Symbols of mice and men

There are many symbols in the movie and story Of Mice and men. I chose The farm as a symbol for 2 reasons theres success, and promised land.


The reason i think there is success is because no matter what kind of person you are you will always have success on the farm for all the work you put into it. Take Lennie for example he was one of their best workers. No matter how handicapped he was many men respected him and even though he mesed up more than once he was still very succesful at the farm and was very nice to everybody nomatter who they were.
The farm is promised land because everyone there have a place to eat and sleep not depending on who you are or what work you do on the farm. If you are a part of the farm then no matter how long you work there or have ben there that land or the bed you sleep on would never be taken from you. Just like Candy he is the oldest person on the farm and has been working there every since he was young and even though he cant do much work on the farm anymore he still is able to live there and eat there like its his own home. Also Crooks he is the only African American on the farm. He doesnt do anything much other than keep the stable and horses together they can easily get rid of him and hire one of the workers but since he's there he has everything he had when he first got there.

In conclusion as you can see the farm is one of the most related symbols in the story and movie because there are plenty of examlpes to support that no matter what they are.
