Theme- Dreams
George and Lennie's dream is to save up enough money to buy a little ranch for themselves away from everyone. Here they would raise different colored rabbits and chickens. They would also raise cows and pigs and they would just live off the land. Lennie would be allowed to tend the rabbits and he would feed them alfalfa. they would have a big vegetable garden that they would always work in and they would choose when they worked. when it was raining they would just sit inside by a fire and just relax. George and Lennies dream represents everyone's dream of getting out of the norm and going to there own paradise. it also represents peoples dream of getting away from there own problems where there past will no longer effect them. the ultimate fate for us is that we rarely reach our dreams and often fall short no matter how much we try.
Point of View
Journal entry #41 (candy)
Today the most horrible thing possible has happened. they have killed my poor poor dog! The dog that I've had for the longest time. I've had him ever since he was a pup and they just took him.my companion, friend and most loved partner. he said it wouldn't hurt, that you wouldn't feel a thing but it still hurt me all the same. They said you stunk but i couldn't smell anything. they said you had no teeth but i didn't mind. they had no right to take you from me! why did i ever agree to this. it has to be the stupidest decision of my life!! I need to get away soon this place has too many bad memories that i don't want to think about. I have talked to George about his and lennies dream and I want in. they didn't give me a real answer so I still have some hope. I also have a lot of money in the bank and i'm getting 50 bucks at the end of the month. If anything ill leave it to them in my will Lord knows they deserve it morre than I.
