How do the mice serve as a symbol in "My Father's Song" by Simon Ortiz?

The mistreatment that Thomas endures on the reservation lets Alexie suggest that storytelling is a dangerous practice that should be avoided when possible.

By depicting Thomas as less intelligent than Victor, Alexie shows that even the best storytellers do not always understand the full meaning of the tales they tell.

By showing that Thomas does not have a job or a family, Alexie demonstrates that people who spend their time wrapped up in stories are likely to be unprepared for the struggles of real life.

The stories that Thomas tells and his desire to be listened to allow Alexie to show that telling and listening to stories is an important way people shape and understand their lives.
