Although John Steinbecks novel Of Mice and Men was first published in 1937, it gives several examples of a healthy mind (George) verses a non-healthy mind (Lennie). Good literature is something everyone should learn how to use in their writing.
Believed by Steinbeck, good literature comes from within the heart. "Literature is as old as speech." Good literature evidence: " humane heart in conflict with itself." "Mans proven capacity for greatness." Literature has been around for a very long time, since the alphabet or even before the alphabet.
Talking in Crook's room Lennie gets violent with his words when discussing Georges return. "George gonna come back." Most of the book is not very good literature, but this is one of the best phrases or statements Lennie said throughout the book. " Endles war against weakness and despair." Helps us to know what we can do in the future.
George describes to Lennie about the place they dream to have. "No place for rabbits now, but I could easy build a few hutches and you could feed alfalfa to the rabbits." George uses pretty good literature in his statements about rabbits.
In everything people wright they should always use good literature. For what little schooling George and Lennie had, they both used good literature thoroughtout the book. To have good essays one should always use good literature.
