The correct answers for the questions about John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" (1937) are the following:

1. The rabbits are an example of symbolism: they represent George's and Lennie's dream for a better life. The symbolize a better future, self-sufficiency, freedom and happiness, but for Lennie it is access to soft and furry things. It is also a fraught symbol that will never be realized, because Lennie tends to hurt and kill everything he pets.

2. The details from chapter 1 that foreshadow trouble at George and Lennie's new job are all of the above. We learn that they have lost every job they ever had because of Lennie's behaviour and that they had to run away from the last job because of this. Then George, foreshadowing what could happen with the next one, he tells Lennie where to go if it happens again.

3. Steinbeck uses dialect to lend authenticity to the character in Of Mice and Men. Paying attention to the geographical and historical setting, and since the characters are farmworkers with little or no formal education, they speak in a certain way, using the typical dialect and diction of wandering farmhands. It can also be seen in the use of farm machinery references and slang.

4. Lennie is the more brusque and impervious character

5. Lennie likes to keep mice in his pocket.

6. Lennie is compared to various animals throughout the first chapter.

7. George and Lennie are farmhands.

8. The incident that happened at their previous job and to wich Geroge alludes is that Lennie made a girl scream.

9. What George and Lennie have that others don't is that they have each other so they aren't lonely.
