Mice of Men Exam

Between the line

Motif

Q 1. Find something that occurs over and over during the book and explain what it resembles.

When reading the book I noticed every time they were caught having a conversation they were playing cards. To win a card game you either do three things, your good, your lucky or you cheat. Thats how I think life resembles in this book. Your either good like slim seems to be or your lucky like Curley is.

Theme

Q 2.  Why do you think this book's theme is the impossibility of the American Dream?

It doesn't necessary show that the American Dream can't happen, it shows it's a struggle and 

that you may never get there. Look at slim he is perfectly happy with his own dream, working on the farm. 

However, Lennie and George's dream is to have their own state, with their own animals, which we find out 

eventually will never happen. George and Lennie's dream will never happen but doesn't mean others will. 

I think the theme was to focus on the failure of their dream.
