Explanation:
The title of "Of Mice and Men" comes from Burns' poem. In his poem, Burns says that the best-laid plans of mice and men often go wrong. This theme is exemplified in Steinbeck's novel through the plans George and Lenny make.
Throughout the novel, George and Lenny plan to save their money and buy a farm. Lenny is particularly looking forward to having rabbits of his own. They spend a lot of time discussing the farm and the freedom they will soon have. These plans are, as Burns would say, "best-laid," or well planned.
Of course, as Burns' poem says, these plans go wrong. Lenny accidentally kills Curley's wife and must run away. As a result, Lenny dies and George knows in his heart he will never have the farm that he and Lenny had dreamed of for so long. He knows he will spend his money drinking like the other men and trying to forget his troubles.
And so, the best-laid plans of George and Lenny surely went wrong.
Hello there,
Why did the author choose to provide this fictional account of Iqbal Masih, who was a real person? Check all that apply.
Story:
My first impression was that he was handsome. Then I thought, No, he isn't really good-looking. But he had such eyes. They were sweet and deep and they weren't afraid. He was standing at the threshold of the workroom with Hussain Khan's enormous hand gripping his arm and we were all looking at him. The fourteen of us child-slaves plus Karim, all observing another slave. He was one of the many who had come and gone over the years, but we felt that somehow, this new boy was different. He looked around at us, one by one. He was sad, of course, like anyone who has been away from home for a long time, like anyone who is little more than a slave, like anyone who can't imagine what will become of him.
