This book the exactly situation. George and Lennie who are the main characters of this story are living together, and they connect each other to use an animal, mouse. The author of “Of Mice and Men”, John Steinbeck, uses the word, mice as a title even it doesn't have deep meaning in the story. The symbol of mouse in the title and the story is the powerlessness of weak people.

First of all, people always want to depend on something especially for weak people. They think they are weak or have no power so that want to be protected by someone or make them feel security. For Lennie, he is also depending on something for consolation as pet something which is very soft like some people likes to bite their fingers or eat sweet food. To read the beginning part of the book, there has a reference about the mouse. It is one of Lennie's consolation subjects in the book. From Of Mice and Men, a sentence tells Lennie was attached the mouse. "I could pet it with my thumb while we walked along." said Lennie (on page 6). The reason that Lennie is attached the mouse is because the mouse has a soft and tender skin. When Lennie pets the mouse, he feels comfortable so he keeps the mouse in his pocket until Goerge throws the mouse. Lennie is a big and strong guy, but his mind is very weak.

That mouse ain't fresh, Lennie; and besides, you're broke it pettin it. You get another mouse that's fresh and I'll let you keep it a little while." Readers can figure out that George was worried about Lennie. The way for him to protect Lennie is a little bit awkward, and he is not very kind to face other people, so he throws the mouse right away. However, everything is because of Lennie. Lennie keeps pet the mouse, the mouse is starting to rot, and George knows it. George worries about Lennie's health, finally he throws the mouse to the darkening brush. Also, here has another quote that George and Lennie are depending on each other. Lennie broke in. "But not us! An' why? because... because I got you to look after me, and you got me after you, and that's why." He laughed delightedly. "Go on now, Goerge!" That's the quote of George and Lennie, the weak people, care themselves. From these reasons, the mouse is a medium to help make a connection between George and Lennie.

In conclusion, the Steinbeck's purpose of using the mouse as a title is because he wants to show the dependence between Goerge and Lennie. They are weak and have no power.

Tracy's Editing There's no valueless thing in the world. The background of this novel is the Great Depression in USA. During the Great Depression, people were hard to live because the cost of living is high but people hard to get a job. For this reason, normally people are depending on each ohter. This book is same. George and Lennie who are the main character of this story are living together to connect an animal, mouse**.(What’s the meaning of this sentence, I understood that mouse as an animal has a strong relationship with Lennie, but this sentence may make readers misunderstand that they live together because of a mouse.)** The author of Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck, uses the word, mice as a title even it doesn't have deep meaning in the story. **(From my opinion ,it does have a deep meaning because of the allusion that John uses from the poem.)**The symbol of mouse in the title and the story is the powerlessness of weak people.


 * Tracy’s advice: What’s your thesis statement of this essay,”There’s no valueless thing in the world.” Or “ The symbol of mouse in the title and the story is the powerlessness of weak people.” What do you want to tell the readers? I think you could make it clearer. **

First of all, people always want to depend on something especially for weak people. They think they are weak or have no power so that want to be protected by someone or make them feel security.

Through the example of Lennie's consolation to a mouse, weak people want to depend on something that makes people feel comfortable.

Next, the mouse represents Goerge's protection to Lennie. See the weak people, they are standing with a protector. In the book, the protector of Lennie is Goerge.

An' why? because... because I got you to look after me, and you got me after you, and that's why." He laughed delightedly. "Go on now, Goerge!" **(This shows that George and Lennie have each other, but how this connect to the mouse, it did not mention that because of mouse, George protects Lennie, so I think I could change to another quote that relates to the mouse.**) That's the quote of George and Lennie, the weakness people, take care themselves. From these reasons, the mouse is a medium to help make a connection between George and Lennie.
 * Tracy **** ’s advice: It seems like the body paragraph 1 attached to the symbol of mice, I think you could make it clearer in the first paragraph. **

In conclusion, the Steinbeck's purpose of using the mouse as a title is because he wants to show the dependent between Goerge and Lennie. They are weak and have no power. Usually powerless people want to depend on something that can be protected by their fear. In the Of Mice and Men, Lennie like to pet the mouse to make him feel comfortable like a consolation, and the mouse is used as an medium between the weak people, Lennie and George.
