George Bailey's Dream

All in all, do not give up dream before we put our effort in it since nurture is more important than nature.

Lennie and George's dream is a second chance for characters that ultimately know they don’t have one. Candy, because he is crippled, seeks a new life with Lennie and George on their farm, where he will have purpose. When talking about helping to buy the

This is the first mention we have of the American dream. Even from the introduction, it seems Lennie is more excited than George about the prospect. George’s easy dismissal of "them rabbits" makes it seem as though he thinks the whole thing is silly. This will get more difficult as we realize that George might be as excited about the dream as Lennie; it seems he is just more cautious about that excitement, given that he’s more knowledgeable than his companion.

The American Dream is being able to live a life in which you are very happy with and able to do what one desires. George has foreseen their American dream for a while. The American Dream takes a lot of work effort and perseverance, being able to work through a tough time and overcoming the matter is what the American Dream is all about. After making the many sacrifices and overcoming the obstacles that were ahead and ones sees the finish line great success is achieved. George desires of buying his own piece of land and a house and being able to provide for himself shows a great sense for the American Dream.

Rameck always believed that a girl would never be able to break his heart, that was true until he met a woman named Kay. They met at a party and when he spotted her it was almost as if was love at first sight. They got really serious until one day she told him she had another boyfriend who was a football jock. Rameck was crushed. Kay was the kind of woman who needed her man all the time so when he started medical school he knew he didn’t have time for her so they didn’t get back together.

George Milton’s ‘American Dream’ is to have his own land and live a better life with his best friend Lennie. George is pretty resourceful, he came up with a plan to procreate

He gets his freedom, and he gets to ruin himself, and own a few acers. Lastly, to Candy, the dream is for him to be able to work the garden, and to live in a relaxed environment because he thinks that soon, the boss will let him go. A quote from the story to show how much Lenny likes hearing their American Dream is , and to show how important the American Dream means to him is “’Tell me like you done before.’ ‘Tell you what?’ ‘About the Rabbits’ George snapped ‘You ain’t gonna put nothing over me.’ Lennie pleaded ‘Come on George. Tell me. Please George. Like you done before’” (pg 13). This quote from the story shows how much Lennie believed in the dream. His mental disability made him act a lot younger than his actual age, he dreams a lot and can easily be tricked by what people say. He is very fragile and short tempered, like a young child can be. But also like a child, he believes in dreams, he still has the innocence and pureness, which causes him to have faith, and trust in the dream. A quote that shows that George is believes in the American Dream is “Maybe you’re gettin’ better. When we get a coupla acres I

Right from the start of the novel, Lennie and George’s dream was made very clear to the reader. Their dream was to save money to buy their own ranch. They never accomplished this dream because George spent a lot of money on gambling and alcohol. Whereas Lennie was childlike and money or anything else did not bother him at all.

George Bailey is the main protagonist in the film It’s a Wonderful Life. Throughout the movie, we see how George’s actions have affected the town of Bedford Falls. So when George Bailey wishes that he had never been born, it causes many problems with the fate of the characters in Bedford Falls. George Bailey feels as if his life is worthless and he unwisely concludes that he is worth more dead than alive, but little does George know, his life has touched more people than he thinks. By existing and doing what he thinks is right, George Bailey has affected the outcome of the Building and Loan, Mary Hatch, his brother Harry, and Mr. Gower’s career, all the while keeping Mr. Potter from completely taking over Bedford Falls.

In It’s a Wonderful Life, the main character, George Bailey, is a good, giving man who faces a rough patch in his life. I think that this story teaches us a great lesson on being thankful. I liked the part when, at the end, Clarence finishes his job and earns his wings. The part I didn’t like was when George said that he wishes that he was never born. The lesson that It’s a Wonderful Life teaches us about thankfulness is that you need to appreciate how blessed you really are and not to take it for granted. To apply this message to our daily lives, you can focus more on the little things and not so much on the big things. You can do this by focusing more on the house you have and the food that is being provided, rather than focusing on if it’s what you like or not or wanting to own more. George Bailey never got the opportunity to travel the world and build skyscrapers liked he hoped because he feels tied down to the family company he never wanted to own and work for. As George Bailey got older, he began to see everyone grow up to be what they wanted, and he sees all of his youth and opportunities go right past him. George decides to end his life because he believes he is worth more dead than alive. When Clarence, his guardian angel, sees this, he decides to show George what life would be like if he had never existed.

Dreams were a crucial part of the characters’ lives. The characters were not living the life they craved, and it is safe to say that a few of them were depressed. However, their dreams were a source of motivation to them. In chapter one, on page 15, George said "Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world. They got no family. They don 't belong no place. . . With us it ain 't like that. We got a future. We got somebody to talk to that gives a damn about us. We

When you have a desire for anything I believe you will work hard towards it to achieve. All you need it grit, stamina and long term goal. According to Angela Duckworth, “Grit is passion and perseverance for very long term goal.” “Grit is having stamina” “Grit is sticking with your future, day in and day out, not for the week, not for the month, but for years and working real hard to make that future reality” (Duckworth, you tube). Successful students also need stamina to achieve delayed gratification. When you have a stamina, you will have the ability to wait for something and working real hard for a long-term goal.

Some people believe that talent and a winning attitude are all you need in order to succeed in your endeavors, but a winning attitude means having determination, which many people lack. As seen on wisdomforthesoul.org, “Real leaders are ordinary people with extraordinary determination.” Determination is an important factor in the overall success or failure of a person’s efforts. Unfortunately, determination is not something that comes easy to the majority of people. To be truly determined, a person must first be passionate about what they’re doing. Passion, however, is only the first step towards resolution and determination. One must have a clear goal in mind, and be willing to do anything to achieve said goal. Once they have set
