Dreams

George and Lennie's dream in Of Mice and Men is talked about a lot throughout the story. It is their dream to be their with eachother and live off the land. They can achieve this by saving up enough money to get enough land to farm their own food off of and raise livestock, and have their own house. A lot of characters in the book find this unrealistic, but I don't. Candy, who offered to join in on their dream, was willing to put in all of his money for this, which brought them soo much closer to their goal. Their dream was so close to being achieved because of this, but then Lennie died which brought and end to it. Their purpose was to have and care for eachother and live off the land, but without Lennie that would be impossible.
It is important for people to have dreams for the future, as long as it is realistic and they can believe in themselves. If that dream was unrealistic, that person could never reach it, which would probably end up being depressing in the long run, knowing that it had never been accomplished . If the dreams goes unfulfilled for a long period of time, the dreamer might just give up on it. If others were to doubt those dreams, that dreamer might join the bandwagon of society with them. Or that dreamer could be even more determined, in order to prove everyone wrong.
Although, it could also be better to hold onto those unrealizable dreams. Because it is unreachable, the progress to your dream will just keep on improving and improving. It would be like art, where it could never be perfect, but it could just keep getting better over time and eventually turn into something amazing.
