Mentally impaired people are worthless and cannot function like regular people.

People who are strong know their strength and could hurt other people if they wanted to.

It is unnatural for people to have an attachment or strong feelings toward an animal.

The purpose in life is to strive for and reach our dreams.

Killing another person is intolerable and should be punished.

Running away from a crime is never acceptable.

Style of Novel Some call the book a play-novelette –He starts each scene with a description of the setting, much like a play is staged around its sets

Language of the novel Since the story is about laborers, it is appropriate that their dialogue is unrefined and realistic –Slang, profanity, and uneducated pronunciation –The coarseness of the language contrasts with the tender motives of the main characters

Point of View Story is told through third person, objective point of view –Reader is not directly let in on the thoughts of the character or their feelings about themselves and others –Reader must draw his/her own conclusions –Helps reader feel the information presented is in a straightforward manner and that no information has been left out

Setting –The time is during the Depression years, when people had little but the clothes on their backs –Many were homeless and wandered the countryside picking up odd jobs The place is a small ranch near Salinas River in California.

Themes in the Novel Friendship Loneliness Indifference of the world Worth of an individual

Title The title Of Mice and Men is an allusion to a Robert Burns poem titled To a Mouse In the poem, one significant line reads the best laid schemes of mice and men often go awry. Keep this in mind as the story unfolds. Determine for yourself how this relates.
