They go as a couple in hopes of raising enough money to buy their own ranch and work for themselves. This is also what happened during the Great Depression that hit from 1929 to 1939. There was a mass migration in search of work which left cities vacant and others overpopulated. Crime rates also increased as petty thefts occurred to put food on the table, we can see a similar event in Of mice and. men where Lennie steals Carlsons Luger, even though this wasn't to put food on the table it was petty theft because most people couldn't afford these types of goods.2. All in all George and Lennie fought for the same workers dream migrants during the Great Depression, even though this dream was almost impossible and rarely came true..
