Theme: Humans are cursed with an inevitable worry for their past, present, and future.

Device and Quote: DESCRIPTION: "Still you are blessed, compared with me!/ The present only touches you"

Analysis: Humans are constantly stressed due to their consciousness. Unlike the mouse, we are led to overthinking rather than living in the present. Ultimately, leading to our own mental destruction.

# data[].attributes.body
Theme: Life does not guarantee the success of your set plan.

Detail: "Oh, what a panic is in your breast! You need not start away so hasty"

The significance of this line is that it conveys the message that although life does not go your way, you need not react out of fear or panic. You should assess your options before you hastily react, so that the situation does not worsen.

Theme: The future is unpredicted that our hard work may not always give us the result we want.
Quote: "You thought to dwell, / Till crash! the cruel plough passed" (Stanza 5 lines 4-5)
Shift: This conveys the theme because the mouse thought it was going to have a stable home; however, due to life's unexpected turn, it did not go as plan. There is an emphasis on "Till crash," which shows how it was unpredicted.

theme: Consciousness of the fearful past, present, and the future is what keeps people from dreaming.
Shift: "But little Mouse, you are not alone," (Stanza 7, line 1).
Analysis: It compares how mice and men are alike in the context of their life's plans. They have to adapt to their consciousness of the real world to thrive.

Theme: Times can get tough, but we can only prepare for what we know

Device: Syntax

Quote: Stanza 3

Analysis: The author uses syntax in order to portray how the mouse is preparing for survival. Tough times will come and the mouse is only doing what he knows and planning for what he can.

Theme: Not every plan is set in stone

Juxtaposition: "And leave us nothing but grief and pain, For promised joy!"

Grief is typically the sole companion to agonizing events. The mouse's house, in this poem, was destroyed in a pivotal time where they needed it the most. In order to see the light in a field of darkness, people need to embrace the pain.

"I'm truly sorry man's dominion / Has broken Nature's social union" This line conveys the theme because it shows the connection between man and nature, and how man has affected natures function. This conveys the theme because the mouse needed to persevere, even when something bad or unexpected happens.

Stanza 6 Line 3-4. "Now you are turned out, for all your trouble, without house or holding."
Life's chaos has caused him to be out in the cold for the day struggling till he finds his solution and shelter. He counted on his home to protect him, but that proved to be a fatal mistake.

Theme: We have to learn to adapt to new life's trials and tribulations.

descriptive detail/imagery: stanza 6, lines 1,2,5, and 6. The desolate lands around the mice show how cruel Burns's actions were. Mixed with the starting description where the small mice was shown, Burns left a tiny mouse out to die in the harsh cold.

Burns's actions led to a harsh consequence for someone else. That feeling of guilt accompanied with his action is something that will stick with him forever.

It also shows the unpredictability of life itself. The mouse's life changed in a second in a disaster caused by man.

# data[].attributes.body
Theme: The future is uncertain.

Shift: "But oh! I cast my backward cast my eye"

The shift from praising the mouse's luckiness to fearing for change demonstrates the envy he has for the mouse being able to only worry about the present. Compared to himself, he fears for what has to come as unlike the mouse, he not only has to worry for the present but also the uncertainty of the future.

Lines 5 and 6: "And leave us nothing but grief and pain, For promised joy!"

This detail about the emotions evoked by unexpected events conveys the theme which is "Life doesn't always go as planned". This represents how expectations sometimes lead to disappointment.

Theme: Life's cruelty spares no living things.
Device: SYMBOLISM "Your small house, too, in ruin!... And nothing now, to build a new one" The destruction of the mouse's house symbolizes the unpredictability of life. Brutal things can happen to even the smallest creatures.

# data[].attributes.body
Theme: Unexpected events can happen at any time in the future

Imagery: "Your small house, too, in ruin! / Its feeble walls the winds are scattering!"

Analysis: Everyone experiences unexpected events. The mouse had no way to predict its house would be in ruins, much like we cannot predict certain events.

Theme: Ignorance is bliss.

TACTILE IMAGERY: "Still you are blessed, compared with me! / The present only touches you"

The narrator envies the oblivion that the mouse lives in. The mouse only lives in the present, while man has to worry about past, present, and future.
