The Importance Of Dreams In Of Mice And Men By Sandra Cisneros

Ever since humanity has come into existence, the world has allowed dreams to blossom into beautiful flowers or be rejected and die like a fly swatted in a household. Each dream may end in a success or a tragedy, but it is up to the discretion of the cruel, but rewarding world humans inhabit. In the novel of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, a myriad of characters all have dreams that they passionately want to fulfill. Curley’s wife, who remains unnamed in the book, has a dream of becoming Hollywood’s biggest star. Crooks, the black stable-hand only dreams of being able to have friends and be seen as an equal to others. Lennie and George are a pair of migrant workers who want to live the American dream and have their own ranch. Each of these characters’ dreams were all torn down by the world, illustrated by Steinbeck as a cruel place where dreams cannot come true, no matter how passionate a person may be.

Dreams, the aspiration and goal of everyone. That is why everyone is wasting their lives. Throughout this unit, we have looked at examples from both sides of this argument and in the end, it was obvious, it is not worth it to dream. While you can achieve your dream despite immense odds, it's not worth it to dream because if you blindly follow a dream you can't accomplish you can waste your life. Circumstances beyond your control can derail your dream and even if you work hard it doesn't always pay off consequently.

Dreams in Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck A dream can be described as an ambition or the aspiration to reach a goal in life. In the novel "Of Mice and Men" John Steinbeck creates characters to have an optimistic dream. These dreams are ones which they would all like to make a reality. They all have a longing and desire to fulfil their dreams.

Hopes and dreams can be very important for peoples’ needs and survival. In Steinbeck’s story, Of Mice and Men, each of the main characters is driven by their hopes and dreams; it provides a sense of motivation and animation to each of their being. From Lennie and George being driven by their hopes and dreams of owning a farm, to Curley’s wife’s dreams of becoming an actress, having dreams plays an essential role in giving hope to the characters of Steinbeck’s story. Although dreams and hopes are essential themes in Steinbeck’s story, in a sense, Steinbeck does seem to emphasize that dreams are not meant to be achieved, and that there are other factors that are essential for survival. I believe Steinbeck included their dreams to give

Everyone has dreams, big and small. When one dreams, there is a scent of whimsical hope in the air mixed with the powerful drive for success to obtain their luminous goals. But, many times these luscious dreams end up in grief and pain instead of a promised joy due to the hurdles in life, such as the certain circumstances that society professes or the flaws in a person that restrains them from their aspirations. The writer, John Steinbeck, incorporates this ideology in his novella, Of Mice and Men by creating three pivotal characters. Lennie, Crooks, and George all have schemes that go wrong, and yet hope to illustrate their desires of fulfilling their American Dream and to be prosperous for their own independent purposes.

One of the major themes of John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men is that having a dream creates hope, friendship, and determination, enabling one to strive onward in life with a sense of importance. Three major examples show this idea. The first example is Candy’s loss of his dog and his joining George and Lennie 's dream of owning land. A second example is Crook’s memory of his father’s

Steinbeck write about the dream to give trust in a miserable society while the dream may never be achieved , Of Mice and Men advise that with the end goal life should be full and important, it must contain dreams. George and Lennie never achieved their dream, however, the dream holds their wonderful relationship together. The dream gives them live,

The phrase `Of Mice and Men', was first used by James Truslow Adams in his book The Epic of America in 1931.

Steinbeck incorporates the theme of the American Dream, an expression used to represent wanted success, throughout his story Of Mice and Men as he provides glimpses of the dreams of many characters. Towards the end of the novel, the fact is that each of the characters “American Dream” is just that, a dream, which is unattainable. In short, Steinbeck portrays his position of the unrealistic desires for untarnished happiness through the dreams of Candy, Curley’s Wife, and Crooks in Of Mice and Men.

A Dream can be defined in as an ideal. The American dream is to be

Hard work and dedication are ways to achieve your dreams or goal. You need both to achieve your dreams or goals. When you have a certain goal you’ll be motivated to work hard, and you’ll be dedicated to achieve the dream or goal. In the book “Of Mice and Men” written by John Stienbeck, the characters George & Lennie, and Curley’s wife had dreams and goals that are motivators.

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

having a job, a house and a wife. He got all the things he had hoped

Arthur Golden once said, “This is why dreams can be such dangerous things: they smolder on like a fire does, and sometimes they consume us completely”. Having dreams for the future can be one of the greatest forms of motivation for one to work their hardest, however; it is easy for one to fall victim to the cycle of impossible dreams in which he or she will be left with anger stemming from the resulting devastation. Seemingly pessimistic, this is a side of dreams not often dealt with for it is not a joyful view, though, it is a reality that must be faced. John Steinbeck understands and conveys this as he says, {The writer} is charged with exposing our many grievous faults and failures with dredging up to the light our dark and dangerous dreams for the purpose of improvement”. He alike, believes the faults of humanity must be exposed so society can improve, therefore, the danger of dreams must be brought to the surface. Steinbeck carries out this idea and duty he believes a writer takes on within his writing. In the novella Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck uses tone to shed light upon the subject of dark, dangerous dreams and their consequences as characters place absolute trust and reliance upon their aspirations.

All three dreams make me feel differently about the characters. Without his dream Lennie would have had no direction in his life and his behaviour would be annoying rather than sad. As it is, Lennie 's dream gives hope to George, Candy and even Crooks. Lennie 's ambition to look after rabbits shows him to be a gentle man in spite of the violence that goes on in the novel. Crooks ' dream of sharing in George and Lennie 's plans gives him more depth, particularly after the death of his dog. Curley 's wife 's dream reveals another side to her character. Generally in the story she appears to be trying to get the men into trouble, but her dreams and frustrations show that she is as lonely as the other people on the farm.
