world perfectly. This prejudice has been around
for thousands of years because it is just human

Of Mice And Men there are several different levels
of prejudice shown, all contributing to the
failure of the American dream. The main types of
prejudice shown in this novel are racial, sexual
and social pre...

Loneliness The most terrible poverty is
loneliness, and the feeling of being unloved
(Mother Teresa). Loneliness is an easily
perceivable concept in John Steinbeck's Of Mice
and Men. It can be well understood by observing
the feelings and behaviors of the characters
George, Crooks, and Curly's Wife. Primarily,
constant affiliation with other people would not
result in loneliness. However, in Steinbeck's Of
Mice and Men a select group of characters find

... away. In the two novels, very different
narrative techniques are used. In Of Mice and Men,
the story is written in third person view, like an
observer. This technique does not draw you into
the story very quickly. It is clear from the
writing that Steinbeck is calling on previous
experiences. He is basically writing about what he
has witnessed and experienced as he went through
the Great Depression. Steinbeck's simple writing
style shows what it was like during the Great
Depression. Steinbec...

However, in his childish perspective of the world
he misses out on the dark and permanent side of
