Best Answer

The country was in the middle of a depression so a lot of people were going from town to town doing temporary jobs, like George and Lennie, for a living.

Also, people were extremely racist, as you can tell from the way that Crooks was treated by the men on the ranch.

Life in general was very hard for most Americans.

During the time "Of Mice and Men" was set (1930s), America was facing the Great Depression, characterized by widespread poverty, high unemployment rates, and economic instability. Many people struggled to find work and provide for their families, leading to a sense of hopelessness and despair. Discrimination and segregation were also prevalent, particularly towards marginalized groups like minorities and the disabled.

Although mice do like to eat cheese, for the most part they do not get a lot of cheese to eat. Cheese is made by people, and people try to store their cheese in a way that will protect it from mice.

Note that mice also have an extremely active life style, and spend little if any time watching television or typing on computer keyboards, unlike myself.
