Does winter destroy more than we think it does? In both the poem "To a Mouse" and the book "Of Mice and Men" there is a winter of a sort that causes mass destruction.In the poem "To a Mouse," the farmer talks about how the mouse will not be able to rebuild his home before winter hits. The winter would be so bad and the mouse would just be left out in the cold, with everything taken from him.
In the book "Of Mice and Men," the winter from the poem is used as a metaphor to describe the Great Depression. Everyone had already made plans for their life and was trying to make something of themselves, but once the Great Depression hit they were too, left out in the cold.
