To George it’s important because it’s his opportunity to stop running from issues, if there are no issues, there is no running. The farm will be their place to settle down. The book focuses so heavily on the idea of the farm because it’s an unrealistic expectation of a future many people couldn’t achieve for it’s time period. It got personal and honest, representing everything you work for and the rewards you reap from it. ]]> 2023-05-17 16:25:16 UTC https://padlet.com/michellepetersen/bib15fmkc4szmmg8/wish/2594980125 https://padlet.com/michellepetersen/bib15fmkc4szmmg8/wish/2594980209 Curley’s wife is a tramp.

Mice are driven out of their home and disliked solely for what they are, and generally, lots of people don’t have an understanding of the impacts that they have; both on the environment and on other organisms.
Since the story focuses solely on poor working men, those who often hop from job to job, they are the mice.
