1.describe Lennie and George's dream. How is their dream representative of the dreams of migrant workers in the 1930s? A.intro paragraph1.hooka. The Declaration of Independence; signed in 1783 describes the American dream of "freedom of life and the pursuit of happiness" most Americans strive and work towards this goal, regardless of day or age, our light at the end of the tunnel is a product of this “perfect” American Dream.2.thesisa.george and Lennie have a dream similar to many others: to repair the time of the Great Depression.b.During the 1930s the depression hit the United States. Dreams were shattered, hopes were thrown away, and everyone struggled to achieve the now seemingly impossible American dream.B. Body of paragraph n.11. George and Lennie both want to own a piece of land, which they can call their own. to "live off the land" (13)2. George strives to own a couple of acres of land with animals such as pigs and chickens. Lennie tries hard to take care of the rabbits, as he loves soft things. to. This dream would allow George and Lennie to support themselves and offer protection from an inhospitable world.3. It is debatable whether George truly believes this dream is possible or whether he is pretending to make Lennie happy and produce some hope so that the days won't be so sad. In any case, George wants this dream, but how he will get it and what the price of this dream will be will soon be determined. some eggs or something, or some milk. We would just live there. There would be no more running around the country and getting eaten by a Japanese chef. No, sir, we would. our place where we belonged and not sleep in any bunk"b. We can......middle of paper......age, but with the same goal in mind.D. Conclusion1. In the book Of Mice and Men George and Lennie go job hunting from ranch to ranch. 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..
