Translation: The best laid schemes of mice and men often go wrong And leave us nothing but grief and pain, Instead of promised joy! This poem was written by Robert Burns.

LO: Can I predict what the novel might be about? Can I relate the novel to 1930s America? John Steinbeck was born in Salinas, California, and many of his novels are set in this part of the USA. He was born into a middle-class family but left university without taking a degree. Before finding success as a writer he worked in a variety of labouring jobs.
