennie kill the poppy he didn’t want to kill he was only playing with the poppy. Also i learned the in the life we always need someone there when we need for something or when we have bad moments. We have only one life and that life we need to share with the important people for us.
Mr. John Steinbeck congratulation for this book is very interesting and help us to see the life differently I want to know something the i never understand. What was your inspiration to write this book? and How you feel after you wrote this book? Thank you for share this book with us.

On my english class i read your book Of Mice And MAN and it feel mE interesting that’s why i’m writing this letter for you because in your novel you show us very important themes that is about the real life and how it can be difficult when we are alone
ReplyDeleteOn MOce of men i like about your novel how you connect your novel with life that most of the people have because you with your novel teach us how important is live next to somebody that help in our good and bad moments and i like the way that your character always be together helping each other although one of them do bad thing but a good friend always be there. From your novel i learn how difficult can be the life without someone that you need a lot and how important can be to have somebody to who ask his opinion or some advice about choices that we make in our life. My favorite character is George because despite Lennie did bad things and get him on travel Geogre continue with Lennie helping him, that is a good friend.

1.Hi John Steinbeck. I am karina.I’m from ms.mann class.I’m from the Dominican Republic .I’m 16 year old.I’m very interested about your novel. This story is a wonderful even though this story make me feel sad because in here i see that all they dream didn’t achieve at the end of this story all thing change at all.
2.In this story i liked many things but the most interesting thing where ,when george told lennie that he couldn’t live without him.Also when curley try to hurt lennie and george told him to hit him back. That he didn’t care about what will happen with his job if lennie fight him back.And when george killed lennie even though he didn’t want it.That he just want lennie to die happy not afraid as he will be if curley kill him.
The characters that i like are george and lennie because they show that when people are immigrant they have to support all the problem .they have to face it as they do with curley
1.why you preferred this end and no another end.?
2.why you decided to write about this story
1.i want to tell you that this story was a fantastic story.That this is a good way to tell people that not all your dream can achieve ,but that doesn’t mean that you have to give up.Keep trying to achieve your dream even though it doesn’t achieve.
Dear Mr. John steinbeck ,
ReplyDeleteHy My name is wilson and I am a student of Newcomers high school my teacher and the class finished to read the book of Mice and men and let me tell you something that the book was so interesting and I have many questions for you ..
In this story I learned many things for example I learn that is the life nothing is easy and if you want something you have to fight and never give up also in the story I learned that you always have to have a dream and you have to have many good friends .
I liked the character lennie because he always had a dream and that is so import in the life and too I liked this character because he always try to do the right things but he can’t ..
After we finish reading the novel,we still have some questions about the characters that we do not have answer to. One of them is, “What will happen to George in the future and the other one is why George kills lennie ..
Hello , MR: john steinbeck , my name is Shantal fortun and I come from Newcomers High School . For the past one month we are reading your book Of mice and Men a interesting history about two friends who have learned that friendship and the love are more stronger that loneliness.We also want to say that we learned many interesting things that we didn’t know , we think that the end was going to be happy but to our surprise the ending was sadness and shocking for me and my partners specially when George shot Lennie his best friend.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite character was george because even though he kill Lennie he know the reasons why he did he was like a brother for him also his best friend , also he always did the best to protect lennie , we thinks that was the best way to finish Lennie’s life being happy instead of being tortured by Curley and the others men. My favorite part was when george said to Lennie that defend himself from Curley’s knocking and that not be afraid to the people who want to do damage him.
We have two questions to ask you , why you wanted a sad ending instead of a happy ending ? and what will be george in the future , he continue to the idea to follow the lennie and him dream?i think that you should have to write like a second part of the book tells to us about what happen with George’s life. we understand that you want that every story be unique and i like it i thinks is brilliant and interesting
