Violence is a major topic in Of Mice and Men, shaping the lives of both the workers on the ranch and the people of our day.

Most people kill others because they’re either told to because someone they know is taken a hostage, or they do it just so they can blame their relatives.The narrator’s tone and mood are the ones to blame, but are the tone and mood both true or are they both lies? We may not know, but we will find the answer sooner or later.

During the beginning of this book I cam across a statement that stuck me by surprise. "Not being violent enough could cost me my body. Being too violent could cost me my body." This is a statement that I never have thought of before. I grew up in a community unlike the author here, only seeing how the author live by watching a movie or the news. While reading this book, I am trying to put myself in the authors shoes and try to understand where he is coming from, which is difficult.
