*Ok, so for all the persons doing this for homework, here's a little resume of the chapter, since it's what I had to do for mine (if you wanna gain 30 minutes of free time x) ) :* The story takes place near the Salinas river, at a few miles south of Soledad, that is located between mountains, and the valley. There are boys, coming from the ranches surrounding. A rabbit sat on the tree, but then ran away. Two men, wearing denim clothes, wearing shapeless hat. The 1rst man, George,was small and quick, darker face with restless eyes, the second, Lenny, a huge man with a shapeless face with large pale eyes. Even if they seem to be pretty close friends, Lenny doesn’t necesserely listen to George, by example when he tells him not to drink the water of the river, because it looks scummy, but he does it anyway. They’re hesitating if they should stop at a ranch at four miles from there, or not, but they’re afraid they might get kicked out. In the end, Lenny ask George where they’re going. George, tease Lenny about his short-memory, since the only thing he can remember everytime are the rabbits. Tho, they’re not afraid to insult each other in some kind of tough-friendly kinda way ? Anyway, they’re planning to work on a ranch, like the one that comes up North in weed. Apparently, Lenny has done some bad things, that got they expelled/fired from their previous job. Even if George admits that Lenny’s kind of a burden for him, since he could get on pretty easely on his own, possibly date a girl, he doesn’t want to let Lenny behind. They’re planning to stay the night here. After Lenny found a (dead) mouse, he finally gave it to George, not without any reticence. He didn’t take it away because he wanted to be mean, but because it wasn’t fresh enough. Lenny need to find a new mouse, fresh this time. Suddently, Lenny remembers that his aunt, Clara, used to give him mouses, but he would always ended up killing them, if it was never or purpose. They were so little, and him too strong. George’s asking Lenny to get him some wood, while it was almost night : their objective is to light up a fire. As Lenny's asking for ketchup (ofc, they don’t have any), George gets extremely mad, and reminds him how he always gets in trouble with him, to the point where he wished he could just put him in a cage, with a million mice. At some point, he calms down, and stop fighting with Lenny. Lenny, propose that he leaves him alone : he could just go up in the hills, someplace he’d find a cave. Eventually, George admits that he wants him to stay with him. Oh, btw, spoiler alert : Aunt Clara’s dead. And guys like them usually don’t have any family, and are the loneliest persons in the world, but them, they both got each other (it's pretty sweet--) They both plan to look over each other. Someday, they plan to have a little house, and some cows, pigs, rabbits etc. But for now, they have to get that job, and Lenny better not say anything at the interview.. Or they might not have the job. But, in the worst case if anything goes wrong, Lenny has to hide in the brush, in the valley they are right now, til George comes for him. Oh and.. One day, they'll have tons of rabbits (green... Blue...) :3 Gl with your homework, I hope this could help a bit :3 !

Oh my gosh thank youuuu

[@Salma-le1yu]

ily for this

[@matthewsmith9881]

My dad just said this was a good book so I read it, and lemme say this was the best audio book I have ever heard with the sound affects and all realy made this story come to life.

[@mattmcgee645]

Thank you so much, Matthew. That really means a lot. This is a hobby that I just do for fun when I have the time, so it's nice to know that other people appreciate it!

[@WaifuDealer]

Ngl this homework sucks but the sound effects make up for it. These sound effects are better than some professional movie companies.

[@mattmcgee645]

Wow, thank you SO MUCH! That really means a lot. This was my first time experimenting with sound effects, and I'm quite happy with how it turned out!

[@jessicaevans6103]

this is by far the best audio book for OMAM

[@mattmcgee645]

Thank you so much, Jessica. That really means a lot. I hope to find more time later this year to record the rest of the story.

Thank you wonderful story telling ❤️

[@vilemmezera7080]

Still looking forward to another chapter!

[@lolakay1180]

A lovely audio chapter! My students all loved listening to it. Thank you for a wonderful introduction to this amazing novel.

[@kimquinn7728]

My goodness, I know it takes time to create these recordings but 4 years? This is a small book. You have a warm and relaxed voice. Please finish. Lenny and George deserve it.

[@jasmineflower6318]

This is the best audio book for this story... I always have trouble reading, but with the sound effects, this helps so much!

[@slapshot68]

Actually the one with Gary Sinise narrating was better

[@michellemunoz9931]

most perfect reading... Thanks!

[@owenmartin651]

Thanks for good story

[@RobinLange-f4i]

Hi Matt....sure wish you would have recorded all 6 chapters of "Of Mice and Men". My students really enjoyed all the sound effects and the expressions you used while reading.

doing homework😢😢

[@mishapadilla8157]

Hello! I'm a teacher and have taught this book many times. In the past I've used Audible to cover the book. Now that I've found this version I don't want to believe that there are no more chapters!! This is the best recording ever, please consider recording the rest. I'm wondering if you decided not to continue due to the language? If so, you can censor it to your liking. I myself skip over the first part of chapter 2 and explain why I chose to do so. Anyway...I would gladly pay for a copy. Best ever! Also, consider doing Old Man and the Sea. It's also short and has plenty of possibilities for sound effects.

[@celineskincarebeauties]

Hello, do you know when you might be out with chap 2? I really need it for school! Please let me know!!

[@justinmorris3303]

nobody asked

[@mattmcgee645]

Hi there! Unfortunately, I'm really not sure when I'll be able to do more recording. It's difficult to find the time between work and the classes I'm taking, and I still need to set up my recording studio in my apartment. That will take time and money, neither of which I have right now, haha. HOPEFULLY I can begin working on it in the next few months.

[@danielsennett2657]

My favourite book of all time

[@natashafletcher9994]

Why only one chapter? It was so good!

[@peanotchio6750]

Matt I just don't understand why you would only voice one chapter..

[@mattmcgee645]

Haha, it's never been my intention to stop at one chapter. Recording and editing is a very time-intensive process for me, and I feel like I rarely have the spare time to continue. Trust me, I do intend to finish this story, and I also have several others I plan to do!
