To A Mouse

I believe John Steinbeck called this book "Of Mice and Men" because of the way mice and men are similar. All animals go through the same hardships and times of trouble but one can still live a happy life. Mice are often referred to as bad animals, but they have a hard life filled with grief. This is very similar to human's lives because of how humans always have something to look forward to, and if that is taken away, it is very hard to live a happy life. John Steinbeck refers to life in general in this book. Everyone has dreams that are reachable in a way if one puts their heart to it, but sometimes that goal is not reached. When a goal is not reached, one has to get back up quickly and continue on a new goal.
