Of Mice and Men and Catcher in the Rye: When relationships are tested to the limit

from Tales of Our Time

Today is the second episode of our three-episode collaboration with two classes from the Canadian Independent Micro School, where students share with us some of the most impactful books they've read, and why they could be meaningful to others. This follows a similar format to our regular episodes, but features two books chosen and presented by student groups.  Today we'll be hearing about Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck: "Be grateful for what you have," as explained by Youho, Wayne, Ryan. We'll also learn about Catcher in the Rye  by JD Salinger: "Sometimes, all you need is somebody," as explained by Lara, Hayden, Una.
