Of Mice and Men Summative Assessment
Rationale:
This following letter takes place a few years after the ending of “Of Mice and Men”. I pictured a request from George to ask Slim to join his farm. I wrote these letters so that they portray the friendship of George and Slim during their time together at the ranch and after that.
I used informal writing to write their voices. I tried to write in a voice that George and Slim would normally speak in. I added some slang in certain places to make the letter sound more casual. I used some emotion in George’s letter to portray how much he cares for Lennie. I also used some comforting tone in Slims letter.
I decided to write from George’s perspective after the book because I wanted to show how guilty George feels after shooting Lennie evan if it was to save him. I also included details of Lennie’s and his dream to own a farm.

How’re Crooks and Curley.I wanted to ask ya this ever since Candy an’ I left the ranch. I’ve been wonderin’ maybe you can join me an’ Candy on the farm. We have chickens an’ pigs an’ a barn with three horses and a stack fulla’ hay. At first I wasn’t sure ‘bout gettin’ the farm but I figured Lennie would get upset even if he wasn 't
