Who Killed Lennie?
A short synopsis of the story, outlining the basic plot and key points in the book, "Of Mice And Men." By John Steinbeck.
In Chapter One, Lennie and George have to leave Weed to escape from trouble. They stop off for the night before going to a ranch where they've been hired to work. The two men talk about their problems in the past and their plans for the future.
In chapter two, they arrive at the ranch and meet Candy, the boss, Curley, his wife and some of the other characters.
In chapter three, George and Lennie learn more about Curley and his wife and, with Candy, share their dream of owning a farm. Lennie crushes Curley's hand, and from then on, Curley keeps his distance. Lennie also gets a puppy off of Slim.
In chapter four, Lennie, George, and Candy spend some time with Crooks as they discuss their plans for the future.
In Chapter five, two murders are committed; one of a puppy, the other of Curley's wife. Curley and the farm hands begin their search for the killer.
