Of mice and men....?

Question

How do you think Lennie and George's dream compares to the modern American dream?

Thanks for the opinions. :)

Answer 1

Of Mice and Men is a classic, and also one that I have never read, though it is on my list to read this winter.  However, there are numerous free on line resources that can help you with your study of this novel, most of which analyze the story, discuss themes and symbolism and other literary devices, and give character sketches.  If you do a search you will find many helpful resources.  Additionally hundreds of questions have been asked here on Y!A about Of Mice and Men so do a search for it in the Yahoo Answers search window and you will find lots of Q’s and A’s that should help you.    

Answer 2

well, all they really wanted to do was to settle down and have a happy life [like most people] but the fact that they couldnt save enough money [because they kept getting layed off] prevented that. and that can also happen in real life, like you could never save up enough money for the perfect dream homeor soemthing, u know? idk. lol

Answer 3

I think that in the economic climate that we are in right now.  That about half of Americans are in the same situation that Lennie and George were in.  

Answer 4

Their dream was the old American dream: make some money, own some land, and live and prosper off of it. Now a days, everything is sort of more materialistic. So the modern American dream in my opinion is: go to school, get a good job, make lots of money, be happy, get married, have kids, and stuff of that sort.
