    The first issue presented in Jetty Rats is family. When Hunter was eight years old his father was swept out to sea while fishing on the rocks. He had broken the golden rule of rock hopping: “Thou Shalt Not Fish On Your Own”. Hunter was so certain his father would return that after the accident he would “...wait for him. Sit underneath the ‘VACENCY’ sign until mum tells me to come inside. The next day and the next day and the next day, I wait for him.” He didn’t accept the fact that his father was gone forever until the end of…

    ""¦The best laid schemes of mice and men, Go oft astray"¦ ." This quote is taken from the 1785 poem "To A Mouse." The poem depicts the fleeing of a mouse in terror as a plow, driven by Robert Burns, the author, destroys its nest. Through the mouse's tribulations Burns proceeds to console the mouse, telling it not to worry because plans often go wrong. George Steinbeck, a 20th century author, took this line to heart when he wrote the novel Of Mice and Men. The story depicts two ranch hands trying to get a stake to purchase their own ranch. Although they had a well-laid scheme, like the mouse in the poem, Curley's wife's and George and Lennie's plans go astray.…

    Firstly, the title of any novel can hold great significance. Initially, the title “Of Mice and Men” seems ambiguous until you analyze the story and understand the reasoning behind Steinbeck choice of title. Mice are small, fragile creatures that require protection; a description that could also define characters such as Lennie, Curley’s wife or Crooks – the “mice”. The novel deals with a lot of death, however, ironically a mouse is the first creature to be crushed by Lennie’s hands. This again suggests the “mice” in the novel would not be smart or strong enough to survive the Depression. In contrast, the tough, smart characters such as George and Slim are the “men.” The Great Depression could be seen as the survival of the fittest; the weak against the strong – the “mice” vs. the “men.”…

    John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men is a novella filled with complex underlining themes and ideas about society and the intriguing concept known as the American Dream. A well-known quote once said by George Orwell states that “Most people get a fair amount of fun out of their lives, but on balance life is suffering, and only the very young or the very foolish imagine otherwise.” What this quote is saying is that most people have their share of fun in life and enjoy themselves as much as they can, however on a realistic and practical note life isn’t full of happiness alone because along with the fun comes trials, tribulations, and only the younger in mind or naïve people fail to realize this. This quote is evident in many places throughout the novel. As we read we see that only the wiser of the ranch hands, were able to recognize reality and come to an understanding that achieving the American Dream is not all fun and games and there is a strong possibility they may not even reach their goal.…

    During the 1930’s in America, at the time of the Great Depression, John Steinbeck, an ordinary migrant worker wrote perhaps the shortest but well known novel – Of Mice And Men. I think Steinbeck was influenced by the poem “To A Mouse”, because the novel and poem are slightly alike. They both have dreams and determination but in the end, both are destroyed. In the novel, Steinbeck shows us that dreams are futile. You only have the dream because you are being optimistic and having a dream might make life seem easier for you. But if your dream is destroyed, then life seems difficult and meaningless.…

    In the novel Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck places a lot of characters as having free will and determinism when in all truth they have none. The author uses stereotypes and discrimination to convey a message of how they are trapped. To quote a quite distinguished reader, “Characters are ‘trapped’ either by what others think of them, or by their situation.” A lot of the character’s feelings about themselves and what others think of them shows the extent of their freedom and determinism.…

    Of Mice and Men is a novel written by John Steinbeck in which we are introduced to two men heading for a ranch to make a living and find their way. Lennie is a tall, strong man with little to no intelligence. He is often undermined and does everything under the command of his friend George, who is small, but also very strong. The title of this novel is said to have come from an ode written by Robert Burns entitled “To a Mouse”. In this poem there is a line that states “The best laid plans of Mice and Men, often go awry, and leave us nothing but grief and pain, for the joy we expected.” This shares a close relation with plans that George and Lennie had laid out for themselves about arriving on the ranch to work. George and Lennie had a dream to one day own their own land and live in their own house. On this land Lennie would tend the rabbits and George would do the other work. Lennie was overly excited about this plan because he had a love for anything that was soft, much like mice, rabbits and other animals with fur. However, Lennie had a bad habit of getting himself into trouble, always unintended he put a lot of stress on George and his relationship with the other workers. George often talked about how much easier life would be if he didn’t have Lennie to look after, so when Lennie killed a poor innocent woman on accident he took it upon himself to kill Lennie, because it would have caused him more hurt to see anyone else do it. By putting Lennie out and saving him a lifetime in prison George abandoned all the plans he and Lennie had set out for themselves in the future. They both had always looked forward to the dream they wanted to achieve, and now that Lennie was gone none of it would ever be the same. George couldn’t go on with the plans without Lennie; his heart would hurt knowing that the one person who was most excited about getting their own ranch couldn’t be…

    Steinbeck illustrates the gruelling and unrewarding life of a migrant worker, through a microcosm of society, shown in the novel. Simple, yet ultimately thwarted dreams, are left unaccomplished due to economic and ecological problems such as the Wall Street Crash, leading to the Great Depression, and the high levels of unemployment, poverty, homelessness, influencing Steinbeck to write the novel. The themes of loneliness and dreams: foreshadowed by Robert Burns' poem, 'To A Mouse', gives the reader an understanding that well-laid plans often go wrong, the name coming from, "the best-laid schemes of mice and men gang aft agley", summarising the principal themes throughout the novel.…

    One April morning, Martha House, president of Trap-Ease, entered her office in Moncton, New Brunswick. She paused for a moment to contemplate the Ralph Waldo Emerson quotation that she had framed and hung near her desk: “If a man [can] make a better mousetrap than his neighbor … the world will make a beaten path to his door.” Perhaps, she mused, Emerson knew something that she didn’t. She had the better mousetrap—Trap-Ease—but the world didn’t seem all that excited about it.…
