I think the author added rebellion of culture as a theme because we’re so used to following our ways and not rebelling against culture and it mixes us up from what we’re used too and intrigues us.

Also, I think the author argues it is ok to rebel to protect someone else from harm. Many people in the chrysalids rebel from their culture and society, these are just some examples of why the author lets rebellion happen.

Power plays a strong, influential factor throughout the novel Of Mice and Men. Power is behind the change of character's behavior and thoughts, it is the deciding factor in many decisions, and it controls the hierarchical organization of characters.
