Huckleberry Finn, being an honest young boy, expresses the true side of himself, because he does not feel he needs to hide anything about himself yet.

John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men is a timeless classic. Within the novel emerges many themes and life lessons: loneliness, friendship, survival, and more.

In the book, Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, one possible theme is “It’s important to live in the present but also dream about the future.” I have pulled five quotes that portray this theme. They all explain how both Lennie and George dream, but that Lennie is the big day dreamer. They both want to work towards living and owning their own ranches with a lot of rabbits. My first quote focuses on how George is always helping Lennie and giving him advice. He also encourages him to work for something big in the future.
