I think Candy’s dream is to… Live in peace and quiet. Candy wanted to go with George and Lennie and get their own piece of land he was willing to pay for almost all of it. “ An' they give me two hundred an' fifty dollars 'cause I los' my hand. An' I got fifty more saved up right in the bank, right now.” I believe the reason he wants to gets Out of the farm so bad is, he is treated without respect and and has to deal with his heartless co workers, they shot his dog pg 39 . He also wants a place to retire and not worry about being throw out, he wants companionship.

I think crooks his dream is to be treated with equal rights like everyone else. He is constantly thought less of then other characters. He’s treated differently because he is black, I know because he is constantly being called the N word. Crooks also tried to stick up for himself and clam that curly’s wife had to leave. She then threatened to have him hung “ all get I could get you hung up on trees so easily that even funny” pg 81

I think Currly’s wife’s dream is to have a person who loves her. I think she acts the way she does because of the way she is treated. She is forced to be coped up in a house and talk to no ones. I know this Because she said “think I’m gonna stay in a 2 by 4 and listen to how curly gonna lead with his twict “pg 78 I could get you hung up on trees so easily that even funny” pg 81 She acts out for her own interests and does rebellious acts like flirting with guys.

Curley’s wife’s dream is to not be alone.  I think this is the case because she is always sneaking out of the house to talk to people because Curley is never around, which makes her cheat on him.  For example during a lot of the scenes of the book she is asking people where Curley is.  This is important because if she’s always looking for Curley that means she’s lonely.  Because of this she cheats all of the time and nobody listens to her either because they think she’s up to no good all of the time.

Crook’s Dream is to have a place where he can do simple jobs, have people to talk to, and not be bullied by other people. pg. 76 “...if you...guys would want a hand to work for nothing - just his keep, why i’d come an’ lend a hand.” He’s reality is he really can’t leave he would never be able to find a job and he would have no where to stay because he is black. pg. “ ‘member what I said about hoein’ and doing’ odd jobs?”  “Well, jus’ forget it,” said crooks.

# data[].attributes.body
Crook’s dream is to be treated equally to everyone else.  For example when he was talking to Lennie and Candy he was excited that people were talking and listening to him even thought he was a bit angry at first.  It was all good for him until Curley’s wife came in and said, “listen n*****”, you know what I can do to you if you open your trap?” Pg80. This upset Crooks and made him made again because he was happy about people talking and respecting him and then Curley’s wife came in ruined the mood.

Curly’s wife’s dream is probably to be with the most powerful strongest guys because she loves it when they fight. On page 81 she said to Lennie “ I’m glad you busted curly up a little bit”. She liked Lennie because he crushed his hand.
But in reality she is with curly and she likes it when he fights people because the were taking to her. And she keeps on talking to slim and curly gets made at him .

Crooks dream is to be equally the same like everyone else on the ranch. Crooks also wants to be invited to the party’s and to be talked to with getting insulated by one of the people at the ranch. On page 81 curly’s wife Said to crooks “ you know what I can do to you if you open you trap”. So she is saying to him I can tell curly’s dad that you did something wrong and you will probably die.
But in reality crooks is  not treated well because of the   time period because he’s black and back then they were treated terribly , being beat up or even sward at.
On page 75 crooks was talking to Lennie and candy peaked his head in and said something to Lennie and crooks said come in candy “candy came in , but was still embarrassing”.  He was embarrassed because crooks was there and never probably talk to him before.

Her dream is to leave the house to meet up with more people, and not to be alone. But her reality is that Curly always leaves and wants her to stay in the house.

I believe that candy's dream is to get off the place he’s  working at and go live at the farm with George and Lennie.  So they can sell rabbits and crops to make money and leave because on page 59 Candy said “ i’d make a will and leave my share to you guys in case I kick off”.
But Candy can’t go until George and Lennie work a month and get a hundred bucks so they can leave the ranch and go to there own farm.

Candy’s wife wants to not be alone just like Crooks. She wants to have her husband around and not be so lonely. Candy’s wife wants a better life where she surrounded by the people she loves, instead of having to go around and flirt with men. She does this because she is lonely inside. The only way she can cope with her loneliness is to flirt with other men. She knows those men that she flirts with will give her attention that she’s lacking. “Awright," she said contemptuously. "Awright, cover 'im up if ya wanta. Whatta I care? You bindle bums think you're so damn good. Whatta ya think I am, a kid? I tell ya I could of went with shows. Not jus' one, neither. An' a guy tol' me he could put me in pitchers…" She was breathless with indignation. "Sat'iday night. Ever'body out doin' som'pin'. Ever'body! An' what am I doin'? Standin' here talkin' to a bunch of bindle stiffs a 🤬 an' a dum-dum and a lousy ol' sheep an' likin' it because they ain't nobody else." (Page 102-103 I had to borrow a book and the page numbers are different than the normal book.) This quote shows how lonely Candy’s wife really is.

Crooks’ dream is to have equality. Crooks’ wants everyone to treat him and other African Americans with as much respect and the do white people. All Crooks wants in life is to not be lonely. Crooks is sick of people not paying attention to him because of the color of his skin. “Candy leaned against the wall beside the broken collar while he scratched his wrist stump. "I been here a long time," he said. "An' Crooks been here a long time. This's the first time I ever been in his room." Crooks said darkly, "Guys don't come into a colored man's room very much." (page 76-77) This quote shows that barely anyone comes in to give Crooks some company which makes Crooks lonely.

Curley's Wife's dream is similar to Crook's. She feels alone and wants people to talk to every once in a while. The reality of this dream is unlikely. Only a few weeks married, Curley is always out of the house with other women while he tells his wife to stay at home. In such a bad relationship with Curley and also having everyone dislike her, her dream may not come true.

"Sat'iday night. Ever'body out doin' som'pin'. Ever'body! An' what am I doin'? Standin here talkin' to a bunch of bindle  stiffs-- a an' a dum-dum and a lousy ol' sheep-- an likin' it because they ain't nobody else."

Crooks' dream is to be equal among everyone else and get better treatment from people. The reality of this dream is very unlikely for the time period. During this time people like Crooks were discriminated and treated very unfairly. In Of Mice and Men Crooks talks to Lennie about how he is so alone and would love to talk to people every once in a while.

"A guy goes nuts  if he ain't got nobody. Don't make no difference who the guy is, long's he's with you I tell ya," "I tell ya a guy gets too lonely an' he gets sick."

Candy's dream is to go live on a farm with George and Lennie and help work the land with them. The reality of this dream is very possible to come true. Candy says to have money in the bank he could put towards buying the farm with George. All they have to do is work one month and they should have enough money to buy the farm.

"S'pose I went in with you guys. Tha's three hundred an' fifty bucks I'd put in. I ain't much good, but I could cook and tend the chickens and hoe the garden some. How'd that be?"

Curley’s wife dream is mostly about being able to escape the ranch and dissatisfying her marriage to Curley. Her reality is that not only the workers, but also Curly want her to stay there, in the house, all of the day.

# data[].attributes.body
Candy’s dream is to be apart of Lennie and George’s farm. In the text Curly states, “S’pose I went with you guys. Tha’s three hundred an’ fifty bucks I’d put in.” (pg.59) This shows that Curly really wants to own and work the land with them, however, in reality, Curly is an old ranch worker who has lost one of his hands. Because of this, Curly wouldn’t be able to do the work that a regular person could do.

I think that Curleys dream is to leave his wife and try to live happily with out her. But his reality is that he still has to deal with her and live with her and all the things that she does with other men.

Curly’s wife wants to be able to do her own thing not to be stuck in a house all day, “Think I’m gonna stay in that two-by four house...”( Steinbeck 78). This is important because she feels isolated and she wants attention from her husband who works all day but, the reality is that she’s going out to get her attention from other men on the farm.

Crooks Dream is to not have to fear other people and not be alone. Crooks does not care for being alone all the time, “You got no rights to come in my room. This here’s my room. Nobody got any right in here but me,” (Steinbeck68). This is important because it shows how Crooks is used to being treated and he may believe that this is how everyone should be treated. But the reality is that’s is how racisms was back in the day.

# data[].attributes.body
Candy’s dream is to also get his own land. To be particular he wants to help Lennie and George get their own land and get some land for himself. “How much they want for a place like that,” (Steinbeck 59). This shows that Candy is willing to help George and Lennie with the price of the land, but in Reality Candy, George, and Lennie all need to put their own time and money into working on the ranch to achieve that goal.

# data[].attributes.body
Curley's Wife's dream is to not be alone and stuck in her house all the time, she wants more in . Evidence for this is in "Of mice and Men" by Steinbeck is on page 78, "-st'iday night. Ever'body ou doin' som'pin'. Everybody! an' what am i doin'? standing here talking to a bunch of bindle stiffs... likin' it because they ain't nobody else." this shows that she does not want to be alone and she wants more to life. but in reality she can't leave the ranch and she is restricted because of this.

Crooks dream is not be alone and also have people treat him right. Evidence of this is is in "Of mice and Men" by Steinbeck, on page 74 crooks says, "S'pose you didn't have nobody, S'pose you couldn't go into the bunk house and play rummy c'ause you was black." i think this shows that crooks wants to be with other people but in reality he can't because of the time period and he is not accepted.

Crooks dream is to make friends and to have people care about him. His reality is that’s he is black, and nobody wants to go by him because he is a different color than everyone. However, he likes to tease or take advantage of Lennie because he realizes how non-intelligent he is.

Curly’s wife’s dream is to not be alone all the time. Even though she flirts with a lot of guys doesn’t mean that she’s not lonely or sad. She said, “think I don’t like to talk to somebody ever’ once in a while. Think I like to stick in that house alla time” (pg. 77). People don’t know that she’s actually lonely because she covers it up. However, since curly is gone all the time, she will be lonely a lot. And most of the guys just think she’s a flirt.

Crooks wishes to be treated normally with respect. So when Lennie talked to Crooks, he messed with his head by saying, “S’pose George don’t come back no more. S’pose he took a powder and just ain’t coming back” (pg. 71) because he wants Lennie to feel as lonely as he does. However, in reality there’s always going to be people that are racists and not accepting of other people.

# data[].attributes.body
Curley’s wife’s dream is to not be lonely. She may flirt with everyone and try to be with every guy, but truly it’s because she’s lonely. Curley is always off working or fighting because he thinks he’s cool and she is lonely waiting in the house, that’s why she acts the way she does. It’s her way of acting like she’s ok, even though she’s not.

Crooks dream is to be normal. He wishes people would treat him like a regular person. He doesn’t want to feel excluded and lonely. He’s been pushed away his whole life and when Lennie actually tried to be nice he was mean to him.

Candy’s dream is to live on the ranch with George and Lennie.   For example on page 59 Candy says, “That’s $350 that I’d put in.  This is important because Candy has always wanted a price of land just like George and Lennie and if he’s willing to put in $350 just to go with Lennie and George.  This shows how important owning his own land is to Candy.

Candy’s dream is to be able to work on the ranch with Lennie and George because he has $250 to help them buy the ranch and he wants a job with people he can consider his friends. He says, “I’d make a will an’ leave my share to you guys in case I kick off, ‘cause I ain’t got no relatives nor nothin.” Page 59 This shows how desperate he is to not have to live the life of a migrant farm worker. The obstacle standing in the way of this would be the money they don’t have to buy the ranch and that he’s a cripple and wouldn’t be able to do as much work as an abled person.

Candy’s dream is also to possibly get his dog back (even though Carlson wants to kill the dog just because it is old and smelly). His reality is that his dog is dead but Slim offered to give him a puppy because his dog just had a litter of puppies. “ Well, he ain’t doin’ no harm. I give him one of them pups.” on page 50 shows that Slim was willing to give Candy a new puppy to replace his old one.

But in reality they don't have the property yet and they might not even let candy along.

Candy’s dream is to get off of the ranch. The men there clearly don’t care about him because they killed his dog for no good reason. Candy has nobody, his dog was his best friend and now that it’s gone Candy doesn’t know what to do. Once he can’t do work anymore and gets too old, the men will just kill him.

This way he can make Lennie understand the pain he goes through every day. The reality is that crooks will never be able to be seen as an equal because of his race.

She says to Crooks,”If I catch one man, and he’s all alone, I get along fine with him.” Page 77 This shows that she wants some other friends but can’t have them because everyone judges her by what she does with other men. Everyone in the ranch thinks she’s a child because she doesn’t know how to interact with them except by flirting.

Lennie's dream is to live on a farm with George and tend to some Rabbits. The reality of this is that George will most likely not let Lennie have any Rabbits because he is worried that Lennie will kill them or start some other problem like he has done in the past.

"An' rabbits," Lennie said eagerly. "An' I'd take care of 'em. Tell how I'd do that George." -Lennie Pg 58

Lennie constantly bugs George about having rabbits to the point where George will get angry at him.
This isn't just George being too scared that Lennie will make a problem, Lennie has proven that he will most likely kill the rabbits if they were to get them. An example is when Lennie killed a small puppy just for petting it too hard.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that Lennie’s goal is to live on his own ranch with George, tend rabbits, and have a pup of his own.  For example on page 56 Lennie says to George, “George, how long’s it gonna be till we get that little place and live on the fatta the land and rabbits?” This quote is important because it shows how Lennie can’t stop thinking, talking, and asking George about the land they are going to buy because it’s his dream to live land of his own. Also Lennie got a pup from George because wanted to give Lennie something he can pet without killing, like the mice.  This is important because Lennie is getting something he has be begging George for and George is trusting him on taking good care of the pup.

On page 65 Lennie said “I can still tend the rabbits George?” But Lennie can’t tend the rabbits till they work a whole month to get a hundred bucks to get that land.On page 60 it says “ Lennie work a month and don’t spend nothing, we will have a hundred bucks”.

I think Lennie's dream is to live on his own farm to tend the rabbits and other animals. In "Of Mice and Men" by Steinbeck it states on page 75 it states, "But I get to tend 'em," Lennie broke in. "George says I get to tend 'em. he promised." this shows that Lennie wants to tend the rabbits because he is getting defensive about how candy said that he knew how he was going to make money off of them. But in reality Lennie does not have any rabbits and they don't even own the farm yet. one piece of evidence is when Candy George and Lennie were talking aobut how they were going to get their land. But it has not happened yet.

# data[].attributes.body
Lennies Dream is to take care of rabbits, “Well, he said if I done any more bad things he ain’t gonna let me tend the rabbits,”(Steinbeck 87). When Lennie is faced with reality in the barn with Crooks and Candy Lennie has been made to feel like he’s in trouble. Lennie is worried that if George finds out that he’s in a situation that he is not supposed to be in then George will not let him tend some rabbits.
Another example of Lennies dream of taking care of some rabbits is at the beginning of the story when Lennie is carrying a dead mouse in his pocket and George knows about the dead mouse and doesn’t want Lennie carrying it when they camp out for the first night George promises Lennie to let him tend some rabbits, “...because if you do, I won’t let you tend the rabbits,”(Steinbeck 16). George finally gave in to Lennies wishes and told Lennie that if they got some land and money that Lennie could tend some rabbits.
The final reason Lennies Dream is to tend some rabbits is because, on page, 14 Lennie and George are talking about what they want to work for and their end goal with working on different ranches, “An’ live off the fatta the lan’,” Lennie shouted. “An’ have rabbits. Go on George!”(Steinbeck 14). In Lennies head he has this big open creative mind because he wants to take care of some rabbits to touch.

# data[].attributes.body
Lennies Dream is to have his own rabbits you can tell he wants them because he mentions them a lot like on pg. 58 he said “an’ rabbits,” Lennie said eagerly. “An’ I’d take care of ‘em.” That is how I know that is his dream. Lennie’s reality is that him and George are working to get enough money to buy that land. pg 56 “ George, how long’s it gonna be till we get that little place an’ live on the fatty the lan’-an’ rabbits?”

# data[].attributes.body
Lennie’s dream is to tend to the rabbits on their (Lennie and George’s) land. When George is describing his dream land to Candy, Lennie states, “An’ rabbits, George.” “No place for rabbits now, but I could easy build a few hutches and you could feed alfalfa to the rabbits.”(page 57) Unfortunately, in reality the land cost six hundred dollars and Lennie and George still don’t have enough money for the land. This is stopping Lennie from being able to have rabbits which then stops him from being able to tend to the rabbits which is his dream for the future.

# data[].attributes.body
Lennie’s dream is to own and work a farm and to take care of rabbits. The text states that, “that’s him, that’s the guy, an he’s gonna let me tend the rabbits.” Page 88. As you can see, Lennie really wants to tend the rabbits. However, some people don’t think he is intelligent enough to accomplish some of the goals or dreams right now.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that Lennie's dream is.... He wants a piece of land with George. He wants a place were he can tend the rabbits and be with George. He is constantly asking George to tell him about the future about his dream. I believe that George is the one thing he needs and wants most in his future. I know this because Lennie said this " I got you to look after me and you have me to look after you." pg 14 This shows there like brothers. another incident is when crooks was messing with Lennie. This is the only incident were Lennie almost got physical with someone, the thought that crooks put into his head about " who hurt George" pg 72 Lennie demanded. with this crooks then jumped back because he saw Lennie as danger, quickly with realizing his mistake he reassured him George would be ok. I think that this is Lennie's desired future. I also believe that George and Lennie share a goal and dream of owning there own land. this is stated throughout the book... the first time we heard of there shared fantasy's was pg 14.

# data[].attributes.body
Lennie has a dream to be able to tend the rabbits and be trusted with his own responsibilities, but in reality, he isn’t fully trusted by anyone because of the way everyone sees him as being dumb as well as because of all of the mistakes he constantly makes. For example, when he was in weed he had made a huge mistake because of not knowing any better. George had told the story of what happened, “Well, he seen this girl in a red dress. Dumb bastard like he is, he wants to touch everything.” Since then, life has been more difficult for them and Lennie is able to be trusted alone anymore.

Lennie’s big dream is to live on a small piece of land with George and to take care of the rabbits. His reality is that George might not let him take care of the rabbits because be can be kind of careless with smaller animals. “You said about them rabbits” on page 75 shows that Lennie is very excited about being able to take care of the rabbits, and “ ‘The pup,” Lennie repeated. “I come to see my pup.” on page 69 shows that Lennie really loves soft animals that he can pet.

When George and Lennie make enough money and move out of the ranch, Lennie really wants to tend rabbits. He says, “I get to tend’em, cut grass an’ give’em water, an’ like that” (pg. 69). However, Lennie doesn’t have a good history with pets; For instance, he killed the puppy on accident and he didn’t know it would “get killed so easily” (pg. 86). Lennie now thinks George won’t let him “tend the rabbits” (pg. 85).

Lennie’s dream is to own a farm with George and to be able to tend the rabbits on the farm. Lennie shows this when he accidentally kills the puppy that Slim gave him. He says,”George ain’t gonna let me tend the rabbits.” Page 87 He tells everyone on the farm that him and George are going to have their own farm and he’s honing to tend the rabbits. Lennie’s reality stands in the way of him being able to tend the rabbits because they don’t have enough money to get the farm. Also, George won’t even let him tend the rabbits anymore because he killed the puppy that Slim gave him (as stated in the quote above).

Lennie’s dream is to live on the land with George and tend rabbits. Lennie wants this because he loves animals. He likes to pet animals but since he’s so strong he always kills them, but rabbits are big enough so he won’t kill it. “Go on George! Tell about what we’re gonna have in the garden and about the rabbits in the cages and about the rain in the winter and the stove.” pg. 14
