This shows how Crooks had volunteered himself to do the jobs that no one would want to do just so he would be apart of this dream. Candy also came in saying “s’pose I went in with you guys. Tha’s three fifty i’d put in.” (59) This shows you that Candy was willing to give them a lot of money to let him in on their deal. Candy again shows this with saying “I’d make a will an’ leave my share to you guys in case I kick off…” (59) Candy was literally going to give them everything to be apart of their dream.

The American Dream: Is it fact or fiction? In the United States’ Declaration of Independence, the founding fathers set forth the idea of an American Dream by providing the American people with the recognizable phrase “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness” (USHistory.org). The green light at the end of Daisy Buchanan’s dock symbolizes Jay Gatsby’s “pursuit of Happiness” in the novel, The Great Gatsby, set in the 1920s on Long Island, New York (Fitzgerald, F. Scott). The American Dream is defined as “the belief that anyone, regardless of where they were born or what class they were born into, can attain their own version of success in a society where upward mobility is possible for everyone. The American Dream is achieved through

Many people have dreams. They have the motivation to achieve that dream, however sometimes there are conflicts that do not make that possible. Of Mice and Men took place in the 1930’s where depression has taken a toll on most Americans. While going through these hard times, they would often dream of a better life. People would have their own definition of the American dream. In the story, there are three characters, Curley’s wife, Lennie, and George, that had dreamt of a better life and what the American dream had meant to them. They did have the motivation to achieve the dream, but they were not able to or had lost the motivation.

As a result certain character had Americaine dream that they wanted to achieve from wanting to be a movie star and be in the big pictures in hollywood, curley’s wife didn’t fulfill her dream because she married a ranch worker so she had no choice, Lennie also wanting to tend rabbits so badly that if he got in trouble he would be sad and think that George wouldn’t let him tend the rabbits anymore and George and Lennie’s dream of owning their own ranch that dream might be hard to achieve after the death of Lennie. The author of mice men tells us the American dream of certain characters in the novel to achieve their own dream. Steinbeck shows in the novel that even if you dream about the American dream you're not going to achieve it. In conclusion

In the novella Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, George’s and Curley’s wife’s experiences prove that even when people plan carefully, their dreams do not always come true. 1st paragraph~ George: George has kept his dream of maintaining a friendship with Lennie through his good and bad times, but his dream eventually never becomes a reality, which declares Steinbeck’s theme of dreams never coming true. When Lennie was considering living by himself because he thought he was a burden to George, George stated, “‘I want you to stay with me, Lennie. Jesus Christ, somebody’d shoot you for a coyote if you was by yourself.

When someone is in a very bad situation, sometimes all that can keep them going is a dream. It’s not necessarily achievable, but it gives hope. Even while it brought pain, in Of Mice and Men, all that keeps Lennie and George going is the dream of that farm they could get in the future. It wasn’t necessarily achievable, but it gave them hope.

In John Steinbeck’s classic american novella Of Mice and Men, the author introduces the theme of dreams and focuses on the shared dream of Lennie and George. A dream has the power to give someone the hope to not give up on life, but it can also end in disaster. It is an important part of one’s character and personality. Either way, dreams are more powerful than most people dare to admit. Dreaming is risky and can leave you worse off than before, but that hope, no matter how small, keeps people dreaming.

Steinbeck utilizes the unfulfilled dream of Curley’s wife to support the idea of the futility and fragility of the American Dream. She, who had dreamed of becoming an actress at one point in her life, was forced to settle with a mediocre life with a detestable husband, and thus her American Dream had been rendered defunct. Steinbeck’s constant use of the mice dying by Lennie’s hands foreshadows the “fate of the rabbits and thus the fate of the dream of a ‘safe place’” (Lisca 70). In one passing moment a dream could become impossible to fulfil, and the case applies to George and Lennie’s situation when Curly’s wife is killed. The feeble nature of the American Dream is established when the final “mouse” is killed and Candy immediately realizes that their aspirations have been destroyed: “Now Candy spoke his greatest fear. ‘You an’ me can get that little place, can’t we George? You an’ me can go there an’ live nice, can’t we George? Can’t we?” (Steinbeck 92). Even without the confirmation from George, who remains silent in reply to Candy, the truth is obvious. Therefore the dream share between the four tenants is essentially destroyed, and Steinbeck makes apparent its fragility through George’s immediate loss of faith. Lennie’s blunder ultimately causes
