If so, why was it g ood? Because it t old an exciting story? Because it m ade you laugh? Any novel is a g ood novel if it e ntertains you. But sometimes entertainment - like a m eal consisting only of dessert - i sn’t enough. The mind wants more. In a serious novel - l ike the one you’ll be reading in this module - y ou get more: a s tory that entertains you while it o ffers important insights about life. Like most serious novels, it t ries to make you think about who you are and how you should live your life. You will read the novel Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. Of Mice and Men deals with the problems of loneliness in society while focusing on the lives of two friends who try to keep alive a dream in an otherwise disheartening environment.
