- Steinbeck: Was concerned by lives of poor people but lots of his books were banned in USA
- Structure: Simple chronological novel - there are no flashbacks making it simple to understand.

- Title: Links to a poem of same name by Robert Burns and that the best laid plans are often ruined by mice and men.
- Dialogue: Dialogue used is colloquial (everyday type of speaking) - makes it realistic
- Sounds: Background noise used like Laughing and Shouting
