What are the most important differences in the use of language in these passages?

Of Men and Mice

An Evil Cradling

They both describe places, one is a cold, dark prison. He is tell ing of his experience in the cell

The other is a thirdperson describing where a farm helper lives . in a barn and the farm he is working on.

Could someone please help with the question, as Im so ready to right, but that question is made me think im writing the wrong information.

Please help

Thanks

How about the use of symbolism- Keenan's text uses Christian imagery, like the fish and the last supper.
