The poem “To a Mouse” by Robert Burns is obviously about a man talking to a field mouse whose nest he has just destroyed with a plow. The man feels bad for destroying the mouse’s home and apologizes for what has happened. The deeper meaning of the poem is that no matter how much preparation goes into planning for the future, fate, or even someone else’s plan, can get in the way and demolish your plans. Burns compares the mouse and the man to one another in saying, “The best-laid schemes of mice and men/ Go often astray,” (Burns 39-40). The mouse in the poem worked hard to build its nest in preparation for the winter it was to endure in the future.
The mice then decide to immigrate to America. In Animal Farm, the humans come back and try to take over control, but in An American Tail the mice do not return to fight. The final way I found they were different was that in An American Tail, the youngest mouse gets lost from its family while immigrating to America. The mouse gets taken in by other mice, but he tries very hard and searches constantly for his family. In Animal Farm, no animals get lost, and they also don’t take any animals in.

Candy comes in and talks to Lennie about the rabbits they will have on their own land. Curley’s Wife comes in and talks about how she never get to talk to anyone and how she’s lonely.
