Of Mice and Men [Symbolize] {GRADE THIS}

In this short essay I would like to talk about the book Of Mice and Men. This book has a lot of meaning to it, if you think about what’s going on in the book. The main thing I would like to talk about is Lennie’s puppy. I know you might be thinking that’s a corny essay. But that’s my point, to show you how the puppy symbolizes so much more. The puppy symbolizes new beginnings and dreams.

I would like to start talking about how a little puppy can symbolize so much more. Lennie’s puppy symbolizes new beginnings. By that I mean a clean slate, the person will be able to start over and change everything and forget about the past. When people think of new beginning they might think their new beginning is moving, getting a new home and more. The puppy in this book shows Lennie’s new beginning. It shows the new beginnings because Lennie is at a new place and he gets a new dog. Lennie enjoys spending time with the new puppy. The puppy shows that lennie can change now. He has a new life to start, just like the puppy. The new beginning in this book is the farm that Lennie , George and Candy would like to own. Were they could share home together and “live off the fat of the land.” Where they don’t have to worry about people canning them, because they own there own farm.

The final thing I would like to talk about it how the puppy symbolizes dreams. A dream is a very powerful thing that anyone can have, a dream is what keeps a person moving every day. In the novel Of Mice of Men the main dream that every body wants is to be able to live independently.

In conclusion, I think that the novel Of Mice of Men was a really good book. This book showed me that every thing you read symbolizes something, if you really think about it. So I hope my short essay helps you notice how much meaning this book really has, and makes you want to read the novel again to get the full effect of how well written this book is.
