Of mice and Men

The theme that I have chosen for my Mice and Men essay is the American dream. That is because in this book everyone has a dream. The three main people who had dreams were Lennie, George, Candy and Curley’s wife.Curley’s wife had a big dream to be a movie star. "Went out to the riverside dance palace with him, he says he was going to put me in the movie. Soon he got back to Hollywood he was gonna write to me about it." But they were playing her dream because they didn’t care about her big dream that she had. She was only women in the plot.In this book lennie had a dream. His dream was a little place. Lennie wanted a tend rabbits. Although he had a mind of a young child he still has a dream. He wanted a big land were he and George can called their own and also a farm.George, Lennie and Candy shared the same dream which was to live off of the "fat of the land" by getting an acre of land and a home they can call their own. George & Lennie wanted to be their own bosses. Lennie’s only dream was to tend to the rabbits.In this book every one had a dream, but different dreams.I think Steinbeck wanted to show people how everyone has a dream of their own. People like Lennie who had the mind of a young child he had a dream. Some people’s dream is to become a movie star but other people always put your dream on line, because they said I will called you back when I come back from Hollywood. But they lie to you they all got you hop up but it never happen like Curley’s Wife. A man who put his dream on hold to take care of someone who are unable to think own this and can’t survive on his own.
