Rowlandson and sumiko
In her narrative, Mary Rowlandson represented indigenous people as savages who captured her, separated her from her family, killed her daughter, and starved her. However, their treatment of her could be due to being at war with colonizers who took their land. In Weedflower, Sumiko and her Japanese family are sent to internment camps, despite none being spies. Though born in America, Sumiko's citizenship and loyalty were questioned due to her ethnicity. Both works show how indigenous people and Japanese Americans were misrepresented and faced discrimination, despite doing nothing wrong.

Background and Overview - Of Mice and Men
John Steinbeck was born in 1902 in Salinas, California. During the Great Depression, many farmers in the Great Plains lost their farms due to drought and financial hardship. Hundreds of thousands migrated west to California seeking work, hoping to find opportunity. The novel follows George and Lennie, two migrant ranch workers in California in the 1930s who dream of owning their own farm. Lennie's accidental killing of a ranch owner's wife jeopardizes their dream. The story examines themes of the American Dream, powerlessness, and human compassion in difficult times.
Of mice and men background
