Q1: the american dream is defined within each video by the expression "picking yourself up by the bootstrap" and although the facts say its nearly impossible to do so we as Americans believe anything is possible with just a little hard work.
Q2: This idea connects to the characters in Of Mice and Men because the men in the story are nothing more than labor workers with a dream to live a more suitable life carrying on the belief that hard work cant get you to where you want to be in life.
Q3: The american dream is extremely comparable to Lennie and George's dream due to the fact that even though it is highly unlikely that they will get rich they still put in the work and effort into reaching their goals of a better lifestyle then what they were given.

The " American Dream " is an ideal dream for most people This dream consists of helping others , making a change or even just graduating. One video discusses the saying " Lifting ones self from the bootstrap " , this saying was viewed differently ie: Lifting yourself up from the ground and Lifting ones self out of a situation using the resources you have. Success tends to be a keyword in the discussion of the " American Dream " What is success to many ? Success to some include the money they get and to others Success is as simple as being in a better situation then one once was in .
