In the book, "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck, this story takes place during the time of the Great Depression. "No mess at all, and when the end of the month come I could take my fifty bucks and go into town and get whatever I want." Stated in this quote shows this story took place during the great depression, because workers only got paid $50 per month. When George said that, he made like fifty dollars was a fortune. During our background research, we also researced mental retardation. "George wunt run away and leave me. I know George wun't do that." This relates to the book, because Lennies character is mentally retarded. He doesn't know how strong he is, cannot remember anything, and can kill animals on "accident". He always has to depend on George to do everything for him, from thinking to holding onto things.
Curleys wife, as said in the book is desribed as a pretty girl, who's got the guy for a lot of people on the ranch. "Ranch with a bunch of guys on it ain't the place for a girl, especially like her." (Page 51) In this quote, it shows what people think of her and how she is known for flirting with guys even when shes married. She constantly goes around meeting the new guys and trying to flirt with them. " I don't like Curley, he ain't a nice fella." When Curleys wife says that, it explains why she acts the way she does. She is not happy with her life and especially not happy with her husband. The reason why she talks or flirts to a lot of guys is because she is lonely and unhappy with Curley.
