A book review

Hello,

In this post, I'm going to write a book review. This is a very important book for me.

It's called "Of Mice and Men", which was translated as "Fareler ve İnsanlar" into Turkish. It is a short novel. It was written by John Steinbeck, who is a famous American author. It was first published in 1937, and it originally has got 107 pages.

This is the cover of the book in first edition in 1937.

The main characters of the book are George and Lennie. George is short, but he is a strong man. Also, he is Lennie's best friend. On the other hand, Lennie is very tall and very strong, but he is mentally disabled. In other words, he is like a baby. He cannot do anything without George's help. He always asks George before he does something.

Lennie and George in the film version of the book.

George and Lennie live together. They have a dream; they want to make a lot of money and buy a farm and live there happily ever after. For this, they need to work. So, they go to a big farm and start to work there. However, Lennie's mental disability causes some big problems in the farm.

I love this book, and it is one of my favourite novels. Strong points of the book is the characters and the plot. The main characters, George and Lennie, are very well developed. You can feel the bond between them. And the most important part is the plot. It has got a shocking ending. The weak point is that some events develop too fast. However, I strongly recommend it to you if you like novels about friendship. By the way, if you have read Cengiz Aytmatov's "Beyaz Gemi" and liked it, then you must definitely read this book too.

Have you read "Of Mice and Men" before? If yes, you can tell me what you think about it in the comment section. 

Thanks for reading. Goodbye!

My Favourite Place in Gaziantep

Hello, In this blog post, I'm going to write about my favourite place in Gaziantep. It's called " Hayri Tütüncüler ". It is a park and a garden opposite "Harikalar Diyarı", the famous theme park. It's huge. There are cafés, basketball courts, a football field and picnic areas there. You can ride your bike, play basketball, go running or go on a picnic there. You can have your picnic on benches or grasses. It's my favourite place because I can play basketball and ride my bike there. These are my hobbies. And I can sit and relax on its beautiful grasses. You're not allowed to have barbecue, but you can have a light picnic. I go there once a week, usually on Saturday or Sunday. I sometimes go there alone to ride a bike or play basketball, but I usually go there with my family. I last went there two months ago. I was alone. I rode my bike but did not play basketball. I think you should go there too because it's a perfect place to spend your free

It is called  Terminator 2 - The Judgment Day , and it is the second film of the Terminator sequel. It is a science-fiction film, and it was released in 1991. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the good robot, Robert Patrick, the bad robot and Linda Hamilton starred in the film. Edward Furlong is the child star. It was directed by James Cameron (the director of Titanic and Avatar), and Brad Fiedel made its epic music.
