    Plot Synopsis:

    “Of Mice and Men, novella by John Steinbeck, published in 1937. The tragic story, given poignancy by its objective narrative, is about the complex bond between two migrant laborers. The book was adapted by Steinbeck into a three-act play (produced 1937). It was adapted for television three times…”

    “The plot centers on George Milton and Lennie Small, itinerant ranch hands who dream of one day owning a small farm. George acts as a father figure to the large and mentally challenged Lennie, calming him and helping to rein in his immense physical strength. When Lennie accidentally kills the ranch owner’s flirtatious daughter-in-law, George takes drastic measures to help his friend.” https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.507266/page/n7/mode/2up

     Pride and Prejudice
     by Jane Austen

    This novel should be read for the first day of school. Books can be obtained from the library or local
    bookstores; a PDF link is below if you prefer to read the novel online.

    Plot Synopsis:

    “Since its immediate success in 1813, Pride and Prejudice has remained one of the most popular
    novels in the English language. Jane Austen called this brilliant work "her own darling child" and
    its vivacious heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, "as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print."
    The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and her proud beau, Mr. Darcy, is a
    splendid performance of civilized sparring. And Jane Austen's radiant wit sparkles as her
    characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, making this book the most
    superb comedy of manners of Regency England.”
