The place where the story begins and ends

From Of Mice and Men, the author begins the story at the river around with many natural views. According to chapter 1, George and Lennie are lovely friends who always take care together walking through the river to the ranch. Then, the story shifts the place to the ranches where their relationship is changed there. Finally, the story comes to the end they come back to the river where they start. There are two places in this story : the river and the ranch. The river is a significant place because everything start there and end up there in the same environment. Everything has changed

  1. I agree with you, there are two place in this story and the river is a main place for start and end story but the environment and feel of this place is different. In the end its make reader feels very sad and the environment sound terrible but in the start of story the environment is sound like a beautiful place.

  2. I think I understand what you are going to talk about. You want to contrast the relationship of two people in the different period of time but in the same environment, right? I agree that the time changes, the relationship can be changed.

  3. I like Near's comment, especially the way she talks about the feel of the two places in teh novel: the ranch and the river.
    It seemed to me that the river was natural, peaceful and good, a place of dreams, whereas the ranch it the place of man, violent, and the place where dreams are destroyed.
    I think the river, nature, is still beautiful at the end, even though the event that happens there, between men, is awful.
