Failure‚ believe it or not‚ was of the many presented themes discussed in both the book and the poem. Well‚ not failure...but being able to accept things.

"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
