A book that has changed my life is Of Mice and Men By John Steinbeck. Of Mice and Men is about George and Lenny (Lenny being mentally disabled). They struggle through the life of a migrant worker while maintaining their dream of owning their own ranch. The story deals with complex subjects such as sexism, racism and mental illness. Of Mice and Men gave me a new perspective on the world around us. It showed me the true benefits of friendship and loyalty. I found it fascinating how George can change from an irritable person to a person who only wants the best for himself and his best friend. I found it very inspiring watching two men work through incredible conditions and the only thing keeping them from giving up is their loyalty for each other and their dream.
