Even though George and Lennie aren't actually brothers, they act just like typical brothers and give off a sense as if they were related. Many obstacles face George and Lennie in the novel but they don't let any of them stand in their way because they have each other to help them get through the tough time. The American Dream ties into brotherhood because many people come from other countries to start something in America. They want to make money and be happy because that is exactly what the American Dream is. People strive to be successful and achieving success is done with help.

The boys from Mice and Men, Lennie and George, spend most of their time together because they realize that they need each other most of the time to be able to make it in life. Lennie needs George so much to the point where he might die if he didn't have George with him, helping him with life. The American Dream can be tied into this because many people don't understand that having someone by your side can make life much easier. The American Dream is why many people come to America and usually when they come, they do not come alone, they bring their family or someone with them to support them.

George and Lennie's bond is one that cannot be broken. These boys will do everything for one another even though Lennie needs help to get by in life. If one of them wasn't there for the other one, they wouldn't be able to make it very far because they use each other to get by in life and overcome obstacles together. George and Lennie are dependent on each other and that is why they stay together and overcome together. If you have a bond with someone that is unbreakable, then you are most likely happy in life. If you are happy in life you are either achieving the American Dream of you are on your way to doing so.

This picture is a great representation of how George and Lennie care for each other. They aren't willing to let anything stand in their way or bring them down. True brothers will put one before themselves. They will be there for each other until the end. This is another reason why George and Lennie are the perfect model for brotherhood. The American Dream ties into this because: if you have someone running alongside you, encouraging you, when you are trying to achieve your goal, it makes life so much easier. Brothers are great together and aren't worth much when they are apart.

This picture of these boys effectively portrays how George and Lennie are just like brothers and watch out for one another. Their bond cannot be broken no matter what stands in the way. This novel time after time shows how they are meant to do life together and have each others backs.  One brother might be bigger than the other (Lennie) but that does not mean he is susceptible to the outside world. If you have someone by your side, it just makes achieving the American Dream even easier. It makes people become less tense and more willing to work to be happy in life and receive what they are striving for.
