Of Mice and a Woman I’ve been afraid of mice for as long as I can remember. Spotting a mouse in my home on those rare winter occasions evoked hell in me. My heart would beat rapidly and I’d sweat profusely, yet all the moisture in my mouth would disappear. I actually think I’d be calmer walking past a lion pride than a mouse infested field. The lion is symbolically the king of the jungle.
I’m not a writer, I’m a monkey! I’m supposed to be swinging on tree branches and digging up ants, not sitting under fluorescent lights ten hours a day (Ives 1635)! Similarly in the movie Office Space, the main character Peter cries, “Humans were not meant to sit in little cubicles starring at computer screens all day filling out useless forms and listening to eight different bosses drone on about mission statements”(Office). Mike Judge has experience directing actors in the movie Office Space who go through the same kind of frustrations the characters in the play experience.

Boo Radley is the main one; he is closed away from society for almost all of his life; however, when he was a little boy, he would be seen with his mom sometimes.

Furthermore, when Boo notices the kids play around his house all the time, he gets enough courage to go out and put gifts in a tree hole, but when Jem starts taking those gifts, Scout doesn’t feel right about it indeed “neighbors bring food with dead and flowers with sickness and little things in between. Boo was our neighbor, he gave us gifts and most importantly our lives, but neighbors give in return, we gave him nothing and it made me sad” (Lee 293).
