DREAMS

     The dreams in the book Of Mice and Men are wonderful and seem far fetched. For some, these dreams may be a possibility,but for these two individuals in  the book it is a very tricky path they must take. Lennie and George are great friends and have known each other for many years, bascially since they were little boys. Lennie lost his parents and George's aunt took him in and for a few years they did what they needed to do to stay alive. Then Lennie made a big mistake which cost him alot he is not so smart that is why George is with him to keep him straight. Lennie grabed a girl and he was only being friendly all he wanted to do was feel her dress because Lennie likes the feeling of soft things. Well since he grabed her very hard she started to scream and the next thing you know they are leaving there home town to get away from everything that is happening. Then since they had nothing to live on or any money to get them anywhere they had to start finding jobs.
     After a long journey to a job George set up for them they reached a pond or lake and they stayed there for the night. George came up with a dream and his dream was to become wealthy and have his own farm where he can grow and work only for his self. This dream was a very big dream to accomplish back in the day. So George and Lennie worked very hard to reach this goal and they got to the farm where they would be working until they had enough money to have their own farm. The dream to me is very easy to accomplish these days but to think about it back in the day I think that it would be very hard and I don't think that it is realistic.
     Dreams in the future are very good to have because it sets your mind on something to reach. Say if I didn't have any dreams what would I have to strive for or look forward too. On the other hand I do have dreams or goals I want to reach and they are to do great in school and have a very nice family and live in a very nice house. Now that I have told you my dream I want to reach it when I grow up and by doing that I must work hard at it and if I can't do that then I will have nothing in my future. If my dream was to go unfulfilled then I guess I will have to find something else to keep me alive or set another dream I can reach. Sometimes it hurts to face reality and I know that it might leave you a little heart broken but you can't always live in a fantsy land. If you do then you will never have anybody there for you.
     George and Lennie do not reach their dream but I have to give them credit for working very hard to reach it. I also have to give George some credit to because the way Lennie acted I think that he was kind of a hold back on George. If George did not have Lennie I think he would have reached his dream and lived a very happy life and loved his life.
