Of Mice and Men ends much the same way it began: with rich, lyrical descriptions of the local geography and landscape. Salinas means "salt marsh" in Spanish. Marshy waters make up much of what Steinbeck describes in the novel. At the end of the book, Lennie and George meet at a watering hole, their secret spot.

However, as migrant workers, Lennie and George cannot become attached to any one area.

This simple line carries with the weight of the history of social inequality: Carroll endeavors his readers to look into history how
Travelling America: The Diaries of John Steinbeck and Jean Baudrillard America has long been considered the "land of opportunity," which makes it in turn, an opportune place to travel and explore.

Previous to Darwin, it has been considered that animals had nothing in connection with humans, since their brutish behavior had been very different from the sociable and civilized one displayed by people. French philosopher Rene Descartes apparently thought of animals to be nothing but machines that acted in conformity to the same laws to which inanimate matter had functioned. Quite the reverse happened when concerning humans, as, in spite
