What adversities are overcome by George and Lennie in the book Of Mice and Men?I am writing an essay for english and I have to incorperate the...

With the setting as the Great Depression of the 1930s,
George and Lennie of John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men have overcome
the hardship of being unemployed as they have procured work through Murray and Ready to
whom the boss of the barley-ranch wrote for two hands. In addition, although they are
bindle stiffs and among the dispossessed who must ride railroad cars and migrate from
job to job, they are not alone as are most of the other iternant workers; they have the
friendship and trust of one another.  Finally, until the tragic ending, George and
Lennie share the hope of having a little farm of their own on which they can live on
"the fat of the land" someday.  With this dream, they conquer the terrible alienation
that men without homes encounter.  Thus, George and Lennie have overcome the adversities
of poverty, alienation, and despair.
