Memorable characters, violence, and friendship. These three elements are why I enjoyed Of Mice And Men. The characters were truly relatable and you get into their world. Secondly, I liked reading about all the gore and blood in this book. Lastly, I related to the theme of friendship in the book.
To Begin with, I like Of Mice And Men because of the characters. As I read this book I felt the characters emotions. The reader accepts their differences, and understands what they’re going through. For example, everyone reading this book would root for Lennie, even though he’s mentally disabled. After hearing about Lennie And George’s plan, who wouldn’t want them to succeed?
Next, I enjoyed the blood gushing, bone crushing violence in this story. Like when Lennie fights Curley. Throughout the book, Curley tries to start an argument with Lennie. He really gets what is coming to him. Lennie ended up breaking Curley’s hand.
Finally, I enjoyed this book because of the theme of friendship. This book shows how every human needs some sort of companionship. Just like George and Lennie, friends are we need friends to keep us going when we’re down. Like the book proves, everyone needs a good friend.
In conclusion, I liked this book for several reasons. Firstly, I connected with the characters. Of Mice And Men also has violence, that I enjoyed. Last but not least, I liked the theme of friendship. I liked this book, and I know you will too.

You learn so much from reading books. Banning books is wrong because it limits the information people can gain from reading. For example, many books deal with gritty topics, but these issues are relevant in today’s world. For example, “The Drowning of Stephan Jones” deals with homosexuality. Additionally “Are You There God, It’s Me Margret” discusses religion. Lastly, “Huckleberry Finn” contains offensive language.
One major reason books are banned is because they contain homosexuality, such as “The Drowning Of Stephan Jones”. In our day and age, a book shouldn’t be banned because it contains homosexuality. This topic has been in the press recently when Miss California was asked about her beliefs on gay marriage. She responded by saying marriage should be between a man and a woman. A media frenzy followed. Also, several states such as Iowa have allowed same sex marriage.This proves that many Americans are becoming more tolerant towards homosexuality.
“Are You There God, It’s Me Margret” was banned because the main character was questioning religion and didn’t practice any faith. However, that does not justify the book being banned. This is because many Americans are expressing the same sentiments. According to an article in Newsweek titled “The End Of Christian America”,The number of people willing to describe themselves as atheist or agnostic has increased from 1 million in 1990 to 3.6 million in 2009.
In real life, you’re bound to hear at least a few curses a day. Shouldn’t books portray real life? Many school districts and cities decided to ban “Huckleberry Finn” because of its use of foul language. One word in particular, was the n-word. Huck Finn would definitely loose some historical context if this word wasn’t included. During the 1800’s, African Americans were referred to by that term. We cant change the future if we don’t know our past, and learning about that time period can play a huge part in preventing it from ever happening again.
In conclusion, books should not be banned. Books are there for people to help readers learn and grow. One cant do this if they don’t have access to these books. Many books banned deal with today’s controversial topics. First, “The Drowning of Stephan Jones” was about a gay man’s murder. Next, questioning God is discussed “Are You There God, It’s Me Margret” discusses religion. Finally, “Huckleberry Finn” contains offensive language.
