Of Mice and Men: Owlsgate 35s Study Guide

The very familiarity of Steinbeck’s famous novella can be a problem: the story is simple, its emotional impact strong and clear. Yet 'Of Mice and Men' is more subtle than is often realised. With such a text, you need overview and depth to make your essay or exam answer stand out. In 35 comprehensible and easily-digested topics, this Owlsgate guide covers everything you need to know and pulls it all together: background, character, style, themes, structure, narration, analysis of individual sections, and the roles of nature, racism and sexism. As ever with Owlsgate 35s, there's advice on tackling essays and exam questions.
All author proceeds from Owlsgate Publications are devoted to charities, including (to date) War on Want, Ahrweiler Tafel, Mary's Meals, Deutschland Hilft, Merlin Medical Charity, VFG Bonn, Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research, Geschichtslehrpfad Bremen and the St-Martin-in-the-Fields Christmas Appeal.
