Dreams

George and Lennie's dream was to live on a farm and live off the fat of the land. They would have chickens, cows, a vegetable garden and have rabbits that Lennie would tend. I think their dream is realistic, especially because Candy is helping them and they almost have all the money to buy the house they were looking at. It is important for people to have dreams for the future. Without them they would not know what they wanted to do nor would they have plans for the future. When others doubt your dreams you can either not listen to them or you do and you start doubting your dreams. Then the dreams would be lost if gone unfulfilled for a long period of time. There are some cases of when to hold on to unrealistic dreams; one is when you are a child another is when you work really hard at the dream and focus on it. George and Lennie's dream was unfulfilled, this happened because George shot Lennie for killing Curley's wife. The book does not tell us what happened to George or Candy, we don't know if they did get the house or not. I think it is best if you have a dream that you stick to it and fulfill it.
