    presented in Of Mice and Men? 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

    Notes up to page 9 5.11.12 Page 3 – On this page I thought that John Steinbeck described the overall setting of the place. “A few miles south of Soledad‚ the Salinas River drops in close to the hillside bank and runs deep and green.” Straightaway Steinbeck sets the scene and puts us in place. The description on this page is visual and also audial. The writer achieves this by saying‚ “recumbent limbs” and “skittering”. Steinbeck personifies the trees branches by saying they are “recumbent limbs”.

    Mice And Men - Tension (a) Steinbeck handles the mounting tension in a dramatic way‚ hinting at the fact that he deliberately wrote the novel to be easily adapted for the stage. Immediately before the start of the passage‚ we see Slim angrily rebuffing the suggestion that he has been with Curley’s wife‚ and Curley fearfully trying to appease him. This is so difficult for a man like Curley‚ proud‚ permanently tense‚ and feeling he has to prove himself‚ that his anger erupts when Carlson offers his
