We know that Steinbeck (the author) wrote this novel because he wanted his reader to understand how he felt about the American Dream. So--What do you think Steinbeck was saying about the American Dream in this novel? What lesson did you he want you to learn? Do you agree with him? by Tiffany Gesford https://padlet.com/gesfordt/890sdfu2n5k8b9ep Respond using ACE en-us 2021-11-08 16:00:03 UTC 2024-10-14 02:57:03 UTC hello@padlet.com I believe that Steinbeck wanted us to learn that the American dream is not really real. I agree with him because if you don't have a strong base under you, you cannot accomplish "The Dream". tdewarf854 https://padlet.com/gesfordt/890sdfu2n5k8b9ep/wish/1875559311 2021-11-08 16:05:05 UTC https://padlet.com/gesfordt/890sdfu2n5k8b9ep/wish/1875559311 tstrosnide994 https://padlet.com/gesfordt/890sdfu2n5k8b9ep/wish/1875560741 The American Dream has at best been an illusion and at worst a trap, unattainable dreams are still necessary, in a way, to make life in America bearable.

It was only reasonable for people with money and some type of education. Therefor George and Lennie were not able to achieve their dream because they're poor and non educated. elafollett592 https://padlet.com/gesfordt/890sdfu2n5k8b9ep/wish/1875562341 2021-11-08 16:06:01 UTC https://padlet.com/gesfordt/890sdfu2n5k8b9ep/wish/1875562341 nbassler028 https://padlet.com/gesfordt/890sdfu2n5k8b9ep/wish/1875563129 I think Steinbeck doesn't like the idea of the American dream he thinks it is stupid and unachievable. he wants to teach the readers that sometimes luck is better the hard work. i do not agree with him i think if you work hard enough and think smart enough you can achieve everything]]> 2021-11-08 16:06:14 UTC https://padlet.com/gesfordt/890sdfu2n5k8b9ep/wish/1875563129 jmcdonald794 https://padlet.com/gesfordt/890sdfu2n5k8b9ep/wish/1875564417 I feel like it brings insight how it was back then and shows how the lives of people less fortunate than us Jay,M]]> 2021-11-08 16:06:37 UTC https://padlet.com/gesfordt/890sdfu2n5k8b9ep/wish/1875564417 https://padlet.com/gesfordt/890sdfu2n5k8b9ep/wish/1875564675 He taught us how hard it was to achieve goals in there time.

He put so many challenges in there for the man to get to their dream but they did not end up with the out come they wanted. This implies that the dream they wanted to get was very hard and very few people got it. ccraig820 https://padlet.com/gesfordt/890sdfu2n5k8b9ep/wish/1875566995 2021-11-08 16:07:24 UTC https://padlet.com/gesfordt/890sdfu2n5k8b9ep/wish/1875566995 Steinbeck says the American Dream cannot always be achieved.

Migrant workers were heavy at that time and even in the text, Candy stated that not many people reached the journey of getting something to call their own. A lesson that I think he wants us to learn is that to never make a promise about something that has a chance of never happening. I do agree with him, especially during that time, everything was easier said than done.]]> 2021-11-08 16:08:18 UTC https://padlet.com/gesfordt/890sdfu2n5k8b9ep/wish/1875569898 American Dream From Of Mice Of Men tdossey737 https://padlet.com/gesfordt/890sdfu2n5k8b9ep/wish/1875570753 I believe that the American Dream during that time was to own land and live off it.

Especially the American dream which is a false point of view of living the correct life back then. Lennie failed to reach his dream because he killed Curly´s wife and got into a lot of trouble due to him being slow.
