He wrote using a very natural, realistic style he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Died on December 20, He has 30 novels published, 3 of which came out after his death.

Of Mice and Men Of Mice and Men was written in It tells the story of George and Lennie, two migrant farm workers during the Great Depression. The novel has been banned periodically in the United States for a variety of reasons, including "profane" language, morality, violence, and the depiction of the mentally challenged.

Setting: Of Mice and Men The novel is set in the farmland of the Salinas valley, where John Steinbeck was born. (CALIFORNIA) The ranch in the novel is near Soledad, which is south-east of Salinas on the Salinas river. (STILL IN CALIFORNIA) The countryside described at the beginning of the novel, and the ranch itself are based on Steinbeck’s own experiences.

Migrant Workers- between the 1880s and the 1930s thousands of men would travel the countryside in search of work. In the novel, George and Lennie (the two main characters) were migrant workers. Great Depression- One of the major causes of the Great Depression was the collapse of the Stock Market on “Black Tuesday”, October 29 th, Another cause of the Great Depression was bank failures. Many people were unemployed during this time and life was very tough. Dust Bowl- Throughout the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Great Plains (mainly Texas and Oklahoma, but also effected parts of New Mexico, Colorado, and Kansas) suffered a severe drought. In 1934, windstorms covered the Great Plains. They easily uplifted the soil, blowing massive clouds of dust all over the plains. Thousands of people were forced to leave their homes because of the Dust Bowl. 89 million acres of land were severely damaged or destroyed.
