A. Buying a piece of land all their own with rabbits

Explanation

George and Lennie are working toward buying a piece of land all their own with rabbits. This dream is mentioned multiple times throughout the novel "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck. They envision a place where they can live off the land, be their own bosses, and have the freedom to do as they please. Lennie especially is drawn to the idea of tending to the rabbits and taking care of them. This dream represents their longing for stability, independence, and a sense of belonging in a world that often feels harsh and unforgiving.

Explanation
This novel is set in California during the Great Depression, which took place in the 1930s. The Great Depression was a time of economic hardship and widespread poverty in the United States, and California was particularly affected by the economic downturn. The mention of the Dust Bowl also suggests that the novel takes place during this time period, as the Dust Bowl was a severe drought and dust storm that occurred in the 1930s and affected agricultural regions in the Midwest and Great Plains, including California.

A. Allusion

Explanation

The title of a novel can often be an example of allusion, which refers to a reference or mention of a person, event, or piece of literature that is not directly stated. In this case, the title of the novel is likely referencing or alluding to something outside of the story itself, perhaps drawing upon a well-known phrase, historical event, or another work of literature. This use of allusion in the title can provide readers with a deeper understanding or connection to the themes or ideas explored in the novel.
