Please help!! How does Of Mice and Men address American culture?

[svc52]

I have trouble relating how Of Mice and Men relate to American culture! Any help would be appreciate.

How does the book relate to aspect/issue/development of American Culture? Any list of words that describe how it is related? Any examples?

Thanks

Well, one of the underlying themes in all Steinbeck's novels is the importance of doing one's own homework.

Well, one of the underlying themes in all Steinbeck's novels is the importance of doing one's own homework.

In fact, Steinbeck felt so strongly on the matter, he took it upon himself to travel across the USA with just his faithful dog Charley, just so he could write a firsthand account of his experiences; he didn't want to rely on mere hearsay.

Of Mice and Men is a short work; it shouldn't take much time to read it and find the answer without shortcuts that really aren't in the best interest of any student.

It's an awesome novel. I think I'll re-read it tonight.

Where are you supposed to be getting your concept of American culture for relating to the novel?

I dont have the book but I placed it on hold. I have to give examples on how it relate to American culture by tomorrow. But I decided to choose The Outsiders for American culture instead
