How accurate is 'Of Mice and Men' historically?

Answer 1

Pretty accurate, but one thing is not true. The average migrant worker historically got 300 dollars per year. In the book, George and Lennie get 50 dollars a month. That would equal a lot more total per year. So that part isn't exactly accurate.

Answer 2

'Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck is not a work of pure historical accuracy as it is a fictional novella. However, it does capture the essence of the Great Depression era and the struggles faced by migrant workers during that time. The setting and the societal issues portrayed in the book reflect the historical context in which it is based.
