"...This poem shows how the least fortunate are viewed in society. This book could be about the least fortunate in society helping each other, and the hardships they go through to prevail in life" [taken from one of Alanaj's comments].
I completely agree, and moreover this IS true. Nowadays-and also with the economy-it is becoming a little simpler to differentiate the classes in the society that we live in; whether it be the elite, middle class, and poor. In times like these, we can think about our government and how far the government's have come in accommodating the people. The gov't officials (being the elite) extend their hands and service to us as the people to provide for us because it's their job. This can be one example.
ReplyDeleteNow, in relation to "To A Mouse" and "Of Mice and Men" the farmer-in a way- opens up his heart and gets off of his high horse (meaning his position in society as a human). He looks to the mouse, whose survival he has almost diminished, and apologizes. He shows his sympathy for his mistakes over the mouse's survival and therefore extends his hand to the mouse, just as those in higher society do for those lower. Together, we do share our personal and individual hardships.
